A Little Learnin' Is A Dangerous Thing (Part 2) - Frank Sinatra

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 huh

That so hard to beat talk

You 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 scra

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
