《The Hard Way》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hard Way - Betty Hutton/Jimmy Dorsey/Edie Bracken/DOROTHY LAMOUR

[00:00:23] I exercised each morning

[00:00:26] Cold creamed my face each night

[00:00:29] Saw my dentist twice a year

[00:00:32] Curbed my appetite

[00:00:35] And so I modestly admit

[00:00:41] It didn't help one single bit

[00:00:47] Some girls can make any man dream

[00:00:50] By flashing an innocent gleam

[00:00:53] Me I do and hiccup curl my upper lip up

[00:00:57] Light a roman candle and scream

[00:00:58] I have to do it the hard way

[00:01:02] Some girls can wear any old rags

[00:01:06] And capture the wolves and the stags

[00:01:09] Me I dress in sables walk across the tables

[00:01:12] Waving three American flags

[00:01:14] I have to do it the hard way

[00:01:18] Let's say there's a dance

[00:01:21] They're playing a waltz

[00:01:25] And I want romance

[00:01:28] That's when I begin turning sommersalts

[00:01:31] Some girls can keep men on their toes

[00:01:34] By smiling and throwing a rose

[00:01:38] Me I wrack my noodle whistle yankee doodle

[00:01:41] Balancing a broom on my nose

[00:01:42] Oh ima telling you why

[00:01:46] I have to do it the hard way

[00:01:53] My freshman year in college

[00:01:55] I remember I was mild

[00:01:58] I wore pretty clothes got an a in geometry

[00:02:02] A normal child

[00:02:04] But nobody wanted to date me

[00:02:06] I'd sit at home and dream

[00:02:09] So in order to get attention

[00:02:12] I had to scream

[00:02:16] The fellas liked girls who wore perfurme

[00:02:19] So I bought forbidden flower

[00:02:22] But I had to mix it with ether

[00:02:25] To get them in my power

[00:02:28] I didn't want to go crazy

[00:02:31] But I ain't kidding jack

[00:02:33] Since that time I'm telling you I'm

[00:02:35] A raving ranting impetuous panning violent maniac

[00:02:41] The girls who read books and wear specs

[00:02:44] Get fellas with great intellects

[00:02:47] Me I get fanatics

[00:02:49] Guys who live in attics

[00:02:51] Yes I even pick up the checks

[00:02:52] I have to do it the hard way

[00:02:56] Suppose there's a park

[00:02:59] A boy on a bench

[00:03:02] I'm out for a lark

[00:03:05] So I make him fall with a monkey wrench

[00:03:09] When someone like hedy lamarr

[00:03:12] Steps into the swankiest bar

[00:03:15] All the fellas get up

[00:03:17] Light her cigarette up

[00:03:18] Me I'd have to smoke a cigar

[00:03:20] And then they call me a car

[00:03:24] Doin' everything the hard way
