Soliloquy (Carousel) - Thomas Hampson (汤玛斯·汉普森)[00:00:00]
I wonder what he'll think of me[00:00:09]
I guess he'll call me the old man[00:00:13]
I guess he'll think i can lick[00:00:17]
Ev'ry other feller's father[00:00:19]
Well i can[00:00:22]
I bet that he'll turn out to be[00:00:27]
The spittin image of his dad[00:00:31]
But he'll have more common sense[00:00:36]
Than his puddin headed father ever had[00:00:38]
I'll teach him to wrestle[00:00:45]
And dive through a wave[00:00:46]
When we go in the mornin's for our swim[00:00:48]
His mother can teach him[00:00:51]
The way to behave[00:00:53]
But she won't make a sissy out o him[00:00:54]
Not him not my boy not bill[00:00:58]
Bill my boy bill[00:01:07]
I will see that he is named after me i will[00:01:10]
My boy bill he'll be tall[00:01:17]
And tough as a tree will bill[00:01:19]
Like a tree he'll grow[00:01:24]
With his head held high[00:01:26]
And his feet planted firm on the ground[00:01:28]
And you won't see nobody dare to try[00:01:31]
To boss him or toss him around[00:01:35]
No pot bellied baggy eyed bully[00:01:39]
Will boss him around[00:01:42]
I don't give a hang what he does[00:01:48]
As long as he does what he likes[00:01:51]
He can sit on his tail[00:01:52]
Or work on a rail[00:01:54]
With a hammer hammering spikes[00:01:55]
He can ferry a boat on a river[00:01:58]
Or peddle a pack on his back[00:02:00]
Or work up and down[00:02:02]
The streets of a town[00:02:03]
With a whip and a horse and a hack[00:02:04]
He can haul a scow along a canl[00:02:07]
Run a cow around a corral[00:02:10]
Or maybe bark for a carousel[00:02:14]
Of course it takes talent to do that well[00:02:18]
He might be a champ of the heavyweights[00:02:24]
Or a feller that sells you glue[00:02:26]
Or president of the united states[00:02:28]
That'd be all right too[00:02:32]
His mother would like that[00:02:34]
But he wouldn't be president if he didn't wanna be[00:02:35]
Not bill[00:02:38]
My boy bill he'll be tall[00:02:41]
And as tough as a tree will bill[00:02:43]
Like a tree he'll grow[00:02:47]
With his head held high[00:02:49]
And his feet planted firm on the ground[00:02:51]
And you won't see nobody dare to try[00:02:55]
To boss him or toss him around[00:02:59]
No fat bottomed flabby faced[00:03:02]
Pot bellied baggy eyed bully[00:03:05]
Will boss him around[00:03:08]
And i'm hanged if he'll marry his boss daughter[00:03:16]
A skinny lipped virgin with blood like water[00:03:19]
Who'll give him a peck[00:03:22]
And call it a kiss[00:03:23]
And look in his eyes through a lorgnette[00:03:25]
Hey why am i talkin on like this[00:03:29]
My kid ain't even been born yet[00:03:32]
I can see him when he's seventeen or so[00:03:36]
And startin to go with a girl[00:03:42]
I can give him lots of pointers very sound[00:03:49]
On the way to get round any girl[00:03:54]
I can tell him[00:04:02]
Wait a minute[00:04:05]
Could it be[00:04:07]
What the hell[00:04:10]
What if he[00:04:12]
He is a girl[00:04:14]
Bill oh bill[00:04:22]
What would i do with her[00:04:27]
What could i do for her[00:04:29]
Me a bum with no money[00:04:31]
You can have fun with a son[00:04:35]
But you gotta be a father to a girl[00:04:38]
She mightn't be so bad at that[00:04:46]
A kid with ribbons in her hair[00:04:51]
A kind o sweett and petite[00:04:56]
Little tin type of her mother[00:04:58]
What a pair[00:05:01]
My little girl[00:05:12]
Pink and white[00:05:15]
As peaches and cream is she[00:05:18]
My little girl[00:05:25]
Is half again as bright[00:05:28]
As girls are meant to be[00:05:32]
Dozens of boys pursue her[00:05:40]
Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her[00:05:46]
From her faithful dad[00:05:58]
She has a few[00:06:06]
Pink and white young fellers of two and three[00:06:10]
But my little girl[00:06:18]
Gets hungry ev'ry night and she comes home to me[00:06:22]
I got to get ready before she comes[00:06:42]
I got to make certain that she[00:06:46]
Won't be dragged up in slums[00:06:48]
With a lot o bums like me[00:06:50]
She's got to be sheltered[00:06:55]
And fed and dressed[00:06:57]
In the best that money can buy[00:06:59]
I never knew how to get money[00:07:03]
But i'll try buy got i'll try[00:07:07]
I'll go out and make it or steal it[00:07:12]
Or take it or die[00:07:17]
