《Fraternity Blues (Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] By townes van zandt

[00:00:02] I decided to improve my social station

[00:00:08] I joined a fraternity organisation

[00:00:12] Tucked in my shirt

[00:00:23] Signed on the line

[00:00:24] Right away they said about to improve my mind

[00:00:28] The car I drove

[00:00:29] The books I read

[00:00:31] The food I ate

[00:00:34] The booze I drank

[00:00:36] The girls I took out

[00:00:38] My breath

[00:00:44] Said Kid we don't much like the way you walk

[00:00:46] And you gonna have to change the way you talk

[00:00:49] They said your dress is kind of sludge

[00:00:50] And your attitude is mighty grudge

[00:00:54] Said you got to learn to bubble

[00:00:58] You got to bubble with enthusiasm I started bubble

[00:01:06] Most important thing you can't forget

[00:01:08] Is learning the entire greek alphabet

[00:01:11] I never did really understand

[00:01:13] That that's gonna make me anymore a man

[00:01:14] But I learned it

[00:01:17] I can whip through that Son-of-a-beta backwards in five seconds

[00:01:26] Then they hit me with some pretty bad news

[00:01:28] Concerning the payment of monthly dues

[00:01:30] I never did know where that money went

[00:01:32] I never was sure it was well spent

[00:01:34] But I paid it

[00:01:37] I'm no troublecauser and besides I figured that's life

[00:01:41] If you want good friends it gonna cost you

[00:01:54] Well finally got to be party time

[00:01:56] I got a great big old jug of wine

[00:01:58] I went back to the house in about an hour

[00:02:01] Drinking whiskey sours

[00:02:04] Brandy Alexanders

[00:02:06] Reciting the greek alphabet to one another

[00:02:17] I could see I was gonna have to do my very best

[00:02:19] To get myself out of that fraternity mess

[00:02:21] I stood right there outside the door

[00:02:23] And I chugged that wine like never before

[00:02:27] Walked inside and bubbled

[00:02:32] All over a couple of their dates

[00:02:37] So now everything's back to normal again

[00:02:43] But there is still lots of room for improvement my friend

[00:02:45] 'Cause that fraternity stuff is too much for me

[00:02:47] Next time I'm gonna join a sorority

[00:02:49] Really get me something to bubble about
