Pardon my English Songtext
von Antônio Carlos Jobim

When you said goodbye,
Did I sit an′ cry?
Wanna go an' die?
Oh! No Siree!

Made another wish . . .
Get another fish!
Lot′s of pretty fish . . .
Are in the sea!

You think that you're my one and only . . .
Pardon my English,
I ain't lonely!

Ain′t about to brood . . .
In a happy mood!
Even sat and booed . . .
Your photographs!

Ain′t a total wreck . . .
You can double check!
Stickin' out your neck . . .
Is for giraffes!


So, if some night you want me baby . . .
I′ll meet you face to face,
You can name the place!

I'll be in the pink . . .
I′ll buy the drink!
After one or two . . .
I'll tell you why we′re through!

Absolutely through . . .
I think!

You think that you're my one an' only . . .
Pardon my English,
I ain′t lonely!

Ain′t about to brood . . .
Dream a happy mood!
Even sat and booed . . .
Your photographs!

Ain't a total wreck . . .
You can double check!
Stickin′ out your neck . . .
Is for giraffes!


So, if some night you want me baby . . .
Meet you face to face,
You can name the place!

I'll be in the pink . . .
I′ll buy the drink!
After one or two . . .
I'll tell you that I′m through!

Absolutely through . . .
I think!
