Текст песни Better Off Without A Wife (Tom Waits) с переводом

All my friends are married

every Tom and Dick and Harry

you must be strong

if you to go it alone

Here’s to the bachelors

and the bowery bums

and 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 howlin' at the moon

goin' out when I wanto

and I’m comin' home when I please

I don’t have to ask permission

If I wanna go out fishin'

never have to ask for the keys

I never been no Valentino

but I had a girl who lived in Reno

She left me for a trumpet player

But it did’nt get me down

He was wanted for assault

though he said it weren’t his fault

You know the coppers rode him right out of town

They say 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’ve been listening to all your dirty jokes

I’m so thankful for these friends

I do rarely see

Hey I’ve got this girl I know, man

She’s been married several times

and I don’t wanna end up like her

I mean, she’s been married so many times

she’s got ricemarks all over her face

yeah, you know the kind…
