Tutti sposati...condannati sorridenti...alla vestizione campale. Sappiate che mi siete piaciuti di sera...quando eravamo minchioni senza nulla a pretendere. Chi ha scelto per te? E chi ti ha invitato? Dovrei testimoniare che l'hai sempre amata!!! Anche quando sui sanpietrini specchiavi le ore vuote, tra un idioma e l'altro...sani di mente e fruste di cuoio...usati all'uopo per un miglior funzionamento della coppia...che oggi si veste di bianco e di nero..con fiori e collane...sposalizio all'una precisa...sarò puntuale a mentire per te...a dire la verità ci hai già pensato tu.
Better off without a wife
all my friends are married
every Tom and Dick and Harry
you must be strong
to go it alone
here's to the bachelors
and the bowery bums
and those who feel that they're the ones
who are better off without a wife
CHORUS
I like to sleep until the crack of noon
midnight howlin' at the moon
goin' out when I wanto, comin' home when I please
I don't have to ask permission
if I want to go out fishing
and I never have to ask for the keys
never been no Valentino
had a girl who lived in Reno
left me for a trumpet player
didn't get me down
he was wanted for assault
though he said it weren't his fault
well the coppers rode him right
out of town
CHORUS
selfish about my privacy
as long as I can be with me
we get along so well I can't believe
I love to chew the fat with folks
and listen to all your dirty jokes
I'm so thankful for these friends
I do receive
CHORUS
Tom Waits
