《Better off Without a Wife》歌词

[00:00:00] Better off Without a Wife - Tom Waits (汤姆·威兹)

[00:00:45] All my friends are married

[00:00:49] Every tom and dick and harry

[00:00:52] You must be strong

[00:00:53] To go it alone

[00:00:57] Heres to the bachelors

[00:00:58] And the bowery bums

[00:01:01] And those who feel that they're the ones

[00:01:03] Who are better off without a wife

[00:01:08] I like to sleep until the crack of noon

[00:01:13] Midnight howlin' at the moon

[00:01:15] Goin out when I wanto comin' home when I please

[00:01:21] I don't have to ask permission

[00:01:22] If I want to go out fishing

[00:01:25] And I never have to ask for the keys

[00:01:32] I know I never been no valentino

[00:01:37] Had a girl who lived in reno

[00:01:40] Left me for a trumpet player

[00:01:42] Didn't get me down

[00:01:44] He was wanted for assault

[00:01:46] Though he said it weren't his fault

[00:01:49] Well the coppers rode him right

[00:01:50] Out of town

[00:01:53] I like to sleep until the crack of noon

[00:01:57] Midnight howlin' at the moon

[00:02:00] Goin' out when I wanto comin' home when I please

[00:02:06] I don't have to ask permission

[00:02:07] If I want to go out fishing

[00:02:10] And I never have to ask for the keys

[00:02:17] I know

[00:02:19] Selfish about my privacy most time

[00:02:24] As long as I can be with me

[00:02:26] We get along so well I can't believe

[00:02:31] I love to chew the fat with folks

[00:02:34] And listen to all your dirty jokes

[00:02:37] I'm so thankful for these friends

[00:02:39] I do receive

[00:02:43] I like to sleep until the crack of noon

[00:02:46] Midnight howlin' at the moon

[00:02:49] Goin' out when I wanto comin' home when I please

[00:02:55] I don't have to ask permission

[00:02:56] If I want to go out fishing

[00:02:59] And I never have to ask for the keys

[00:03:56] I like to sleep until the crack of noon

[00:03:59] Midnight howlin' at the moon

[00:04:01] Goin' out when I wanto comin' home when I please

[00:04:07] I don't have to ask permission

[00:04:08] If I want to go out fishing

[00:04:12] And I never have to ask for the keys
