Frank Sinatra - A Little Learnin’ Is a Dangerous Thing, Pt. 2 lyrics

[Frank Sinatra - A Little Learnin’ Is a Dangerous Thing, Pt. 2 lyrics]

Yeah, like I said that knowledge can
Mess up your life at times
(Oh it makes you so nervous, I got a blank
Now what's with you Frank?) well, dig me
I started to school just like all kids do
(You mean, you were young once?)
I was a Mickey Rooney of my day
Learned my lessons and got along fine
(So should you clamor)
And then as time went on
I learned a lot of other things
(You clever boy) uh huh
And I really had myself some jolly time
(I can imagine as much)
I never played any favorites
'cause I was much too smart
(You think you're too smart wait
Till you get further down)
I had my boots on and I
Had them laced up tight
(You talk like that in your era?)
Wrote a book, Pearl
But then I made a mistake (Most men do)
Uh huh, I should have known from the start
(Most men don't)
Aha, let me tell you what happened last night
(This is not this day's material?)
It's bad, 'cause it started with a gal
(Always does) and her name, it was Sal
(Sal, corny) oh she was cute she was as fine
As a bird on the wing
(yeah, you always could think up)
(But you are much too bright to
Fall in love the first night) but uh
A little learnin' is a dangerous thing
(I told you that on the
Other side of the record)
And then we danced for a time or two
Till she said she was blue
(Uh, huh, there it is)
And right away, I was doing the thing
(Just rushing through life)
'Cause I was hip to the fact
That I could always jump back (Do a thing)
But a little learnin' is a dangerous thing
(Yes it is) she made with sweet talk
(Uh hmmm) that so hard-to-beat talk
(Know what, Frank?) what's that?
(I know she even called you darling
Lover man) you've been eavesdropping
(Yes, I have)
That really sent me, coincidentally
I should have known enough then to scram
(No man is ever that clever - that rhymes)
Now I guess you know it all
Least that's all I recall
(That's all you'll ever recall)
Except the part about the man with a ring
(Oh you're going again)
In case it's news to you
The smartest I said I'd do (Oh you down)
: A little learning is a dangerous
Is a dangerous thing
(Oh, pure treachery, treachery) stop, stop!
