letra de tango ballad - lotte lenya & scott merrill
[macheath]
there was a time, and now it’s all gone by
when we two lived together, she and i
the way we were was just the way to be
i cared for her, and she took care of me
and that arrangement seemed to work perfectly
the milkman rang the bell, i got out of bed
i opened up her purse, paid him what he said
i’d have a glass of milk, back in bed i’d climb
you understand, she was out working all this time
and so we lived, me and my little mouse
in that snug two-by-four where we kept house
[jenny]
that was a time, and now it’s all gone by
when we were poor but happy, he and i
but when the day would bring no job to me
he’d curse and say, “how lazy can you be?”
i let him huff and puff; i worked long enough
but when he drank too much i’d get kind of grim
and shout the house down how i stood a clown like him
and then he’d turn around and try to bite my arm
and i would kick him in the t–th, meaning no harm
it was so sweet to be his little spouse
in that foul two-by-four where we played house
[macheath & jenny]
oh happy time, and now it’s all gone by
until we quit each other, you and i
[jenny]
you stayed in bed all day, and don’t you smirk
[macheath]
you know we said that you’d do all the work
now sleep’s for the night they say; it ain’t bad by day
[jenny]
so then i had my fiddles so i wouldn’t stir
[macheath]
it looked like soon i might be taking care of her
[jenny]
you’d think a woman had a right to have one gripe
you left me flat
[macheath]
well i just ain’t the working type
[macheath & jenny]
we locked the door and each commenced to roam
goodbye sweet two-by-four that we called home
