Текст песни: I'm One of the Smart Ones + перевод

I’m one of the smart ones!

I got it all figured!

You won’t find me In one of them broken down flats,

Commanding an army of brats

Not me.

You won’t catch me,

Bent over and ready to scrub

Some grimy old ring in a tub.

Not me!

Got it figured,

Got it planned!

How’s my future?

Grand!

You won’t see me Whenever the dinner is through

With mountains of dishes to do,

Not me.

That’s for some dumb someone else,

Not me.

My Daddy used to tell me When I was barely three,

or (Back in the old teepee,)

Lay down with the dog

And you wake up with the flea.

Pick out the brave with wampum,

All the rest is talk;

Only a brave with wampum

Buys a good tomahawk.

Lovin' is like a horse race:

You’ll have a valued hide,

If you remain a filly

Only winners can ride.

Daddy, I learned my lesson

Daddy, I’m cutting loose

Daddy, I’m gonna make you proud

Of this papoose.

I’m one of the smart ones.

I got it all figured.

You won’t find me Tied down to some boozy old slob

Who’s chronically out of a job,

Not me!

You won’t catch me Uncapping a bottle or beer

And figuring Christmas is here

Not me!

Got it figured

Soon or late…

I’ll be doing great!

Great! Great, great…

And when you see me Hobnobbin' on top of the town,

My emeralds weighin' me down,

You’ll cry,

«There goes baby!

Ain’t she flyin' high…»
