《Bosom Buddies (from Jerry’s Girls)》歌词

[00:00:00] Bosom Buddies (from Jerry's Girls) - Broadway Idols

[00:00:04] We'll always be bosom buddies,

[00:00:07] Friends, sisters and pals;

[00:00:12] We'll always be bosom buddies,

[00:00:16] If life should reject you,

[00:00:18] There's me to protect you.

[00:00:20] If I say that your tongue is vicious,

[00:00:25] If I call you uncouth;

[00:00:28] It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy

[00:00:33] Will sit down and tell you the truth.

[00:00:37] Tho' now and again

[00:00:39] I'm aware that my candid opinion may sting,

[00:00:42] Tho' often my frank observation might scald;

[00:00:46] I've been meanin' to tell you for years

[00:00:48] You should keep your hair natural like mine.

[00:00:51] If I kept my hair natural like yours, I'd be bald.

[00:00:56] But darling,

[00:00:58] We'll always be dear companions,

[00:01:02] My crony,

[00:01:04] My mate;

[00:01:06] We'll always be harmonizing,

[00:01:13] Orphan Annie and Sandy,

[00:01:14] Like Amos and Andy.

[00:01:17] If I say that your sense of style's

[00:01:21] As far as off as your youth;

[00:01:24] It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy

[00:01:30] Will tell you the whole stinkin' truth.

[00:01:33] Each time that a critic has written,

[00:01:36] "Your voice is the voice of a frog!"

[00:01:38] Straight to your side to defend you I rush;

[00:01:42] You know that I'm there ev'ry time

[00:01:44] That the world makes and unkind

[00:01:46] Remark.

[00:01:48] When they say

[00:01:49] "Vera Charles is the world's greatest lush!"

[00:01:53] It hurts me!

[00:01:57] And if I say your fangs are showing,

[00:02:01] Mame, pull in your claws,

[00:02:04] It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy

[00:02:10] Will notice the obvious flaws!

[00:02:15] I feel it's my duty to tell you

[00:02:17] It's time to adjust to your age;

[00:02:20] You try to be "Peg O' My Heart",

[00:02:22] When you're "Lady Macbeth."

[00:02:24] Exactly how old are you, Vera? The truth!

[00:02:28] Well, how old do you think?

[00:02:30] I'd say somewhere in between forty and the death!

[00:02:35] But sweetie,

[00:02:40] I'll always be Alice Toklas,

[00:02:43] If you'll be Gertrude Stein.

[00:02:48] And tho' I'll admit I've dished you,

[00:02:52] I've gossiped and gloated,

[00:02:54] But I'm so devoted.

[00:02:57] And if I say that sex and guts made you into a star,

[00:03:04] It's simply that who else but a bosom buddy

[00:03:10] Will tell you how rotten you are.

[00:03:14] Just turn your bosom buddy

[00:03:19] For aid and affection,

[00:03:21] For help and direction,

[00:03:23] For loyalty, love and for sooth!

[00:03:26] Remember that who else but a bosom buddy

[00:03:31] Will sit down and level

[00:03:33] And give you the devil,

[00:03:36] Will sit down and tell you the truth!
