Necessary Evil

Necessary Evil - Ella Fitzgerald/Louis Armstrong (路易斯·阿姆斯特朗)

Written by：Evans

Louis you're trouble what's your problem daddy

So I tried hard to be good

And do the things I should

I give up everything that I enjoyed

But if you slip a bit

And your heart says this is it

That's a necessary evil my boy

All my friends say I'm a fool

And I won't break any rules

Why all the saintly virtues I employ

But if the slightest fling

Makes your soul begin to sing

That's a necessary evil my boy

We'll a man sometime has to sip a drink

I'm hip I'm hip

And cast his eyes on a lovely shape

Ahhh you old rascal

Then sometimes a wager desires

If a man says he don't

He's not a man he's a liar

So don't let yourself be sad

If what looks good is bad

Reach out accept the things that bring you joy

I will so help me I will

And so you feel inclined

It will help to keep in mind

I know

Baby that's a necessary evil

Mmm my boy

For a man sometimes has to sip of the grape

A man drinks you know

Or cast his eye on a lovely shape a man flirts

And then sometimes a wager desire a man bets

If a man says he don't

He's not a man he's a liar

So don't let yourself be sad

If what looks good is bad

I reach out accept the things

That bring you joy

A man has got to live

Even stealers make you give

That's a necessary evil

Absolutely necessary

A necessary evil my boy
