Alexander And His Clarinet
[1st verse:]
Alexander Adams played a clarinet
Brought out music that no one has brought out yet
Miss Eliza Johnson was his angel pet
And Alexander was her one best bet
Strange to say they quarreled on last Sunday night
Monday evening Alexander came in sight
Played his clarinet beneath her window light
To hear Eliza yell with all her might
[Refrain:]
Honey, is that you? yes, yes
Don't even have to guess, my honey, what brought you?
Oh pet, I see you brought your clarinet
My honey, I'm angry, no, no
For lawdy sake don't dare to go
My pet, I love you yet
And then besides, I love your clarinet
[2nd verse:]
Alexander played his clarinet with vim
Up to Liza's door, then played himself right in
When he got inside he played and played like sin
Then played her cards to see who'd buy the gin
When he left, Miss Liza tried some sleep to get
Dreamt her Romeo came back to Juliet
Also dreamt he brought with him his clarinet
If no one woke her, she'd be shouting yet
Alexander y su clarinete
[1er verso:]
Alexander Adams tocaba un clarinete
Sacaba música que nadie había sacado aún
La señorita Eliza Johnson era su ángel consentido
Y Alexander era su mejor apuesta
Extrañamente, discutieron el último domingo por la noche
El lunes por la tarde, Alexander apareció
Tocó su clarinete bajo la luz de su ventana
Para escuchar a Eliza gritar con todas sus fuerzas
[Estribillo:]
Cariño, ¿eres tú? sí, sí
Ni siquiera tengo que adivinar, mi amor, ¿qué te trajo?
Oh cariño, veo que trajiste tu clarinete
Mi amor, estoy enojada, no, no
Por amor a Dios, no te atrevas a irte
Mi amor, aún te amo
Y además, amo tu clarinete
[2do verso:]
Alexander tocaba su clarinete con energía
Hasta la puerta de Liza, luego entró tocando
Una vez adentro, tocó y tocó como un pecador
Luego jugó a las cartas para ver quién compraría el gin
Cuando se fue, la señorita Liza intentó dormir
Soñó que su Romeo regresaba a Julieta
También soñó que traía consigo su clarinete
Si nadie la despertaba, seguiría gritando
