[00:00.00]The Sadder-But-Wiser Girl For Me (From"The Music Man") - Robert Preston
[00:00.69]No wide-eyed eager
[00:01.99]Wholesome innocent Sunday school teacher for me
[00:04.53]That kinda girl spins webs no spider ever
[00:07.55]Now listen boy
[00:08.70]A girl who trades on all that purity
[00:10.27]
[00:10.81]Merely wants to trade my independence for her security
[00:13.17]
[00:14.18]The only affirmative she will file
[00:16.48]Refers to marching down the aisle
[00:18.65]No golden glorious gleaming pristine goddess
[00:21.40]
[00:22.25]No sir
[00:23.16]For no Diana do I play faun
[00:25.51]I can tell you that right now
[00:27.03]
[00:27.66]I snarl I hiss
[00:29.27]
[00:29.87]How can ignorance be compared to bliss
[00:32.14]I spark I fizz for the lady who knows what time it is
[00:36.67]I cheer I rave for the virtue I'm too late to save
[00:40.96]
[00:41.65]The sadder-but-wiser girl for me
[00:43.98]
[00:47.95]No bright-eyed blushing breathless baby-doll baby
[00:50.53]
[00:51.32]No sir
[00:51.80]That kinda child ties knots no sailor ever knew
[00:55.78]
[00:56.47]I prefer to take a chance on a more adult romance
[01:00.33]
[01:00.93]No dewy young miss
[01:02.10]Who keeps resisting all the time she keeps insisting
[01:05.72]No wide-eyed wholesome innocent female
[01:08.06]
[01:08.88]No sir
[01:09.78]Why she's the fisherman I'm the fish you see
[01:12.44]
[01:13.22]PLOP
[01:14.11]I flinch I shy when the lass with the delicate air goes by
[01:18.65]I smile I grin when the gal with a touch of sin walks in
[01:23.04]I hope and I pray for a Hester to win just one more "A"
[01:27.20]
[01:27.87]The sadder-but-wiser girl's the girl for me
[01:30.85]
[01:31.75]The sadder-but-wiser girl for me
