Текст (слова) песни: Tom Waits - Better Off Without A Wife
all my friends are married every Tom and Dick and Harry you must be strong to go it alone here`s to the bachelors and the bowery bums and those who feel that they`re the ones who are better off without a wife I like to sleep until the crack of noon midnight howlin` at the moon goin` out when I wanto, comin` home when I please 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 had a girl who lived in Reno left me for a trumpet player didn`t get me down he was wanted for assault though he said it weren`t his fault well the coppers rode him right out of town (chorus) selfish about my privacy as long as I can be with me we get along so well I can`t believe I love to chew the fat with folks and listen to all your dirty jokes I`m so thankful for these friends I do receive (chorus)
