《Too Many Parties Too Many Pals》歌词

[00:00:00] Too Many Parties Too Many Pals - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)

[00:00:01] Too many parties and too many pals

[00:00:10] May break your heart someday

[00:00:19] Too many boyfriends and sociable gals

[00:00:29] May drive your sweetheart away

[00:00:42] Gentlemen of the jury

[00:00:44] The judge's speech began

[00:00:48] The scene was a crowded courtroom

[00:00:50] And the judge a stern old man

[00:00:54] This prisoner here

[00:00:55] Before you is a social enemy

[00:00:58] A lady of the evening

[00:01:01] And you know the penalty

[00:01:03] Her eyes reflect the nightlife

[00:01:06] Her cheeks are red with paint

[00:01:09] But I knew her mother gentlemen

[00:01:12] Why her mother was a saint

[00:01:16] Now I know that she's not like her

[00:01:19] And yet she might have been

[00:01:21] If it hadn't been for pettin' parties

[00:01:23] Cigarettes gin

[00:01:26] We took the night life off the streets

[00:01:29] And brought it in our own homes

[00:01:31] While girls beguiled with lipstick

[00:01:33] Danced to saxophones

[00:01:36] We opened up the underworld

[00:01:37] To the ones we loved so well

[00:01:40] So tell me gentlemen

[00:01:41] Is it right to send her to a cell

[00:01:44] If she drinks well you taught her

[00:01:47] And if she smokes you showed her how

[00:01:51] So gentlemen do you think

[00:01:52] It's right to condemn her now

[00:01:55] And when you're in that

[00:01:56] Juryroom just remember there and then

[00:01:58] That for every fallen woman

[00:02:01] There's a hundred fallen men

[00:02:03] And before you render a verdict on

[00:02:05] What this girl has done

[00:02:06] Just remember

[00:02:07] There's a man to blame

[00:02:10] And that man might be your son

[00:02:15] Now gentlemen

[00:02:15] That's my story

[00:02:17] My testimony stands

[00:02:20] This girl is my own daughter

[00:02:23] And the case is in your hands

[00:02:26] (Too many parties and too many pals)
