shel silverstein - somebody else, not me كلمات أغنية

great moments come to every man
some situation where he can attain such fame that folks acclaim
the very mention of his name

now the circus played our town one day
three bengal tigers got away
and then the manager, looked right at me
he said “boy, here’s your opportunity”
that’s what he said, yeah, he said

somebody’s gotta go and get those cats
somebody’s got to go
’cause the, the tiger man is sick in bed
so, just put on your hat and coat he said
because the man who brings them back alive
a real hero’s gonna be
i said that’s a real great opportunity
for somebody, somebody else, not me

two ivory bones with ebony dots
yeah they often lead to cemetery lots
and a game of cards last night brought on a fight that
ended up in pistols shots
well now, i was farthest from the door
the others all got out before
and on the floor one guy laid dead
and through the transom
some dirty no_good mother said
here’s what he said
he said somebody’s gotta stay behind
somebody must remain
to explain to the police when, when they arrive
just why this here fella ain’t alive, yeah

now, the man who says he’s gonna do the job
is gonna gain himself a lot of notoriety, yeah
i said that’s a great opportunity
for some other
some other mother
not me, yeah
