Testo Scene Of Professors - Laura Benanti
Testo della canzone Scene Of Professors (Laura Benanti), tratta dall'album Allegro (First Complete Recording)
An acid is monobasic, dibasic, or tribasic
According to the number of replaceable hydrogen
Atoms. Thus, HNO3 is monobasic, H2SO4 is dibasic...
She is never away
From her home in your heart
In your heart every day
She is playing her part
All living matter proceeds from pre-existing living matter
The new form takes on the character of that from which it came
Hazel is going to have a baby! How I envy
Her. That's all the news. Fondly, Jenny
The aim of philosophy is to exhibit the universe
As a rational system in harmony with its parts
Dear Joe, Popper is taking me to Europe!
He wants me to meet new friends
New friends? Get that, Joe? Her father wants her to find a husband!
Some lousy nobleman, perhaps!
A molecule is the smallest part of a substance which can exist alone
Alone?
You'll never get her back. Think of the men she'll meet
On the steamer. And when she gets to England? And Paris?
I met a charming boy named Bertram Wolhaven
She wants to get married. She's tired of waiting for you
Damn her. Damn her!
Bertram's father is in the coal and lumber business, too
That's the end, Joe. An alliance between two big
Lumber families. It's the handwriting on the wall
Unclasps her warm jewels one by one
Loosens her fragrant bodice
By degrees, her rich attire creeps
Rustling to her knees
Half-hidden, like a mermaid in seaweed
Pensive awhile
She dreams awake and sees in fancy
Fair Saint Agnes in her bed
But dares not look behind
Or all the charm is fled
The pragmatic philosopher searches for
The hypothesis which can best serve him
Philosophy? Hell! You'll never drive her out of your mind
In your heart every day
She is playing her part
Bertram is teaching me to swim. We're learning a new stroke
She is never away
And will never be free
The Greek philosophers finally rebelled against
Fatalism. "We need not be dominated," they said
We need not submit, Joe
We need not be dominated
To hell with her
Lots of good fish in the sea
Charlie, did you say that girlfriend of yours had a sister?
Ha! I'll say she has
Then get her. I'm on the loose
