Frequently wrong but never in doubt

Frequentemente errado, mas nunca em dúvida

Frequently wrong but never in doubt

Eu me lembro quando o George vinha na nossa casaI remember when George used to come to our house
Pra uma reunião de um dos seus clubesFor a meeting of one of his clubs
Ele costumava dirigir até aquiHe would often drive down
Porque morávamos perto da cidade`Cause we lived close to town
Onde o pulso dos grandes negócios estavaWhere the pulse of the big business was

Ele pertencia ao clube de iates, aos caminhoneiros, aos shrinersHe belonged to the yacht club, the truckers, the shriners
Embora não tivesse barco nem equipamentoThough he had no boat and no rig
Ainda assim, ele comia jantares de carne assadaStill he'd eat roast beef dinners
E se misturava com os vencedoresAnd hob-nob with winners
E esperava até pegar algo grandeAnd wait till he hit something big

Mas antes que ele conseguisse fisgar aquele grande peixeBut before he could get that big fish on the line
Deixaram todo mundo entrar e estragaram o ShrineThey let everyone in and ruined the Shrine
E ele se irritava fácil e era propenso a gritarAnd he was easily riled and likely to shout
Frequentemente errado, mas nunca em dúvidaFrequently wrong but never in doubt

Seus amigos o chamavam de skippyHis friends called him skippy
Mas ele não tinha famíliaBut he had no family
Até que os parentes da minha mãe o acolheramTill my mother's folks took him in
Um garoto loiro e onduladoJust a short blond and wavy
Do marinhaBoy from the navy
E ele nunca mais saiu de casaAnd he never left home again

Como ele casou com a Agnes, ah, eu nunca vou saberHow he married Agnes oh I'll never know
Ela era gentil e delicadaShe was gracious and gentle
E o amava tantoAnd she loved him so
E ele era grandioso aos olhos delaAnd he was grand in her eyes
Quando saíam juntosWhen they would go out
E frequentemente errado, mas nunca em dúvidaAnd frequently wrong but never in doubt

E eu acho que ele se divertia muitoAnd I guess he had a big time
Compartilhando o símbolo secretoSharing the secret symbol
Com os mestres eleitos da noiteWith masters elect of the night
Lá no templo BoumiDown at the Boumi temple

Bem, eu acho que ele era loucoWell I guess he was crazy
Acho que ele se sentia sozinhoI think he was lonely
Minha mãe era sua melhor amigaMy mother was his best friend
Ele gritou e chorouHe hollered and cried
No dia em que ela morreuThe day that she died
E eu raramente o vi de novoAnd I rarely saw him again

E eu acho que eu esqueci desde que era criançaAnd I guess I've forgotten since I was a kid
Não sei por que o amávamos, só sei que amávamosI don't know why we loved him I just know we did
E ele se irritava fácil, era propenso a gritarAnd he was easily riled, likely to shout
Frequentemente errado, mas nunca em dúvidaFrequently wrong but never in doubt
