《Necessary Evil》歌词

[00:00:00] Necessary Evil - Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特郎)/Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)

[00:00:11] So I tried hard to be good

[00:00:14] And do the things I should

[00:00:17] I give up everything that I enjoyed

[00:00:22] But if you slip a bit

[00:00:24] And your heart says this is it

[00:00:27] Thats a necessary evil my boy

[00:00:33] All my friends say I'm a fool

[00:00:36] And I won't break any rules

[00:00:39] Why all the saintly virtues I employ

[00:00:44] But if the slightest fling

[00:00:47] Makes your soul begin to sing

[00:00:50] That's a necessary evil my boy

[00:00:55] We'll a man sometime has to sip a drink

[00:01:02] And cast his eyes on a lovely shape

[00:01:08] Then sometimes a wager desires

[00:01:12] If a man says he don't

[00:01:15] He's not a man he's a liar

[00:01:18] So don't let yourself be sad

[00:01:21] If what looks good is bad

[00:01:24] Reach out accept the things that bring you joy

[00:01:29] And so you feel inclined

[00:01:32] It will help to keep in mind

[00:01:35] Baby that's a necessary evil

[00:01:40] For a man sometimes has to sip of the grape

[00:01:46] Or cast his eye on a lovely shape

[00:01:51] And then sometimes a wager desire

[00:01:57] If a man says he don't

[00:01:59] He's not a man he's a liar

[00:02:02] So don't let yourself be sad

[00:02:05] If what looks good is bad

[00:02:08] I reach out accept the things

[00:02:10] That bring you joy

[00:02:13] A man has got to live

[00:02:16] Even stealers make you give

[00:02:18] That's a necessary evil

[00:02:21] Absoultely necessary

[00:02:24] A necessary evil my boy
