A Little Learnin' Is a Dangerous Thing (Part 1)

歌詞

Yeah, like I said that knowledge can mess up your life at times. (Oh it makes you so nervous, I got a blank, now what's with you Frank?) Well, dig me, I started to school just like all kids do. (You mean, you were young once?) I was a Mickey Rooney of my day, learned my lessons and got along fine. (So should you clamor.) And then as time went on, I learned a lot of other things, (You clever boy!) Uh huh, and I really had myself some jolly time. (I can imagine as much.) I never played any favorites, 'cause I was much too smart. (You think you're too smart. Wait till you get further down.) I had my boots on and I had them laced up tight. (You talk like that in your era?) Wrote a book, Pearl, but then I made a mistake. (Most men do.) Uh huh, I should have known from the start. (Most men don't.) Aha, let me tell you what happened last night. (This is not this day's material?) It's bad, 'cause it started with a gal. (Always does.) And her name, it was Sal. (Sal, corny.) Oh she was cute. She was as fine as a bird on the wing. (Yeah, you always could think up,) (But you are much too bright to fall in love the first night.) But uh, a little learnin' is a dangerous thing. (I told you that on the other side of the record.) And then we danced for a time or two, till she said she was blue. (Uh, huh, there it is.) And right away, I was doing the thing... (Just rushing through life.) 'Cause I was hip to the fact that I could always jump back (Do a thing.) But a little learnin' is a dangerous thing. (Yes it is.) She made with sweet talk. (Uh hmmm.) That so hard-to-beat talk. (Know what, Frank?) What's that? (I know she even called you darling, lover man!) You've been eavesdropping. (Yes, I have.) That really sent me, coincidentally, I should have known enough then to scram. (No man is ever that clever -- that rhymes!) Now I guess you know it all, least that's all I recall. (That's all you'll ever recall.) Except the part about the man with a ring. (Oh you're going again.) In case it's news to you, the smartest I said I'd do. (Oh you down.) :A little learning is a dangerous, is a dangerous thing. (Oh, pure treachery, treachery!) Stop, stop!
