Necessary Evil
Louis Armstrong feat. Ella Fitzgerald
'Louis you're trouble… what's your problem Daddy?'
So I tried hard to be good, and do the things I should I give up everything that I enjoyed
But if you slip a bit and your heart says, 'this is it' That's a necessary evil, my boy
All my friends say I'm a fool and I won't break any rules Why all the saintly virtues I employ
But if the slightest fling makes your soul begin to sing That's a necessary evil, my boy
BRIDGE Well a man sometime has to sip a drink (I'm hip, I'm hip) And cast his eyes on a lovely shape (ahhh, you old rascal) Then sometimes a wager desires
If a man says he don't, he's not a man he's a liar
So don't let yourself be sad If what looks good is bad (ah-ha) Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Reach out accept the things that bring you joy (I will, so help me, I will)
And so you feel inclined, it will help to keep in mind Baby that's a necessary evil, mmm my boy
For a man sometime has to sip of the grape (a man drinks you know) Or cast his eye on a lovely shape (a man flirts) And then sometimes a wager desire (a man bets)
If a man says he don't, he's not a man he's a liar
So don't let yourself be sad If what looks good is bad I'll reach out accept the things that bring you joy
A man has got to live Even stealers make you give That's a necessary evil Absolutely necessary A necessary evil my boy
