然而,我並不喜歡原唱Ella 的版本,我必須說如果我最先聽到這首歌是她唱的話,那我可能完全不會去注意這首歌,她並不像Blossom 一般,使用平鋪直述的方式唱這首歌,而是轉來轉去的方式,總讓我覺得不夠自然,有點刻意且造作,不符合這首歌的角色及氣氛(但我還是很喜歡她)。然而Blossom 雖然並沒有太多的技巧,但這反而是優勢,自然而不扭捏,聽她唱著歌詞時活靈活現得彷彿能看的到那個古靈精怪的女子就在那兒,Blossom總是能輕易的把詼諧與幽默融入歌曲之中。
歌詞的部分很值得一看,真的相當有趣,這首歌除了首張同名專輯Blossom Dearie有收錄,另外Blossom Time at Ronnie Scott's這張現場LIVE錄音也有收錄,都是不錯的選擇。
歌詞如下:
Everything I've got (Richard RodgersLorenz Hart.)
Don't stamp your foot at me,
It's impolite
To stamp your foot at me
Is not quite right.
At man's ingratitude
A woman winks,
But such an attitude just stinks.
REFRAIN 1
I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks.
I have words that do not come from children's books
there's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do
And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.
I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist,
And the perfect wrist to give your neck atwist.
There are hammerlock holds,
I've mastered a few,
And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.
Share for share, share alike,
You get struck each time I strike.
You for me- me for me-
I'll give you plenty of nothing.
I'm not yours for better but for worse,
And I've learned to give the well-known witches' curse.
I've a terrible tongue, a temper for two,
And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.
VERSE 2
Don't raise your voice at me,
That's very rude.
To raise your voice at me
Is rather crude.
It's wrong essentially when woman yells,
And confidentially, it smells.
REFRAIN 2
I'll converse with you on politics at length,
I'll protect you with my superhuman strength.
If you're ever attacked I'll scream and say , "Boo!''
And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.
I will never stray from home, I'll just stay put,
'Cause I've got a brand-new thing called athlete' s foot.
I'm a victim of colds, anemia, too,
And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.
Off to bed we will creep,
Then we'll sleep and sleep and sleep
Till the birds start to peep.
I'll give you plenty of nothing.
I'll be yours forever and a day
If the first good breeze does not blow me away.
You're enough for one man, that's why I'll be true,
And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.
ENCORE
You may have some things that I can't use at all.
When I look at you, your manly gifts are small.
I've a wonderful way of saying adieu,
And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.
You won't know how good I am until you try
And you'll let my well of loneliness run dry.
I've a marvelous way of telling you no,
And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.
And ev'rything you want belongs to me!
And ev' rything you need belongs to me!
REPRISE
VERSE
Life has no shape or form
And no design.
It isn't life without
That fool of mine.
I used to gad about
With any chap
And now I'm sad about my sap.
REFRAIN
He's a living thing that isn't quite alive,
He has brains enough for any child of five.
Oh, he isn't too rich in vigor and vim,
But ev'rything I've got belongs to him.
He's a naughty brat that can't be left alone.
He has eyes for ev'ry skirt except my own.
Even under a tree, he grabs for the limb,
But ev'rything I've got belongs to him.
Something beats in his chest,
But it's just a pump at best.
I'm for him, he's for him.
He gives me plenty of nothing.
When I see that funny face, I know
Something scared his mother twenty years ago.
But I'll never let go, he'll never be free!
Till ev'rything he's got belongs to me!
CODA
And ev'rything I've got belongs to him!
And ev'rything I've got belongs to us!
我在這裡放上的是完整版的歌詞,但實際上Blossom唱的僅有那小小的一段,也就是大概是以黑字部分為主,其餘沒唱的部分皆以灰色字顯示,我記得有個一句還兩句是從黑色部分抽出來的,但是,基本上也只有那一句,所以我只有把她確實唱完的部分標黑。
