[00:00:00] (You Should) Meet Benny Bailey (LP版) - The Manhattan Transfer (曼哈顿行者爵士)

[00:00:00] Written by：Quincy Jone/Tim Hauser

[00:00:00] Let me introduce you

[00:00:07] I've heard that boredom's entered your life

[00:00:10] And you're feelin' real low

[00:00:12] Have you met Benny Bailey

[00:00:16] Well he's a fella that you should know

[00:00:19] They tell me lassitude's has laid you low

[00:00:21] An' you're losin' your grip

[00:00:24] You must meet benny bailey

[00:00:27] At least he's somebody who is hip

[00:00:32] To cure an ennui you need a bon nuit

[00:00:34] It's part o' the joie de vie

[00:00:38] And his attention I'm loathe to mention

[00:00:40] Is incident'ly available

[00:00:43] And so if providence should decree

[00:00:46] Who'll stand in the way

[00:00:48] So you'll meet Benny Bailey

[00:00:51] And you'll remember your lucky day

[00:00:53] This could be your lucky day

[00:00:55] Incident'ly he's the sort

[00:00:57] Tho' seen at court

[00:00:58] Carries an awful lotta weight

[00:01:00] In many less royal quarters

[00:01:01] Filled with less than regal daughters

[00:01:04] Quite the quixotic Romeo whom every

[00:01:06] Filly'll know because they find his

[00:01:08] Reputation wherever they go

[00:01:10] Whether it's here

[00:01:11] Or whether it's in another boudoir

[00:01:13] Whee

[00:01:14] He's such a scandal really

[00:01:16] T' handle him demands a savoir fairer

[00:01:18] And a great indulgence rarer

[00:01:20] Than any that I've encountered surveyin' the scene

[00:01:22] But never mind I'll explain it later

[00:01:25] The fact is that he's always ready to please

[00:01:28] And that's aroused a lot o'chatter

[00:01:30] But it really doesn't matter not to him

[00:01:33] No siree it's 'bout as big t'him as any flea

[00:01:37] He's gotta be maitre'd

[00:01:40] Or so it seems to me

[00:01:42] Wait'll y'meet you'll see what I'm sayin'

[00:02:32] To cure an ennui

[00:02:32] You need a bon nuit

[00:02:34] It's part of the joie de vie

[00:02:43] He's the kind o'cat people hear about

[00:02:46] But in a second handed way

[00:02:47] That there's nothing really clear about

[00:02:52] Let me introduce you

[00:02:59] I've heard that boredom's entered your life

[00:03:02] And you're feelin' real low

[00:03:04] Have you met Benny Bailey

[00:03:07] Well he's a fella that you should know

[00:03:11] They tell me lassitude's has laid you low

[00:03:13] An' you're losin' your grip

[00:03:16] You must meet benny bailey

[00:03:19] At least he's somebody who is hip

[00:03:22] We're glad you got to meet Benny Bailey
