Testo Better Off Without A Wife - Tom Waits
Testo della canzone Better Off Without A Wife (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Nighthawks At The Diner
So, this is kind of a little anthem here
All my friends are married, every Tom and Dick and Harry
You must be strong if you're to go it alone
Here's to the bachelors and the Bowery bums
Those who feel that they're the ones that are better off without a wife
I like to sleep until the crack of noon
Midnight howling at the moon
Going out when I want to, and I'm coming home when I please
Don't have to ask permission if I wanna go out fishing
Never have to ask for the keys
I've never been no Valentino, but I had a girl who lived in Reno
Left me for a trumpet player, well, it didn't get me down
He was wanted for assault, and though he said it weren't his fault
You know the coppers rode him right out of town
I'll be sleeping until the crack of noon
Midnight howling at the moon
And I'll be going out when I want to, coming home when I please
Don't have to ask permission, I wanna go out fishing
Never have to ask for the keys
Now you see, I'm kinda selfish about my privacy
Now, as long as I can be with me, we get along so well, I can't even believe it
I love to chew the fat with folks, I'll be listening to all your dirty jokes
I'm so thankful for these friends, I do receive
I'll be sleeping until the crack of noon
Midnight howling at the moon
I'll be going out when I want, coming home when I please
Don't have to ask permission, I wanna go out fishing
Never have to ask for the keys, no
Yeah
Hey, I got this girl, I know, man, and I just
She'd been married several times, and I
I don't wanna end up like her
I mean, she's been married so many times
She's got rice-marks all over her face
Yeah, you know the kind
Yeah
