《Soliloquy (Carousel)》歌词

[00:00:00] Soliloquy (Carousel) - Thomas Hampson (汤玛斯·汉普森)

[00:00:09] I wonder what he'll think of me

[00:00:13] I guess he'll call me the old man

[00:00:17] I guess he'll think i can lick

[00:00:19] Ev'ry other feller's father

[00:00:22] Well i can

[00:00:27] I bet that he'll turn out to be

[00:00:31] The spittin image of his dad

[00:00:36] But he'll have more common sense

[00:00:38] Than his puddin headed father ever had

[00:00:45] I'll teach him to wrestle

[00:00:46] And dive through a wave

[00:00:48] When we go in the mornin's for our swim

[00:00:51] His mother can teach him

[00:00:53] The way to behave

[00:00:54] But she won't make a sissy out o him

[00:00:58] Not him not my boy not bill

[00:01:07] Bill my boy bill

[00:01:10] I will see that he is named after me i will

[00:01:17] My boy bill he'll be tall

[00:01:19] And tough as a tree will bill

[00:01:24] Like a tree he'll grow

[00:01:26] With his head held high

[00:01:28] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:01:31] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:01:35] To boss him or toss him around

[00:01:39] No pot bellied baggy eyed bully

[00:01:42] Will boss him around

[00:01:48] I don't give a hang what he does

[00:01:51] As long as he does what he likes

[00:01:52] He can sit on his tail

[00:01:54] Or work on a rail

[00:01:55] With a hammer hammering spikes

[00:01:58] He can ferry a boat on a river

[00:02:00] Or peddle a pack on his back

[00:02:02] Or work up and down

[00:02:03] The streets of a town

[00:02:04] With a whip and a horse and a hack

[00:02:07] He can haul a scow along a canl

[00:02:10] Run a cow around a corral

[00:02:14] Or maybe bark for a carousel

[00:02:18] Of course it takes talent to do that well

[00:02:24] He might be a champ of the heavyweights

[00:02:26] Or a feller that sells you glue

[00:02:28] Or president of the united states

[00:02:32] That'd be all right too

[00:02:34] His mother would like that

[00:02:35] But he wouldn't be president if he didn't wanna be

[00:02:38] Not bill

[00:02:41] My boy bill he'll be tall

[00:02:43] And as tough as a tree will bill

[00:02:47] Like a tree he'll grow

[00:02:49] With his head held high

[00:02:51] And his feet planted firm on the ground

[00:02:55] And you won't see nobody dare to try

[00:02:59] To boss him or toss him around

[00:03:02] No fat bottomed flabby faced

[00:03:05] Pot bellied baggy eyed bully

[00:03:08] Will boss him around

[00:03:16] And i'm hanged if he'll marry his boss daughter

[00:03:19] A skinny lipped virgin with blood like water

[00:03:22] Who'll give him a peck

[00:03:23] And call it a kiss

[00:03:25] And look in his eyes through a lorgnette

[00:03:29] Hey why am i talkin on like this

[00:03:32] My kid ain't even been born yet

[00:03:36] I can see him when he's seventeen or so

[00:03:42] And startin to go with a girl

[00:03:49] I can give him lots of pointers very sound

[00:03:54] On the way to get round any girl

[00:04:02] I can tell him

[00:04:05] Wait a minute

[00:04:07] Could it be

[00:04:10] What the hell

[00:04:12] What if he

[00:04:14] He is a girl

[00:04:22] Bill oh bill

[00:04:27] What would i do with her

[00:04:29] What could i do for her

[00:04:31] Me a bum with no money

[00:04:35] You can have fun with a son

[00:04:38] But you gotta be a father to a girl

[00:04:46] She mightn't be so bad at that

[00:04:51] A kid with ribbons in her hair

[00:04:56] A kind o sweett and petite

[00:04:58] Little tin type of her mother

[00:05:01] What a pair

[00:05:12] My little girl

[00:05:15] Pink and white

[00:05:18] As peaches and cream is she

[00:05:25] My little girl

[00:05:28] Is half again as bright

[00:05:32] As girls are meant to be

[00:05:40] Dozens of boys pursue her

[00:05:46] Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her

[00:05:58] From her faithful dad

[00:06:06] She has a few

[00:06:10] Pink and white young fellers of two and three

[00:06:18] But my little girl

[00:06:22] Gets hungry ev'ry night and she comes home to me

[00:06:42] I got to get ready before she comes

[00:06:46] I got to make certain that she

[00:06:48] Won't be dragged up in slums

[00:06:50] With a lot o bums like me

[00:06:55] She's got to be sheltered

[00:06:57] And fed and dressed

[00:06:59] In the best that money can buy

[00:07:03] I never knew how to get money

[00:07:07] But i'll try buy got i'll try

[00:07:12] I'll go out and make it or steal it

[00:07:17] Or take it or die
