《The Ballad of Principle Pete》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad of Principle Pete - Gorilla Rodeo!

[00:00:32] He was born one Monday morning

[00:00:36] And he was their only son

[00:00:40] And they said His name shall be Peter

[00:00:44] Like the rock faith was founded upon

[00:00:48] They took him to church every Sunday

[00:00:52] And they picked him up right after school

[00:00:55] When the kids asked him out to come playin'

[00:00:59] He had something important to do

[00:01:03] He would never be late for a lesson

[00:01:07] Kept his clothes always tidy and neat

[00:01:11] Not a chance that he took Peter played by the book

[00:01:15] So the kids called him Principle Pete

[00:01:19] He grew up and became pretty handsome

[00:01:23] Finished school and his future was clear

[00:01:26] Don't waste time with a life full of pleasure

[00:01:30] Settle down have a wife and career

[00:01:34] Now some people called him the robot

[00:01:38] A cold-hearted callous machine

[00:01:42] But all those attacks could not hold him back

[00:01:46] He was proud to be Principle Pete

[00:01:50] Every day on his way to the office

[00:01:53] He saw a girl singing songs in the street

[00:01:57] She was tired of life as a vagabond's wife

[00:02:01] And she dreamed of a man such as he

[00:02:05] When she sang she would leer at poor Peter

[00:02:09] When she winked he looked down at his feet

[00:02:13] When she gave him the eye he just waved her goodbye

[00:02:17] And went on being Principle Pete

[00:03:07] Now we all have our secret desires

[00:03:11] Even Pete was a man deep inside

[00:03:15] First she blew him a kiss then he couldn't resist

[00:03:19] As she crawled into him in the night

[00:03:22] When he opened his eyes in the morning

[00:03:26] He could still feel her breath in his ear

[00:03:30] Creeping under his skin but like hell he'd give in

[00:03:34] To a feeling so wondrous and weird

[00:03:38] Peter shunned our girl ever after

[00:03:42] So that she wouldn't lead him astray

[00:03:45] He would save all his love for the lord up above

[00:03:50] And the one that would once bear his name

[00:03:53] Now if there is a moral to this story

[00:03:57] It's that stories don't always end sweet

[00:04:01] You may think this is wrong but such is the song
