better off without a wife

• tom waitsin nighthawks at the diner adlı güzelim albümünden bir parça.
  sözlerini de yazayım tam olsun.
  
  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
  
  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)
• parcanin introsu ayri bir lezzetlidir, cagirildigi dugunlerden kacabilmek icin kendini telefonla arayan, gece verandada kendini "eglendirmeye" calisan sizofrenik tom waits canlandirilir gozlerde, hafifce gulumsenir, bekarlik elbet sultanliktir, otesi yoktur :
  
  "for all the bachelors out there tonight, yeah for anybody who's never whistled this song.
  maybe you whistled it but you lost the sheet music.
  um...this is um...well actually i don't mind going to weddings or anything, as long as there not my own i show up. but i've always kinda been partial to calling myself up on the phone and asking myself out, you know? oh yeah, you call yourself up too huh? yeah, well one thing about it, your always around. yeah i know, yeah you ask yourself out, you know, some class joint somewhere. the buretto king or something, you know. well i ain't cheap you know. take yourself out for a couple of drinks maybe. then there'd be some provocative conversation on the way home. park in front of the house you know. oh yeah, you smoothly put a little nice music on, maybe you put on like uh, you know, like shopping music, something thats not too interruptive you know and then uh slide over real nice and say 'oh i think you have something in your eye'. well maybe it's not that romantic with you but christ i don't know, you know i get into it you know. take myself up to the porch, take myself inside or maybe uh, or may get a little something, a brandy snifter or something. 'would like you like to listen to some of my back records? i got something here' uh well usually about 2.30 in the morning you've ended up taking advantage of yourself. there ain't no way around that you know. yeah, making a scene with a magazine, there ain't no way around. i'll confess you know, i'm no different you know. i'm not weird about it or anything, i don't tie myself up first. i just kinda spend a little time with myself
  so this is kind of a little anthem here. "
