时长: 08:46
Soliloquy-Frank Sinatra[00:00:00]
I wonder what think he'll of me[00:00:08]
I guess he'll call me the "old man"[00:00:12]
I guess he'll think I can lick[00:00:17]
Every other feller's father[00:00:19]
Well, I can![00:00:22]
I bet that he'll turn out to be[00:00:29]
The spitting image of his dad[00:00:33]
But he'll have more common sense[00:00:37]
Than his puddin-headed father ever had[00:00:39]
I'll teach him to wrassle[00:00:47]
And dive through a wave[00:00:49]
When we go in the morning for our swim[00:00:50]
His mother can teach him[00:00:54]
The way to behave[00:00:55]
But she won't make a sissy out o' him[00:00:57]
Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill![00:01:01]
My boy , Bill. I will see that he is named after me, I will.[00:01:12]
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall[00:01:20]
And tough as a tree, will Bill![00:01:23]
Like a tree he'll grow[00:01:28]
With his head held high[00:01:30]
And his feet planted firm on the ground[00:01:32]
And you won't see nobody dare to try[00:01:36]
To boss or toss him around![00:01:40]
No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll toss him around[00:01:43]
Don't give I a damn what he does[00:01:54]
As long as he does what he likes![00:01:56]
He can sit on his tail[00:01:58]
Or work on a rail[00:01:59]
A hammer, With hammering spikes![00:02:00]
He can ferry a boat on a river[00:02:03]
Or peddle a pack on his back[00:02:05]
Or work up and down[00:02:07]
The streets of a town[00:02:09]
With a whip and a horse and a hack[00:02:10]
He can haul a scow along a canal[00:02:12]
Run a cow around a corral[00:02:18]
Or maybe bark for a carousel[00:02:23]
Of course it takes talent to do that well[00:02:27]
He might be a champ of theheavyweights[00:02:34]
Or a feller that sells you glue[00:02:36]
Or President of the United States[00:02:38]
That'd be all right, too[00:02:44]
His mother would like that[00:02:50]
But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be[00:02:51]
Not Bill![00:02:54]
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall[00:02:56]
And as tough as a tree, will Bill[00:02:59]
Like a tree he'll grow[00:03:03]
With his head held high[00:03:05]
And his feet planted firm on the ground[00:03:07]
And you won't see nobody dare to try[00:03:11]
To boss or toss him around![00:03:15]
No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bastard'll boss[00:03:19]
Him around[00:03:26]
And I'll be damned if he'll marry the boss' daughter[00:03:34]
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water[00:03:38]
Who'll give him a peck[00:03:41]
And call it a kiss[00:03:43]
And look in his eyes through a lorgnet[00:03:45]
Say, why am I talking on like this?[00:03:51]
My kid ain't even been yet!born, [00:03:55]
I can see him when he's seventeen or so[00:03:59]
And starting to go with a girl[00:04:07]
I can give him lots of pointers, very sound[00:04:16]
On the way to get 'round any girl[00:04:22]
I can tell him ...[00:04:32]
Wait a minute![00:04:36]
Could it be?[00:04:39]
What the hell![00:04:41]
If he What is a girl?[00:04:44]
You can have fun with a son[00:04:54]
But you got to be a father to a girl[00:04:57]
She mighn't be so bad at that[00:05:07]
A kid with ribbons in her hair![00:05:12]
A kind o' neat and petite[00:05:16]
Little tin-type of her mother![00:05:19]
What a pair![00:05:22]
My little girl[00:05:31]
Pink and white[00:05:35]
As peaches and cream is she[00:05:38]
My little girl[00:05:43]
Is half again as bright[00:05:46]
As girls are meant to be![00:05:50]
Dozens of boys pursue her[00:05:57]
Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her[00:06:03]
From her faithful dad[00:06:14]
She has a few[00:06:21]
Pink and white young fellers of two and three[00:06:24]
But little my girl[00:06:32]
Gets hungry every night and she come home to me![00:06:35]
I got to get ready before she comes![00:06:57]
I got to make certain that she[00:07:03]
Won't be dragged up in slums[00:07:08]
With a lot o' bums like me[00:07:10]
She's got to be sheltered[00:07:18]
And be dressed in the best money can buy![00:07:21]
I never knew how to get money[00:07:27]
But, I'll try, by God! I'll try![00:07:32]
I'll go out and make it or steal it[00:07:38]
Or take it or die![00:07:45]
