《I’m An Ordinary Man》歌词

[00:00:00] I find the moment I make friends with a woman

[00:00:03] I become selfish and tyrannical

[00:00:05] So here I am

[00:00:06] A confirmed old bachelor and likely to remain so

[00:00:10] After all Pickering

[00:00:14] I'm an ordinary man

[00:00:17] Who desires nothing more than an ordinary chance

[00:00:22] To live exactly as he likes

[00:00:25] And do precisely what he wants

[00:00:28] An average man am I of no eccentric whim

[00:00:34] Who likes to live his life

[00:00:37] Free of strife

[00:00:40] Doing whatever he thinks is best

[00:00:43] For him

[00:00:47] Just an ordinary man

[00:00:53] BUT Let a woman in your life

[00:00:57] And your serenity is through

[00:01:00] She'll redecorate your home

[00:01:01] From the cellar to the dome

[00:01:03] And then go on to the

[00:01:04] Enthralling fun of overhauling you

[00:01:08] Let a woman in your life and

[00:01:11] You're up against a wall

[00:01:14] Make a plan and you will find

[00:01:16] That she has something else in mind

[00:01:17] And so rather than do either

[00:01:18] You do something else

[00:01:19] That neither likes at all

[00:01:23] You want to talk of Keats and Milton

[00:01:25] She only wants to talk of love

[00:01:28] You go to see a play or ballet

[00:01:31] And spend it searching

[00:01:32] For her glove Let a woman in your life

[00:01:37] And you invite eternal strife

[00:01:40] Let them buy their wedding bands for

[00:01:44] Those anxious little hands

[00:01:48] I'd be equally as willing for

[00:01:51] A dentist to be drilling

[00:01:52] Than to ever let a woman in my life

[00:01:59] I'm a very gentle man

[00:02:02] Even tempered and good natured

[00:02:05] Who you never hear complain

[00:02:07] Who has the milk of human kindness

[00:02:10] By the quart in every vein

[00:02:12] A patient man am I down to my fingertips

[00:02:17] The sort who never could ever would

[00:02:24] Let an insulting remark escape his lips

[00:02:31] Just very gentle man

[00:02:37] But Let a woman in your life

[00:02:40] And patience hasn't got a chance

[00:02:43] She will beg you for advice

[00:02:45] Your reply will be concise

[00:02:46] And she will listen very nicely

[00:02:48] And then go out

[00:02:49] And do exactly what she wants

[00:02:52] You are a man of grace and polish

[00:02:55] Who never spoke above a hush

[00:02:58] All at once you're using language

[00:03:01] That would make

[00:03:02] A sailor blush Let a woman in your life

[00:03:07] And you're plunging in a knife

[00:03:10] Let the others of my sex

[00:03:14] Tie the knot around their necks

[00:03:18] I prefer a new edition of the

[00:03:20] Spanish Inquisition

[00:03:21] Than to ever let a woman

[00:03:23] In my life

[00:03:28] I'm a quiet living man

[00:03:31] Who prefers to spend the evening

[00:03:33] In the silence of his room

[00:03:36] Who likes an atmosphere as restful as

[00:03:39] An undiscovered tomb

[00:03:42] A pensive man am I of philosophical joys

[00:03:47] Who likes to meditate contemplate

[00:03:53] Far for humanities mad inhuman noise

[00:04:01] Just quiet living man

[00:04:08] But let a woman in your life

[00:04:11] And your sabbatical is through

[00:04:14] In a line that never ends comes

[00:04:16] An army of her friends

[00:04:17] Come to jabber and to chatter

[00:04:19] And to tell her what the matter is with you

[00:04:23] She'll have a booming boisterous family

[00:04:26] Who will descend on you en mass

[00:04:29] She'll have a large wagnarian mother

[00:04:32] With a voice that shatters glass

[00:04:35] Let a woman in your life

[00:04:37] Let a woman in your life

[00:04:40] Let a woman in your life

[00:04:56] I shall never let a woman in my life
