Too Many Parties Too Many Pals - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]

Too many parties and too many pals[00:00:01]

May break your heart someday[00:00:10]

Too many boyfriends and sociable gals[00:00:19]

May drive your sweetheart away[00:00:29]

Gentlemen of the jury[00:00:42]

The judge's speech began[00:00:44]

The scene was a crowded courtroom[00:00:48]

And the judge a stern old man[00:00:50]

This prisoner here[00:00:54]

Before you is a social enemy[00:00:55]

A lady of the evening[00:00:58]

And you know the penalty[00:01:01]

Her eyes reflect the nightlife[00:01:03]

Her cheeks are red with paint[00:01:06]

But I knew her mother gentlemen[00:01:09]

Why her mother was a saint[00:01:12]

Now I know that she's not like her[00:01:16]

And yet she might have been[00:01:19]

If it hadn't been for pettin' parties[00:01:21]

Cigarettes gin[00:01:23]

We took the night life off the streets[00:01:26]

And brought it in our own homes[00:01:29]

While girls beguiled with lipstick[00:01:31]

Danced to saxophones[00:01:33]

We opened up the underworld[00:01:36]

To the ones we loved so well[00:01:37]

So tell me gentlemen[00:01:40]

Is it right to send her to a cell[00:01:41]

If she drinks well you taught her[00:01:44]

And if she smokes you showed her how[00:01:47]

So gentlemen do you think[00:01:51]

It's right to condemn her now[00:01:52]

And when you're in that[00:01:55]

Juryroom just remember there and then[00:01:56]

That for every fallen woman[00:01:58]

There's a hundred fallen men[00:02:01]

And before you render a verdict on[00:02:03]

What this girl has done[00:02:05]

Just remember[00:02:06]

There's a man to blame[00:02:07]

And that man might be your son[00:02:10]

Now gentlemen[00:02:15]

That's my story[00:02:15]

My testimony stands[00:02:17]

This girl is my own daughter[00:02:20]

And the case is in your hands[00:02:23]

(Too many parties and too many pals)[00:02:26]
