The Boys From Syracuse movie - Come with me lyrics

rate me

<br>

Come with me <br>

Where the food is free <br>

Where the landlord never comes near you <br>

Be a guest in a house of rest <br>

Where the best of fellows can cheer you. <br>

There's your own little room <br>

So cool, not too much light <br>

Where you're one man for whom <br>

No wife waits up at night <br>

When day enda <br>

You have lots of friends <br>

Who will guard you well while you slumber <br>

Safe from battle and stife <br>

Safe from the wind and gale <br>

Come with me to jail <br>

<br>

You'll never have to fetch the milk <br>

Or walk the dog at early dawn <br>

There's no -"Get up- you're late for work!" <br>

While you rest in the pearly dawn <br>

You're never bored by politics <br>

You're privileged to miss a row <br>

Of tragedies by Sophocles <br>

And diatribes by Cicero <br>

Your brother's wife will never come <br>

On sunday noon to bring to you <br>

Her little son who plays the lute, <br>

Her little girl to sing to you <br>

You can commit you little "sin" <br>

And relatives won't yel "Fie!" <br>

You needn't take the annual trip <br>

To the oracle at Delphi <br>

You snore and swear and strech and yawn <br>

In this, your strictly male house <br>

The only way that sinners go to Heaven <br>

Is in the jailhouse!<br>

<br>
