《I’m an Ordinary Man》歌词

[00:00:00] I'm an Ordinary Man (《窈窕淑女》电影插曲) - Rex Harrison

[00:00:23] I'm an ordinary man

[00:00:26] Who desires nothing more than just this ordinary chance

[00:00:30] To live exactly as he likes and do precisely what he wants

[00:00:35] An average man am I of no eccentric whim

[00:00:40] Who likes to live his life free of strife

[00:00:43] Doing whatever he thinks is best for him

[00:00:49] Just an ordinary man

[00:00:54] But let a woman in your life and your serenity is through

[00:01:00] She'll redecorate your home from the cellar to the dome

[00:01:03] And then go on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you

[00:01:08] Oh let a woman in your life and you're up against a wall

[00:01:13] Make a plan and you will find

[00:01:15] She has something else in mind

[00:01:17] And so rather than do either you do something else

[00:01:19] That neither likes at all

[00:01:22] You want to talk of Keats and Milton

[00:01:25] She only wants to talk of love

[00:01:28] You go to see a play or ballet and spend it searching for her glove

[00:01:33] Oh let a woman in your life

[00:01:36] And you invite eternal strife

[00:01:39] Let them buy their wedding bands for those anxious little hands

[00:01:46] I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling

[00:01:50] Than to ever let a woman in my life

[00:01:56] I'm a very gentle man

[00:01:58] Even tempered and good natured

[00:02:01] Who you never hear complain

[00:02:03] Who has the milk of human kindness

[00:02:05] By the quart in every vein

[00:02:07] A patient man am I down to my fingertips

[00:02:12] The sort who never could ever would

[00:02:15] Let an insulting remark escape his lips

[00:02:21] Just an ordinary man

[00:02:26] But Let a woman in your life

[00:02:29] And patience hasn't got a chance

[00:02:32] She will beg you for advice your reply will be concise

[00:02:35] And she will listen very nicely and then go out

[00:02:36] And do exactly what she wants

[00:02:40] You are a man of grace and polish

[00:02:43] Who never spoke above a hush

[00:02:45] All at once you're using language

[00:02:48] That would make a sailor blush

[00:02:51] Oh let a woman in your life

[00:02:53] And you're plunging in a knife

[00:02:57] Let the others of my sex tie the knot around their necks

[00:03:03] I prefer a new edition of the Spanish inquisition

[00:03:07] Than to ever let a woman in my life

[00:03:14] I'm a quiet living man

[00:03:16] Who prefers to spend the evening in the silence of his room

[00:03:20] Who likes an atmosphere as restful as an undiscovered tomb

[00:03:25] A pensive man am I of philosophical joys

[00:03:29] Who likes to meditate contemplate

[00:03:32] Free for humanities mad in human noise

[00:03:38] Just a quiet living man

[00:03:44] But let a woman in your life and your sabbatical is through

[00:03:49] In a line that never ends comes an army of her friends

[00:03:52] Come to jabber and to chatter

[00:03:54] And to tell her what the matter is with you

[00:03:58] She'll have a booming boisterous family

[00:04:00] Who will descend on you uh mass

[00:04:03] She'll have a large Wagnerian mother

[00:04:06] With a voice that shatters glass

[00:04:09] Oh let a woman in your life

[00:04:11] Oh let a woman in your life

[00:04:14] Let a woman in your life

[00:04:28] I shall never let a woman in my life
