(You Should) Meet Benny Bailey (LP版) - The Manhattan Transfer (曼哈顿行者爵士)[00:00:00]

Written by：Quincy Jone/Tim Hauser[00:00:00]

Let me introduce you[00:00:00]

I've heard that boredom's entered your life[00:00:07]

And you're feelin' real low[00:00:10]

Have you met Benny Bailey[00:00:12]

Well he's a fella that you should know[00:00:16]

They tell me lassitude's has laid you low[00:00:19]

An' you're losin' your grip[00:00:21]

You must meet benny bailey[00:00:24]

At least he's somebody who is hip[00:00:27]

To cure an ennui you need a bon nuit[00:00:32]

It's part o' the joie de vie[00:00:34]

And his attention I'm loathe to mention[00:00:38]

Is incident'ly available[00:00:40]

And so if providence should decree[00:00:43]

Who'll stand in the way[00:00:46]

So you'll meet Benny Bailey[00:00:48]

And you'll remember your lucky day[00:00:51]

This could be your lucky day[00:00:53]

Incident'ly he's the sort[00:00:55]

Tho' seen at court[00:00:57]

Carries an awful lotta weight[00:00:58]

In many less royal quarters[00:01:00]

Filled with less than regal daughters[00:01:01]

Quite the quixotic Romeo whom every[00:01:04]

Filly'll know because they find his[00:01:06]

Reputation wherever they go[00:01:08]

Whether it's here[00:01:10]

Or whether it's in another boudoir[00:01:11]

Whee[00:01:13]

He's such a scandal really[00:01:14]

T' handle him demands a savoir fairer[00:01:16]

And a great indulgence rarer[00:01:18]

Than any that I've encountered surveyin' the scene[00:01:20]

But never mind I'll explain it later[00:01:22]

The fact is that he's always ready to please[00:01:25]

And that's aroused a lot o'chatter[00:01:28]

But it really doesn't matter not to him[00:01:30]

No siree it's 'bout as big t'him as any flea[00:01:33]

He's gotta be maitre'd[00:01:37]

Or so it seems to me[00:01:40]

Wait'll y'meet you'll see what I'm sayin'[00:01:42]

To cure an ennui[00:02:32]

You need a bon nuit[00:02:32]

It's part of the joie de vie[00:02:34]

He's the kind o'cat people hear about[00:02:43]

But in a second handed way[00:02:46]

That there's nothing really clear about[00:02:47]

Let me introduce you[00:02:52]

I've heard that boredom's entered your life[00:02:59]

And you're feelin' real low[00:03:02]

Have you met Benny Bailey[00:03:04]

Well he's a fella that you should know[00:03:07]

They tell me lassitude's has laid you low[00:03:11]

An' you're losin' your grip[00:03:13]

You must meet benny bailey[00:03:16]

At least he's somebody who is hip[00:03:19]

We're glad you got to meet Benny Bailey[00:03:22]
