| 作词 : VanZandt | |
| By townes van zandt | |
| I decided to improve my social station | |
| I joined a fraternity organisation | |
| Tucked in my shirt | |
| Signed on the line | |
| Right away they said about to improve my mind | |
| The car i drove | |
| The books i read | |
| The food i ate | |
| The booze i drank | |
| The girls i took out | |
| My breath | |
| Said "kid, we don't much like the way you walk | |
| And you gonna have to change the way you talk" | |
| They said "your dress is kind of sludge | |
| And your attitude is mighty grudge" | |
| Said "you got to learn to bubble" | |
| "you got to bubble with enthusiasm" i started bubble | |
| "most important thing you can't forget | |
| Is learning the entire greek alphabet" | |
| I never did really understand | |
| That that's gonna make me anymore a man | |
| But i learned it | |
| I can whip through that son-of-a-beta backwards in five seconds | |
| Then they hit me with some pretty bad news | |
| Concerning the payment of monthly dues | |
| I never did know where that money went | |
| I never was sure it was well spent | |
| But i paid it | |
| I'm no troublecauser and besides i figured that's life | |
| If you want good friends it gonna cost you | |
| Well, finally got to be party time | |
| I got a great big old jug of wine | |
| I went back to the house in about an hour | |
| [when the boy's were] drinking whiskey sours | |
| Brandy alexanders | |
| Frozen [daquires] | |
| Reciting the greek alphabet to one another | |
| I could see i was gonna have to do my very best | |
| To get myself out of that fraternity mess | |
| I stood right there outside the door | |
| And i chugged that wine like never before | |
| Walked inside and bubbled | |
| All over a couple of their dates | |
| So now everything's back to normal again | |
| But there is still lots of room for improvement my friend | |
| 'cause that fraternity stuff is too much for me | |
| Next time i'm gonna join a sorority | |
| Really get me something to bubble about |
