Ya Got Trouble - Robert Preston[00:00:00]
Ya got trouble understand[00:00:01]
Friend either you're closing your eyes[00:00:02]
To a situation you do not wish to acknowledge[00:00:04]
Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated[00:00:06]
By the presence of a pool table in your community[00:00:09]
Well ya got trouble my friend right here[00:00:12]
I say trouble right here in River City[00:00:15]
Why sure I'm a billiard player[00:00:17]
Certainly mighty proud I say[00:00:18]
I'm always mighty proud to say it[00:00:19]
I consider that the hours I spend[00:00:21]
With a cue in my hand are golden[00:00:22]
Help you cultivate horse sense[00:00:25]
And a cool head and a keen eye[00:00:26]
Jever' take and try to find[00:00:28]
An iron-clad leave for yourself[00:00:29]
From a three-rail billiard shot[00:00:31]
But just as I say[00:00:33]
It takes judgment brains and maturity to score[00:00:34]
In a balkline game[00:00:36]
I say that any boob can take[00:00:37]
And shove a ball in a pocket[00:00:39]
And I call that sloth[00:00:41]
The first big step on the road[00:00:42]
To the depths of deg-ra-day[00:00:43]
I say first medicinal wine from a teaspoon[00:00:44]
Then beer from a bottle[00:00:48]
An' the next thing ya know[00:00:49]
Your son is playin' for money[00:00:50]
In a pinch-back suit[00:00:52]
And list'nin to some big out-a-town jasper[00:00:53]
Hearin' him tell about horse-race gamblin'[00:00:55]
Not a wholesome trottin' race no[00:00:57]
But a race where they set down right on the horse[00:00:59]
Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy[00:01:01]
Settin' on Dan Patch[00:01:03]
Make your blood boil[00:01:04]
Well I should say[00:01:05]
Now friends lemme tell you what I mean[00:01:07]
Ya got one two three four[00:01:09]
Five six pockets in a table[00:01:11]
Pockets that mark the diff'rence[00:01:13]
Between a gentlemen and a bum[00:01:14]
With a capital "B "[00:01:16]
And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool[00:01:17]
And all week long your River City[00:01:20]
Youth'll be fritterin' away[00:01:21]
I say your young men'll be fritterin'[00:01:22]
Fritterin' away their noontime[00:01:24]
Suppertime choretime too[00:01:26]
Get the ball in the pocket[00:01:28]
Never mind gettin' dandelions pulled[00:01:29]
Or the screen door patched or the beefsteak pounded[00:01:30]
Never mind pumpin' any water[00:01:33]
'Til your parents are caught with the cistern empty[00:01:34]
On a Saturday night and that's trouble[00:01:36]
Yes you got lots and lots of trouble[00:01:38]
I'm thinkin' of the kids in the knickerbockers[00:01:39]
Shirt-tail young ones peekin' in the pool[00:01:41]
Hall window after school ya got trouble folks[00:01:43]
Right here in River City[00:01:45]
Trouble with a capital "T"[00:01:47]
And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool[00:01:48]
Now I know all you folks are the right kind of parents[00:01:50]
I'm gonna be perfectly frank[00:01:53]
Would ya like to know what kinda conversation goes[00:01:55]
On while they're loafin' around that Hall[00:01:57]
They be tryin' out Bevo tryin' out cubebs[00:01:59]
Tryin' out Tailor Mades like cigarette fiends[00:02:01]
And braggin' all about[00:02:04]
How they're gonna cover up a tell-tale breath with Sen-Sen[00:02:05]
One fine night they leave the pool hall[00:02:07]
Headin' for the dance at the Arm'ry[00:02:10]
Libertine men and Scarlet women[00:02:11]
And Rag-time shameless music[00:02:13]
That'll grab your son your daughter[00:02:15]
With the arms of a jungle animal instinct[00:02:17]
Mass-staria[00:02:19]
Friends the idle brain is the devil's playground[00:02:21]
Trouble oh we got trouble[00:02:23]
Right here in River City[00:02:25]
With a capital "T"[00:02:26]
That rhymes with "P"[00:02:27]
And that stands for Pool[00:02:28]
That stands for pool[00:02:29]
We've surely got trouble[00:02:30]
Right here in River City[00:02:32]
Right here[00:02:33]
Gotta figure out a way[00:02:34]
To keep the young ones moral after school[00:02:35]
Mothers of River City[00:02:40]
Heed the warning before it's too late[00:02:42]
Watch for the tell-tale signs of corruption[00:02:44]
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[00:02:51]
A dime novel hidden in the corn crib[00:02:53]
Is he starting to memorize jokes from Capt[00:02:56]
Billy's Whiz Bang[00:02:58]
Are certain words creeping into his conversation[00:02:59]
Words like 'swell' "[00:03:03]
And 'so's your old man' "[00:03:06]
Well if so my friends[00:03:09]
Ya got trouble[00:03:11]
Right here in River City[00:03:12]
With a capital "T"[00:03:14]
And that rhymes with "P"[00:03:15]
And that stands for Pool[00:03:16]
We've surely got trouble[00:03:18]
Right here in River City[00:03:19]
Remember the Maine Plymouth Rock and the Golden Rule[00:03:21]
Oh we've got trouble[00:03:26]
We're in terrible terrible trouble[00:03:27]
That game with the fifteen numbered balls is a devil's tool[00:03:28]
Oh yes we got trouble trouble trouble[00:03:32]
With a "T"[00:03:36]
Gotta rhyme it with "P"[00:03:37]
And that stands for Pool[00:03:39]
