I'm an ordinary man - Jeremy Irons (杰里米·艾恩斯)/London Symphony Orchestra (伦敦交响乐团)/John Mauceri (约翰·莫塞里)[00:00:00]

Lyricist：Alan Jay Lerner[00:00:01]

Composer：Frederick Loewe[00:00:02]

I'm an ordinary man[00:00:04]

Who desires nothing more than just an ordinary chance[00:00:06]

To live exactly as he likes[00:00:11]

And do precisely what he wants[00:00:14]

An average man am I of no eccentric whim[00:00:17]

Who want's to live his life free of strife[00:00:23]

Doing whatever he thinks is best for him[00:00:27]

Just an ordinary man[00:00:33]

But let a woman in your life[00:00:40]

And your serenity is through[00:00:44]

She'll redecorate your home[00:00:46]

From the cellar to the dome[00:00:48]

And then go on to the enthralling[00:00:49]

Fun of overhauling you[00:00:51]

Let a woman in your life[00:00:55]

And you're up against a wall[00:00:58]

Make a plan and you will find[00:01:01]

She has something else in mind[00:01:02]

And so rather than do either[00:01:04]

You do something else that neither likes at all[00:01:05]

You want to talk of Keats or Milton[00:01:09]

She only wants to talk of love[00:01:12]

You go to see a play or ballet[00:01:15]

And spend it searching for her glove[00:01:18]

Let a woman in your life[00:01:21]

And you invite eternal strife[00:01:23]

Let them buy their wedding bands[00:01:27]

For those anxious little hands[00:01:30]

I'd be equally as willing[00:01:34]

For a dentist to be drilling[00:01:37]

Than to ever let a woman in my life[00:01:38]

I'm a very gentle man[00:01:45]

Even tempered and good natured[00:01:48]

Who you never hear complain[00:01:51]

Who has the milk of human kindness[00:01:53]

By the quart in every vein[00:01:56]

A patient man am I down to my fingertips[00:01:59]

The sort who never would never could[00:02:03]

Ever would[00:02:06]

Let an insulting remark escape his lips[00:02:07]

Just a very gentle man[00:02:14]

But let a woman in your life[00:02:20]

And patience hasn't got a chance[00:02:24]

She will beg for your advice[00:02:27]

Your reply will be concise[00:02:28]

And she'll listen very nicely[00:02:30]

And then go out and do precisely what she wants[00:02:31]

You are a man of grace and polish[00:02:35]

Who never spoke above a hush[00:02:38]

Now all at once you're using language[00:02:41]

That would make a sailor blush[00:02:44]

Let a woman in your life[00:02:47]

And you're plunging in a knife[00:02:49]

Let the others of my sex tie[00:02:53]

The knot around their necks[00:02:56]

I prefer a new edition of the Spanish Inquisition[00:03:00]

Than to ever let a woman in my life[00:03:04]

I'm a quiet living man[00:03:11]

Who prefers to spend this evening[00:03:15]

In the silence of his room[00:03:18]

Who likes an atmosphere[00:03:20]

As restful as an undiscovered tomb[00:03:22]

A pensive man am I of philosophical joys[00:03:25]

Who likes to meditate[00:03:31]

Contemplate[00:03:33]

Free from humanity's mad inhuman noise[00:03:34]

Just a quiet living man[00:03:41]

But let a woman in your life[00:03:49]

And your sabbatical is through[00:03:52]

In a line that never ends[00:03:55]

Comes an army of her friends[00:03:56]

Come to jabber and to chatter[00:03:57]

And to tell her what the matter is with you[00:03:59]

She'll have a booming boisterous family[00:04:03]

Who will descend on you en mass[00:04:06]

She'll have a large wagnarian mother[00:04:09]

With a voice that shatters glass[00:04:12]

Let a woman in your life[00:04:14]

Let a woman in your life[00:04:17]

Let a woman in your life[00:04:20]

I shall never let a woman in my life[00:04:37]
