[00:00:00] Too Good for the Average Man - Blossom Dearie (布洛森·迪儿莉)

[00:00:06] Written by：Lorenz Hart/Richard Rodgers

[00:00:12] When russia was white

[00:00:14] It was white for the classes

[00:00:16] And black for the masses

[00:00:17] Unfortunate asses

[00:00:19] All wealth belonged to few

[00:00:23] When England was Tudor

[00:00:25] The king and his cronies

[00:00:27] Had cocktails at Tony's

[00:00:29] The poor had baloneys

[00:00:32] And that's how England grew

[00:00:35] Sing lah and huzzah for the poor folks

[00:00:39] As long as the poor folks are your folks

[00:00:43] Finer things are for the finer folk

[00:00:47] Thus society began

[00:00:52] Caviar for peasants is a joke

[00:00:56] It's too good for the average man

[00:01:01] Supper clubs are for the upper folk

[00:01:05] Packed like sardines in a can

[00:01:10] Through the smoke you get your check and choke

[00:01:14] It's too good for the average man

[00:01:18] Each poor man has a wife he must stick to

[00:01:23] Men of fashion can be cocky

[00:01:28] To be caught in flagrante delecto

[00:01:32] Is much too good for the average monkey

[00:01:37] All night parties drinking like a lord

[00:01:41] Fit into our social plan

[00:01:46] Waking in the alcoholic ward

[00:01:50] Is too good for the average man

[00:02:04] Fancy nerves are for the fancy class

[00:02:09] Since psychiatry began

[00:02:13] Neurostania isn't for the mass

[00:02:17] It's too good for the average man

[00:02:22] Rich old age can blossom like a rose

[00:02:27] Plastic surgeons have a plan

[00:02:31] Cutting up your face to spite your nose

[00:02:36] It's too good for the average man

[00:02:41] Lots of kids for a poor wife or dandy

[00:02:45] Girls of fashion can be choosy

[00:02:50] Birth control and the modus operandi

[00:02:54] Are much too good for the average floozy

[00:02:59] Psychoanalysts are all the world

[00:03:04] Rich men pay them all they can

[00:03:08] Waking up to find that he's a girl

[00:03:13] It's too good for the average man
