[ti:Soliloquy (From "Carousel")] [ar:John Raitt] [al:Original Broadway: Oklaholma, Carousel,South Pacific,The King and I] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Soliloquy (神々が恋した幻想郷) - John Raitt [00:08.89]I wonder what he'll think of me [00:12.59] [00:13.22]I guess he'll call me the "old man" [00:17.20] [00:17.74]I guess he'll think I can lick [00:20.03]Every other feller's father [00:22.58]Well I can [00:26.81] [00:28.29]I bet that he'll turn out to be [00:32.63]The spittin' image of his dad [00:36.35] [00:36.89]But he'll have more common sense [00:39.04]Than his puddin-headed father ever had [00:43.77] [00:44.44]I'll teach him to wrestle [00:45.85]And dive through a wave [00:47.06]When we go in the mornin's for our swim [00:50.02]His mother can teach him [00:51.52]The way to behave [00:52.54]But she won't make a sissy out o' him [00:55.25] [00:55.78]Not him Not my boy Not Bill [01:03.73] [01:09.56]My boy Bill [01:11.01]I will see that he is named after me I will [01:16.00] [01:17.60]My boy Bill He'll be tall [01:20.09]And tough as a tree will Bill [01:23.64] [01:24.63]Like a tree he'll grow [01:26.81]With his head held high [01:28.83]And his feet planted firm on the ground [01:32.13] [01:32.69]And you won't see nobody dare to try [01:36.72]To boss or toss him around [01:39.21] [01:39.73]No pot-bellied baggy-eyed bully [01:43.56]Will boss him around [01:46.84] [01:48.29]I don't give a hang what he does [01:50.32]As long as he does what he likes [01:52.11]He can sit on his tail [01:52.98]Or work on a rail [01:54.14]With a hammer hammering spikes [01:57.16]He can ferry a boat on a river [01:59.02]Or peddle a pack on his back [02:00.37] [02:00.94]Or work up and down [02:01.96]The streets of a town [02:02.90]With a whip and a horse and a hack [02:04.82]He can haul a scow along a canal [02:07.69]Run a cow around a corral [02:10.34]Or maybe bark for a carousel [02:13.02] [02:14.30]Of course it takes talent to do that well [02:20.79] [02:21.85]He might be a champ of the heavyweights [02:23.46]Or a feller that sells you glue [02:25.69]Or President of the United States [02:28.39] [02:29.25]That'd be all right too [02:31.97] [02:32.64]His mother would like that [02:33.70] [02:34.22]But he wouldn't be President [02:35.08]If he didn't wanna be [02:36.71]Not Bill [02:37.44] [02:39.12]My boy Bill He'll be tall [02:41.46]And as tough as a tree will Bill [02:45.51] [02:46.13]Like a tree he'll grow [02:48.40]With his head held high [02:50.29]And his feet planted firm on the ground [02:53.88]And you won't see nobody dare to try [02:58.07]To boss him or toss him around [03:00.64] [03:01.25]No fat-bottomed flabby-faced [03:04.01]Pot-bellied baggy-eyed bully [03:06.56]Will boss him around [03:09.08] [03:12.91]And I'm hanged [03:13.73]If he'll marry his boss' daughter [03:15.90]A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water [03:18.70]Who'll give him a peck [03:20.00]And call it a kiss [03:21.46]And look in his eyes through a lorgnette [03:24.22] [03:25.90]Hey why am I talkin' on like this [03:30.06]My kid ain't even been born yet [03:32.29] [03:34.21]I can see him when he's seventeen or so [03:39.64]And startin' to go with a girl [03:44.12] [03:45.27]I can give him lots of pointers [03:48.14]Very sound [03:49.67] [03:50.23]On the way to get 'round any girl [03:56.18] [03:56.91]I can tell him [03:59.14] [04:00.51]Wait a minute [04:01.16] [04:02.89]Could it be [04:03.54] [04:04.79]What the hell [04:05.37] [04:06.70]What if what if he is a girl [04:09.44] [04:11.81]A girl [04:12.33] [04:14.76]What would I do with her [04:15.96] [04:16.91]What could I do for her [04:18.12] [04:19.11]A bum with no money [04:20.88] [04:22.00]You can have fun with a son [04:24.40]But you gotta be a father to a girl [04:31.60] [04:33.28]She mightn't be so bad at that [04:36.40] [04:37.26]A kid with ribbons in her hair [04:41.00] [04:41.64]A kind o' sweet and petite [04:44.00]Little tin-type of her mother [04:46.20] [04:46.80]What a pair [04:52.53] [04:53.81]When I have a daughter [04:54.98] [04:55.52]I'll stand around her and budroom [04:57.59] [05:27.30]My little girl [05:28.47] [05:29.85]Pink and white [05:31.98]As peaches and cream is she [05:36.63] [05:37.19]My little girl [05:39.25]Is half again as bright [05:41.96] [05:42.75]As girls are meant to be [05:47.10] [05:48.03]Dozens of boys pursue her [05:53.02]Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her [06:03.05]From her faithful dad [06:07.87] [06:08.46]She has a few [06:09.76] [06:11.22]Pink and white young fellers of two or three [06:17.81] [06:18.46]But my little girl [06:21.31]Gets hungry every night [06:25.22] [06:26.05]And she comes home to me [06:33.34] [06:38.29]I got to get ready before she comes [06:41.91]I got to make certain that she [06:45.08]Won't be dragged up in slums [06:47.06]With a lot o' bums like me [06:51.61] [06:52.13]She's got to be sheltered [06:53.99]In a fair hand dressed [06:55.57]In the best that money can buy [06:59.13]I never knew how to get money [07:02.39]But I'll try [07:04.13]My God I'll try [07:07.62] [07:08.19]I'll go out and make it or steal it [07:12.88]Or take it or die
