Manhattan Transfer - Meet Benny Bailey слова песни
Let me introduce you
I`ve heard that boredom`s entered your life
And you`re feelin` real low
Have you met Benny Bailey?
Well he`s a fella that you should know
They tell me lassitude`s has laid you low
An` you`re losin` your grip
you must meet Benny Bailey
At least he`s somebody who is hip
To cure an ennui, you need a bon nuit
It`s part o` the joie de vie
And his attention, I`m loathe to mention
Is, incident`ly, available
And so if providence should decree
Who`ll stand in the way
So you`ll meet Benny Bailey
And you`ll remember your lucky day
Background Vocals: Once you`ve met
You won`t forget
No stuff
Benny`s tough
(Repeat 1,2,3)
This could be your lucky day
Incident`ly, he`s the sort
Tho` seen at court
Carries an awful lotta weight
In many less royal quarters
Filled with less than regal daughters
Quite the quixotic Romeo whom every
Filly`ll know because they find his
Reputation wherever they go
Whether it`s here
Or whether it`s in another boudoir
Whee!
He`s such a scandal, really
T` handle him demands a savoir fairer
And a great indulgence rarer
Than any that I`ve encountered surveyin` the scene
But never mind, I`ll explain it later
The fact is that he`s always ready to please
And that`s aroused a lot o`chatter
But it really doesn`t matter, not to him
No siree! It`s `bout as big t`him as any flea
He`s gotta be maitre`d
Or so it seems to me
Wait`ll y`meet, you`ll see what I`m sayin`
Background Vocals: Meet this cat
He`s where it`s at
That`s right, outta sight
Benny Bailey
He`s no slouch
For this I`ll vouch
He`s cool, he`s no fool
To cure an ennui
You need a bon nuit
It`s part of the joie de vie
He`s the kind o`cat people hear about
But in a second-handed way
That there`s nothing really clear about
Let me introduce you
I`ve heard that boredom`s entered your life
And you`re feelin` real low
Have you met Benny Bailey?
Well he`s a fella that you should know
They tell me lassitude`s has laid you low
An` you`re losin` your grip
you must meet Benny Bailey
At least he`s somebody who is hip
We`re glad you got to meet Benny Bailey
I`m happy fin`lly meeting with you
