A Festa de Volta para Casa

The Coming Home Party

Eu costumava ser o primeiro a rirI used to be the first to laugh
Quando a Dona Jennings tomava banhoWhen Mrs. Jennings took a bath
E deixava a janela aberta pros vizinhosAnd left the window open for the neighbors
Mas se tivéssemos olhado, poderíamos ter vistoBut had we looked, we might have seen
Que ela era realmente muito limpaThat she was really very clean
E dado a ela o crédito pelo seu trabalhoAnd given her the credit of her labors

E o Sr. Jennings, onde estava ele?And Mr. Jennings, where was he?
O cara que pedimos pra verThe man that we had asked to see
E quem éramos nós pra achar que era engraçadoAnd who were we to think that it was funny
Quando, ao levantar o copo, ela disse que não tinha certezaWhen as she raised her glass she said she wasn't sure
Ele poderia estar morto, ou em algum lugar fazendo amor com todo o seu dinheiroHe might be dead, or somewhere making love to all his money

Ela prendeu a respiração expectanteShe held her breath expectantly
Enquanto todo mundo me encaravaWhile everybody stared at me
Quando me aproximei pra cumprimentar a Srta. Mary Blooming (oi)As I approached to greet Miss Mary Blooming (hello)
Eu puxei o nariz dela e beijei a pontaI tweaked her nose and kissed the tip
Limpei o pó do meu lábioI wiped the powder from my lip
E só porque eu fiz isso, ela ficou furiosaAnd just because I did, it left her fuming

Eu quase me entreguei quando o Capitão Graves veio dizerI almost gave myself away when Captain Graves came up to say
Feliz em me ver de volta e ele estava animadoGlad to see me home and he was tickled
E agora tenho certeza de que eu tinha desculpado a forma como costumava ser maltratadoAnd now I'm sure I had excused the way I used to be abused
Valeu a pena tudo pra ver ele animadoIt was worth it all to see him tickled

Ha, ha, ha, he he he, oohHa, ha, ha, he he he, ooh

A atmosfera estava pesada, o cara ao meu lado parecia doenteThe atmosphere was getting thick, the guy beside me looking sick
Eu teria ajudado, pelo menos achei que deveriaI would've helped, at least I thought I ought to
Ele me lançou um sorriso forçado, eu parei e absorvi a sensaçãoHe flashed me an appearing grin, I stopped and took the feeling in
Não tinha certeza, mas algo me disse pra não fazer issoI wasn't sure, but something told me not to

Eu sabia que não aguentaria muito mais, comecei a me dirigir pra portaI knew I couldn't take much more, I started making for the door
E ao passar pela minha acompanhante, deixei ela me beijarAnd as I passed my date, I let her kiss me
Peguei meu casaco e saíI grabbed my coat and stepped outside
Levantei o polegar pra pedir uma caronaI stuck my thumb out for a ride
Saindo sabendo que eles nunca sentiriam minha faltaDeparting knowing they would never miss me

(Boa noite, anjinhos, boa noite)(Nighty night, little angels, nighty night)
