Too Many Parties and Too Many Pals - George Hamilton IV[00:00:00]
Too many parties and too many pals[00:00:07]
Will break your heart someday[00:00:12]
Too many boyfriends and sociable sals[00:00:16]
Will drive your sweetheart away[00:00:22]
Gentlemen of the jury the judge's speech began[00:00:28]
The scene was a crowded courtroom and the judge a sterned old man[00:00:31]
This prisoner here before you is a social enemy[00:00:36]
A lady of the evening and you know the penalty[00:00:40]
Her eyes reflect the nightlife her cheeks they're red with paint[00:00:43]
But I knew her mother gentlemen her mother was a saint[00:00:48]
I know that she's not like her and yet she might have been[00:00:53]
If it hadn't been for pettin' parties cigarettes and gin[00:00:57]
We took the night life off the streets and brought into our own homes[00:01:01]
While girls beat time with lipstick and the streaks of saxophones[00:01:06]
We opened up the underworld to the ones we loved so well[00:01:13]
So tell me gentlemen is it right to send her to a cell [00:01:17]
If she drinks while we taught her and if she smokes we showed her how[00:01:23]
So gentlemen you think it's right to condemn her now [00:01:29]
And when you're in that juryroom just remember there and then[00:01:32]
For every fallen woman there's a hundred fallen men[00:01:36]
And before you render a verdict on what this girl has done[00:01:43]
Just remember you publicly man blame and that man just might be your son[00:01:47]
So gentlemen that's my story my testimony stands[00:01:54]
This girl is my own daughter and the case is in your hands[00:01:58]
Those Broadway roses and prevalent sounds[00:02:04]
At too many parties and too many pals[00:02:10]
