《Respectable(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Respectable - Nellie McKay

[00:00:04] There's a rich boy

[00:00:06] But he doesn't spend

[00:00:07] He just drinks his poland spring

[00:00:10] He's a quick boy walkin' round the bend

[00:00:13] Or at home alone reading

[00:00:15] And he wants to do good

[00:00:18] And he wants to do right

[00:00:21] So he does what he should

[00:00:23] But he's got to subscribe

[00:00:26] To the rules of the tribe

[00:00:32] Now you're

[00:00:33] Playin' for the team

[00:00:34] Everybody loves to love a winner

[00:00:37] And you're bustin' the beguine

[00:00:39] Everybody knows you're no beginner

[00:00:42] But ah the bums say oh

[00:00:45] Things ain't what they seem

[00:00:47] You're the respectable member of society

[00:00:49] But you don't have nothin' on me

[00:00:55] But you won't have nothin' you'll see

[00:00:57] Because I warned you

[00:00:59] They would scorn you

[00:01:02] But you never did a thing

[00:01:13] When you go in for the kill

[00:01:15] Everybody wants to make it happen

[00:01:18] And you make a hundred mil

[00:01:20] Everybody wants to scratch your back then

[00:02:25] And he wears a tie

[00:02:26] And his laugh is hard and fast

[00:02:29] He's a old man

[00:02:30] Far before his time

[00:02:31] And his jacket holds a flask

[00:02:34] And he tried to do good

[00:02:37] And he tried

[00:02:37] To do right

[00:02:39] So he did what he could

[00:02:42] But he had to subscribe

[00:02:45] To the rules of the tribe
