Necessary Evil |
| 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 |
| BRIDGE |
| Well a man sometime has to sip a drink |
| And cast his eyes on a lovely shape |
| 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 |
| And so you feel inclined, it will help to keep in mind |
| That’s a necessary evil, my boy |
| For a man sometime has to sip of the grape |
| Or cast his eye on a lovely shape |
| And then sometimes a wager desire |
| 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’ll 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 my boy |
