Yeah, like I said, that knowledge can mess up your life at times
Oh, it makes you so nervous
Oh, it's murder
I shot a blank
Now what's with you, Frank?
Well, dig me
I started to school just like, uh, all kids do
You mean you were young once?
I was a Mickey Rooney of my day
Learned my lessons and got along fine
A little old social climber
And then as time went on, I learned a lot of other things
You clever boy
Mm-hmm
And I really had myself a jolly time
I can imagine as much
I never played any favorites 'cause, uh, I was much too smart
You think you were too smart
Wait till you get further down
Had my boots on, and I had 'em laced up tight
Kids talk like that in your era
We wrote the book, Pearl
But then I made a mistake
Most men do
Mm-hmm
I shoulda known from the start
Most men don't
Uh-huh
Let me tell you what happened last night
This is not dated material?
Stand back
'Cause it started with a gal
Always does
And her name, it was Sal
Sounds corny
Oh, she was cute
She was as fine as a bird on the wing
Now you always could pick 'em
But you were much too bright, to fall in love the first night
But uh, a little learning 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-oh, 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, uh, always jump back
Sure thing
But a little learning is a dangerous thing
Yes, it is
She made with sweet talk
Mm-hmm
That's-so-hard-to-beat talk
You 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 shoulda known enough then to scram
No man is ever that clever
That rhymes
Well now, I guess you know it all
At 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 gone again
In case it's news to you
This morning, I said "I do"
Oh, you doll
A little learning is a dangerous, is a dangerous thing
Oh, it's pure treachery
Treachery!
Trapped
Trapped!
