Ya Got Trouble - Robert Preston[00:00:00]
Written by:Meredith Willson[00:00:00]
Ya got trouble understand[00:00:00]
Friend either you're closing your eyes[00:00:00]
To a situation you do not wish to acknowledge[00:00:01]
Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated[00:00:04]
By the presence of a pool table in your community[00:00:07]
Well ya got trouble my friend right here[00:00:11]
I say trouble right here in river city[00:00:13]
Why sure I'm a billiard player[00:00:15]
Certainly mighty proud I say[00:00:16]
I'm always mighty proud to say it[00:00:17]
I consider that the hours I spend[00:00:19]
With a cue in my hand are golden[00:00:20]
Help you cultivate horse sense[00:00:23]
And a cool head and a keen eye[00:00:24]
Jever' take and try to find[00:00:27]
An iron clad leave for yourself[00:00:28]
From a three rail billiard shot[00:00:29]
But just as I say[00:00:31]
It takes judgment brains and maturity to score[00:00:32]
In a balkline game[00:00:34]
I say that any boob can take[00:00:35]
And shove a ball in a pocket[00:00:37]
And I call that sloth[00:00:39]
The first big step on the road[00:00:40]
To the depths of deg ra day[00:00:41]
I say first medicinal wine from a teaspoon[00:00:43]
Then beer from a bottle[00:00:46]
An' the next thing ya know[00:00:47]
Your son is playin' for money[00:00:48]
In a pinch back suit[00:00:50]
And list'nin to some big out a town jasper[00:00:51]
Hearin' him tell about horse race gamblin'[00:00:53]
Not a wholesome trottin' race no[00:00:56]
But a race where they set down right on the horse[00:00:57]
Like to see some stuck up jockey boy[00:01:00]
Settin' on dan patch[00:01:01]
Make your blood boil[00:01:03]
Well I should say[00:01:04]
Now friends lemme tell you what I mean[00:01:05]
Ya got one two three four[00:01:07]
Five six pockets in a table[00:01:09]
Pockets that mark the diff'rence[00:01:11]
Between a gentlemen and a bum[00:01:13]
With a capital B[00:01:15]
And that rhymes with P and that stands for pool[00:01:16]
And all week long your river city[00:01:18]
Youth'll be fritterin' away[00:01:20]
I say your young men'll be fritterin'[00:01:21]
Fritterin' away their noontime[00:01:23]
Suppertime choretime too[00:01:25]
Get the ball in the pocket[00:01:26]
Never mind gettin' dandelions pulled[00:01:28]
Or the screen door patched or the beefsteak pounded[00:01:29]
Never mind pumpin' any water[00:01:32]
'Til your parents are caught with the cistern empty[00:01:33]
On a saturday night and that's trouble[00:01:35]
Yes you got lots and lots of trouble[00:01:37]
I'm thinkin' of the kids in the knickerbockers[00:01:38]
Shirt tail young ones peekin' in the pool[00:01:40]
Hall window after school ya got trouble folks[00:01:42]
Right here in river city[00:01:44]
Trouble with a capital T[00:01:46]
And that rhymes with P and that stands for pool[00:01:47]
Now I know all you folks are the right kind of parents[00:01:49]
I'm gonna be perfectly frank[00:01:52]
Would ya like to know what kinda conversation goes[00:01:54]
On while they're loafin' around that hall[00:01:56]
They be tryin' out bevo tryin' out cubebs[00:01:58]
Tryin' out tailor mades like cigarette fiends[00:02:00]
And braggin' all about[00:02:03]
How they're gonna cover up a tell tale breath with sen sen[00:02:04]
One fine night they leave the pool hall[00:02:06]
Headin' for the dance at the arm'ry[00:02:09]
Libertine men and scarlet women[00:02:10]
And rag time shameless music[00:02:12]
That'll grab your son your daughter[00:02:14]
With the arms of a jungle animal instinct[00:02:16]
Mass staria[00:02:18]
Friends the idle brain is the devil's playground[00:02:19]
Trouble oh we got trouble[00:02:22]
Right here in river city[00:02:23]
With a capital T[00:02:25]
That rhymes with P[00:02:26]
And that stands for pool[00:02:27]
That stands for pool[00:02:28]
We've surely got trouble[00:02:29]
Right here in river city[00:02:31]
Right here[00:02:32]
Gotta figure out a way[00:02:33]
To keep the young ones moral after school[00:02:34]
Mothers of river city[00:02:40]
Heed the warning before it's too late[00:02:41]
Watch for the tell tale signs of corruption[00:02:43]
The moment your son leaves the house[00:02:46]
Does he rebuckle his knickerbockers below the knee[00:02:48]
Is there a nicotine stain on his index finger[00:02:53]
A dime novel hidden in the corn crib[00:02:55]
Is he starting to memorize jokes from capt[00:02:58]
Billy's whiz bang[00:03:01]
Are certain words creeping into his conversation[00:03:03]
Words like like 'swell'[00:03:08]
And 'so's your old man'[00:03:13]
Well if so my friends[00:03:15]
Ya got trouble[00:03:17]
Right here in river city[00:03:19]
With a capital T[00:03:20]
And that rhymes with P[00:03:21]
And that stands for pool[00:03:22]
We've surely got trouble[00:03:24]
Right here in river city[00:03:26]
Remember the maine plymouth rock and the golden rule[00:03:28]
Oh we've got trouble[00:03:33]
We're in terrible terrible trouble[00:03:34]
That game with the fifteen numbered balls is a devil's tool[00:03:36]
Oh yes we got trouble trouble trouble[00:03:40]
With a T[00:03:44]
Gotta rhyme it with p[00:03:46]
And that stands for pool[00:03:48]
