《West End Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] So you tried hard to be good

[00:00:02] And do the things that you should

[00:00:06] You give up everything that you enjoyed

[00:00:11] Ah but if you slip a bit

[00:00:16] And your heart cry this is it

[00:00:20] It's a necessary evil my boy

[00:00:23] All your friends say you're a fool

[00:00:27] And you won't break any rules

[00:00:34] Why all the saintly virtues you employ

[00:00:39] But if the slightest fling

[00:00:40] Makes your soul begin to sing

[00:00:47] It's a necessary evil my boy

[00:00:49] For a man sometime has to sip a grape

[00:00:54] Or cast his eyes on a lovely shape

[00:00:59] And then sometimes a wager desires

[00:01:03] If a man says he don't

[00:01:10] He's not a man he's a liar

[00:01:13] But don't let yourself be sad

[00:01:15] If what looks good is bad

[00:01:22] Reach out accept the things that bring you joy

[00:01:29] So if you feel inclined

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

[00:01:35] It's a necessary evil my boy

[00:01:38] For a man sometimes has to sip of the grape

[00:01:45] Or cast his eye on a lovely shape

[00:01:49] And then sometimes a wager desire

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

[00:02:01] He's not a man he's a liar

[00:02:06] But don't let yourself be sad

[00:02:09] If what looks good is bad

[00:02:13] You reach out accept the things

[00:02:15] That bring you joy

[00:02:18] So if you feel inclined

[00:02:22] It will help to keep in mind

[00:02:25] It's a necessary evil my boy
