Manama (Is Soon Enough For Me)

Manama(Is Soon Enough For Me) - Peggy Lee (佩吉·李)

The faucet she is dripping

And the fence she's fallin' down

My pocket needs some money

So I can't go into town

My brother isn't working

And my sister doesn't care

The car she needs a motor

So I can't go anywhere

My mother's always working

She's working very hard

But every time she looks for me

I'm sleeping in the yard

My mother thinks I'm lazy

And maybe she is right

I'll go to work maana

But I gotta sleep tonight

Oh once I had some money

But I gave it to my friend

He said he'd pay me double

It was only for a lend

But he said a little later

That the horse she was so slow

Why he give the horse

My money is something I don't know

My brother took a suitcase

And he went away to school

My father said he only learned to be a silly fool

My father said that

I should learn to make a chili pot

But then I burned the house down

The chili was too hot

The window she is broken

And the rain is comin' in

If someone doesn't fix it

I'll be soaking to my skin

But if we wait a day or two

The rain may go away

And we don't need a window on such a sunny day
