Paroles : Perfectly Marvelous
I think people are people, I really do, Cliff. Don't you?
I don’t think people should have to explain anything
For example, if I should paint my fingernails green, and it just so happens I do paint them green, well, if anyone should ask me why, I say, "I think it's pretty."
"I think it's pretty," I reply
So if anyone should ask about you and me, you have two alternatives:
You can either say, " Oh yes, it’s true; we're living in delicious sin," or you can simply tell the truth and say:
I met this perfectly marvelous girl
In this perfectly wonderful place
As I lifted a gla** to the start of a marvelous year
Before I knew it, she called on the phone, inviting
Next moment I was no longer alone
But sat reciting
Some perfectly beautiful verse
In my charming American style
How I dazzled her senses
Was truly no less than a crime
Now I've this perfectly marvelous girl
In my perfectly beautiful room
And we're living together
And having a marvelous time
Ah Sally, I'm afraid it wouldn't work out
You're much too distracting
Distracting? No, inspiring!
She tells me perfectly marvelous tales
Of her thrillingly scandalous life
Which I'll probably use
As a chapter or two in my book
And since my stay in Berlin was to force creation
What luck to fall on a fabulous source of stimulation
And perfectly marvelous too
Is her perfect agreement to be
Just as still as a mouse
While I’m giving my novel a whirl
Yes, I’ve a highly agreeable life
In my perfectly beautiful room
With my nearly invisible
Perfectly marvelous girl
Sally, I can't afford... do you have any money?
A few marks...uh... six?
Oh god
Oh please Cliff, just for a day or two, please?
I... met... this
Truly remarkable girl
In this really incredible town
And she skillfully managed
To talk her way into my room
Oh, Cliff!
I have a terrible feeling I’ve said
A dumb thing
Beside, I've only got one narrow bed
We'll think of something
I don’t think people should have to explain anything
