Barbra Streisand - Folk Monologue (Value) lyrics
[Barbra Streisand - Folk Monologue Value lyrics]
Can I get my glass of tea? Mmm
Nothing like it! At this time I would like
Very much to do a Folksong since Folksongs
I think are still popular today uhm
This one is in Latvian and it's
From Latvia and it's about this
Tahitian girl who uhm
Had this lover and then one
Day this lover decides
That he doesn't like her
Anymore and likes her
Sister better so she decided that
The only thing to do
Naturally was to kill herself, see
So one day, oh
Was very nice out about 75 degrees
And she was taking this walk down
To the river to drown when
She, she tripped over this rock see and uhm
Oh
It was awful I mean, she broke her glasses
She scrapped her knees and
Uhm, just at this minute the
Lover and the sister
Happen to come by in a taxicab so
See they saw her on the floor and she
Having an astigmatism in her left
Eye, she thought that it was a wild bore so
She figured oh boy I'd better get
Down to the river fast
To drown so she runs down
There and what do you
Know the river was frozen so I
Mean she just stood there you
Know and she went tchhh, like
That tch, and uhm, because, i
Mean, she couldn't do it that day see
It was a small town they only had one river
So anyway than she figured, oh
It's getting late
Better get home cause her mamma
Would be worried and
Would kill her if she was late
For supper you know so, i mean
She gets up and she starts
Walking around home and
She bumps in to this guy
And what do you know, he turns out
To be an optometrist and just happens
To happen to have her
"suscription" so, anyway, uh? Oh, I'm
Sorry "suBscription"So anyway, I mean
She's I don't want you to think that this
Is one of those Hollywood-like stories:
She gets the glasses and sees
Happily ever after i mean, this
Is, you know
No like that i mean she had to pay for
The glasses just like you and
Me, she well, oh well, i
Mean, I don't want you to think
That I'm lying but she
Did get about a dollar fifty
Off, dollar sixty-five? So anyway
Uhm this guy (Oh) turned out to be very nice
And he even told her where
She could find another river so
I'll tell you the truth, this girl was a
Real creep i mean
You know who would wanna sing
A song about her?
I mean, her sister was really much
Nicer and uhm, I mean, I
I think she came from a better family
(Singing) call me a boob
Call me a schlemiel
Call me a brain with a missing wheel
Call me what you will
But nonetheless I'm still
In love with Harold Mingert
It's not because he has a car
Arnie Fleisher has a car
And a car is just a car
But if Harold didn't have a car too his name
I guess I'd love him just the same
Call me what you will
But nonetheless I'm still
In love with Harold Mingert
And it's not because he has a wealthy family
Arnie Fleischer has a wealthy family
But money isn't everything
And if Harold didn't have a car too his name
I know I'd love him just the same
But sometimes I ask myself why than
Do I than love Harold Mingert
Harold isn't handsome or clever or smart
And I don't find romance and
A dance in his heart
The only answers I can think about
Harold Mingert's money and
Harold Mingert's car call me what you will
But non the less I'm still
In love with Harold Mingert
Also Arnie Fleisher! "Value"
Nothing like it! At this time I would like
Very much to do a Folksong since Folksongs
