מילים לשיר Better Off Without A Wife – Tom Waits

all my friends are married
you must be strong
every Tom and Dick and Harry
here's to the bachelors
to go it alone
and the bowery bums
and those who feel that they're the ones who are better off without a wife
midnight howlin' at the moon
goin' out when I wanto, comin' home when I please
I like to sleep until the crack of noon
I don't have to ask permission
if I want to go out fishing
and I never have to ask for the keys
never been no Valentino left me for a trumpet player
had a girl who lived in Reno
didn't get me down
he was wanted for assault
well the coppers rode him right
though he said it weren't his fault
out of town selfish about my privacy
as long as I can be with me
and listen to all your dirty jokes
we get along so well I can't believe
I love to chew the fat with folks
I do receive
I'm so thankful for these friends.
