Too Good for the Average Man - Blossom Dearie (布洛森·迪儿莉)[00:00:00]
Written by:Lorenz Hart/Richard Rodgers[00:00:02]
When russia was white[00:00:12]
It was white for the classes[00:00:13]
And black for the masses[00:00:15]
Unfortunate asses[00:00:17]
All wealth belonged to few[00:00:18]
When England was Tudor[00:00:22]
The king and his cronies[00:00:25]
Had cocktails at Tony's[00:00:27]
The poor had baloneys[00:00:29]
And that's how England grew[00:00:31]
Sing lah and huzzah for the poor folks[00:00:35]
As long as the poor folks are your folks[00:00:38]
Finer things are for the finer folk[00:00:43]
Thus society began[00:00:47]
Caviar for peasants is a joke[00:00:51]
It's too good for the average man[00:00:55]
Supper clubs are for the upper folk[00:01:00]
Packed like sardines in a can[00:01:05]
Through the smoke you get your check and choke[00:01:09]
It's too good for the average man[00:01:13]
Each poor man has a wife he must stick to[00:01:18]
Men of fashion can be cocky[00:01:22]
To be caught in flagrante delecto[00:01:27]
Is much too good for the average monkey[00:01:31]
All night parties drinking like a lord[00:01:36]
Fit into our social plan[00:01:41]
Waking in the alcoholic ward[00:01:45]
Is too good for the average man[00:01:49]
Fancy nerves are for the fancy class[00:02:04]
Since psychiatry began[00:02:08]
Neurostania isn't for the mass[00:02:13]
It's too good for the average man[00:02:17]
Rich old age can blossom like a rose[00:02:22]
Plastic surgeons have a plan[00:02:26]
Cutting up your face to spite your nose[00:02:31]
It's too good for the average man[00:02:35]
Lots of kids for a poor wife or dandy[00:02:40]
Girls of fashion can be choosy[00:02:45]
Birth control and the modus operandi[00:02:49]
Are much too good for the average floozy[00:02:54]
Psychoanalysts are all the world[00:02:59]
Rich men pay them all they can[00:03:03]
Waking up to find that he's a girl[00:03:08]
It's too good for the average man[00:03:12]
