Baltimore - Audra McDonald (奥德拉·麦当娜)[00:00:00]

Written by：Doug Petty[00:00:02]

When my mother told me[00:00:04]

Don't forget your rain boots when it's wet[00:00:05]

I listened up just like a good good little girl[00:00:08]

And when she prudently suggested I should lose the cigarette[00:00:12]

I knew that bit of wisdom was a pearl[00:00:16]

But in all of the advice[00:00:20]

That I collected through the years[00:00:22]

I admit to you with trepidatious dread[00:00:24]

Unfortunately there was some that whizzed right through my ears[00:00:29]

Ah where[00:00:33]

Where was my mind when mother said[00:00:35]

Avoid navel contemplating floppy haired actors[00:00:41]

Originally from Baltimore[00:00:45]

Who excel at mime still placed vertigo[00:00:49]

And have issues with their mom[00:00:52]

Sure at first they're very charming[00:00:55]

Their attention is disarming[00:00:58]

But give attention in return[00:01:00]

And dear they'll drop you like a bomb[00:01:02]

Yes do avoid[00:01:04]

REO speedwagon loving Christopher Walken imitating thespians[00:01:06]

Originally from Baltimore[00:01:10]

Who can't piss unless their shrink says it's ok[00:01:13]

Why let them break your heart dear[00:01:19]

Put your head on and be smart dear[00:01:21]

Put some bug spray on and make them go away[00:01:23]

When my daddy told me look both ways[00:01:32]

Before you 'cross the street[00:01:34]

I took his words to heart and I complied[00:01:35]

And when he told me be yourself[00:01:39]

I should march to my own beat[00:01:41]

I did[00:01:43]

And found that truth was bonafide[00:01:44]

But in all of the advice[00:01:48]

That I collected through the years[00:01:49]

I have to say I am a bit surprised[00:01:52]

I missed the best advice that daddy trumpeted my way[00:01:56]

Ah where[00:02:00]

Where was my mind when he advised[00:02:03]

Avoid narcissistic alcoholic think they're french but they're not[00:02:08]

Waiters originally from Baltimore[00:02:13]

Who deflower you carry a copy a fountainhead in their pocket[00:02:17]

And lie about their age[00:02:20]

Sure at first their eyes are steely[00:02:24]

And their words are touchy feely[00:02:26]

Have them cheat upon you twice[00:02:29]

And my advice is more than sage[00:02:30]

Yes do steer clear[00:02:33]

Of renaissance festival loving food service consultants[00:02:35]

Originally from Baltimore[00:02:38]

Who say they dance with NYC ballet[00:02:42]

But are really an administrative intern[00:02:44]

For it's clear upon reflection[00:02:48]

If you give him your affection[00:02:50]

You will understand the concept crash and burn[00:02:52]

The singles world out there can be a scary land[00:02:56]

I have to ask is it me[00:03:01]

Or is it Maryland[00:03:03]

So if you can possibly avoid it[00:03:07]

Don't fall in love or lust or have crushes[00:03:10]

On boys from Baltimore[00:03:12]

Though at first they seem chuck full of style and class[00:03:15]

Sure Cal Ripken's charm is actual[00:03:21]

But he's married and it's factual[00:03:24]

Pamlico is not the only place you'll find a horse's a**[00:03:26]

Yes at all costs[00:03:30]

Avoid ridiculous though amusing experiences[00:03:32]

Cultivated in Baltimore[00:03:36]

Barry Levinson I mean no disrespect[00:03:40]

If you have to go to Baltimore[00:03:45]

And meet boys do not marry 'em[00:03:47]

Although it's true I hear that they've got quite a nice aquarium[00:03:49]

Ladies take your hearts[00:03:54]

And run as fast as little legs can carry 'em[00:03:55]

From Baltimore[00:03:58]

There are better boys in Boise[00:04:02]

Boys in Boise always call[00:04:05]

You'll have better luck in Josie[00:04:07]

Or St Paul well not St Paul[00:04:09]

But no matter where life takes you[00:04:11]

It just makes no sense to fall[00:04:13]

In Baltimore[00:04:15]

Hey where are you from[00:04:27]

Silver spring oh[00:04:28]
