Soliloquy (From "Carousel") - John Raitt/Benny Goodman (本尼·古得曼)[00:00:00]

I wonder what he'll think of me[00:00:08]

I guess he'll call me the "old man"[00:00:13]

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[00:00:28]

The spittin' image of his dad[00:00:32]

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[00:00:44]

And dive through a wave[00:00:45]

When we go in the mornin's for our swim[00:00:47]

His mother can teach him[00:00:49]

The way to behave[00:00:51]

But she won't make a sissy out o' him[00:00:52]

Not him Not my boy Not Bill [00:00:55]

My boy Bill[00:01:09]

I will see that he is named after me I will [00:01:11]

My boy Bill He'll be tall[00:01:17]

And tough as a tree will Bill [00:01:20]

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[00:01:32]

To boss or toss him around [00:01:36]

No pot-bellied baggy-eyed bully[00:01:39]

Will boss him around [00:01:43]

I don't give a hang what he does[00:01:48]

As long as he does what he likes [00:01:50]

He can sit on his tail[00:01:52]

Or work on a rail[00:01:53]

With a hammer hammering spikes [00:01:54]

He can ferry a boat on a river[00:01:57]

Or peddle a pack on his back[00:01:59]

Or work up and down[00:02:00]

The streets of a town[00:02:01]

With a whip and a horse and a hack [00:02:02]

He can haul a scow along a canal[00:02:04]

Run a cow around a corral[00:02:07]

Or maybe bark for a carousel[00:02:10]

Of course it takes talent to do that well [00:02:14]

He might be a champ of the heavyweights [00:02:22]

Or a feller that sells you glue [00:02:23]

Or President of the United States [00:02:25]

That'd be all right too[00:02:29]

His mother would like that[00:02:33]

But he wouldn't be President if he didn't wanna be [00:02:34]

Not Bill [00:02:37]

My boy Bill He'll be tall[00:02:39]

And as tough as a tree will Bill[00:02:41]

Like a tree he'll grow[00:02:46]

With his head held high[00:02:48]

And his feet planted firm on the ground[00:02:50]

And you won't see nobody dare to try[00:02:54]

To boss him or toss him around [00:02:58]

No fat-bottomed flabby-faced [00:03:01]

Pot-bellied baggy-eyed bully[00:03:04]

Will boss him around [00:03:06]

And I'm hanged if he'll marry his boss' daughter[00:03:13]

A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water[00:03:16]

Who'll give him a peck[00:03:19]

And call it a kiss[00:03:20]

And look in his eyes through a lorgnette[00:03:21]

Hey why am I talkin' on like this [00:03:26]

My kid ain't even been born yet [00:03:30]

I can see him when he's seventeen or so [00:03:33]

And startin' to go with a girl[00:03:39]

I can give him lots of pointers very sound[00:03:44]

On the way to get 'round any girl[00:03:49]

I can tell him[00:03:56]

Wait a minute [00:04:00]

Could it be [00:04:02]

What the hell [00:04:04]

What if waht if he is a girl [00:04:06]

A girl[00:04:11]

What would I do with her [00:04:14]

What could I do for her [00:04:16]

A bum with no money [00:04:18]

You can have fun with a son[00:04:21]

But you gotta be a father to a girl[00:04:23]

She mightn't be so bad at that[00:04:33]

A kid with ribbons in her hair [00:04:36]

A kind o' sweet and petite[00:04:41]

Little tin-type of her mother [00:04:43]

What a pair [00:04:46]

My little girl[00:05:27]

Pink and white[00:05:29]

As peaches and cream is she[00:05:31]

My little girl[00:05:36]

Is half again as bright[00:05:38]

As girls are meant to be [00:05:42]

Dozens of boys pursue her[00:05:47]

Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her[00:05:52]

From her faithful dad[00:06:02]

She has a few[00:06:08]

Pink and white young fellers of two or three[00:06:10]

But my little girl[00:06:18]

Gets hungry every night and she comes home to me [00:06:20]

I got to get ready before she comes [00:06:37]

I got to make certain that she[00:06:41]

Won't be dragged up in slums[00:06:44]

With a lot o' bums like me[00:06:46]

She's got to be sheltered[00:06:51]

In a fair hand dressed[00:06:53]

In the best that money can buy [00:06:55]

I never knew how to get money [00:06:58]

But I'll try I'll try I'll try [00:07:01]

I'll go out and make it or steal it[00:07:07]

Or take it or die[00:07:12]
