Six-Fingered Man
(original)
Six-Fingered Man
Playing a seven-string guitar
There are Seven Deadly Sins
Any one of them can do you in
Take what you lost from what you win
It’s never enough
Six-Fingered Man
Always the first to blow his horn
His achievements multiply
Pity half of them seem to be lies
Always helps to advertise
It’s never enough
He seems so satisfied
With a reputation to protect
Unless he thinks that you’re more qualified
Gets so much of his own affection
Stares for hours at his reflection
Long-legged gal walking a very tiny man
They say that it should be forbidden
Must be something he has hidden
Take what you want from what you’re given
Oh, it’s never enough
Six-Fingered Man
Shaking his fist at everyone
Couldn’t even act his age
If you put him on a stage
You might say he’s all the rage
But it’s never enough
Getting his prints on everything
He’s got semi-precious gems
Glinting in his signet ring
Needs his fingers and his thumbs
To help him calculate his sums
Six-Fingered Man
Can’t be bothered to stir himself
Sleeps the whole day long or more
Dreams of someone he adores
Drains one drink and starts to pour
Oh, it’s never enough
Oh, it’s never enough
Oh, it’s never enough
Six-Fingered
Man Alive!
How’d I ever get along with five?
(traducción)
Hombre de seis dedos
Tocar una guitarra de siete cuerdas
Hay Siete Pecados Capitales
Cualquiera de ellos puede hacerte en
Toma lo que perdiste de lo que ganas
Nunca es suficiente
Hombre de seis dedos
Siempre el primero en tocar la bocina
Sus logros se multiplican
Lástima que la mitad de ellos parecen ser mentiras
Siempre ayuda a anunciar
Nunca es suficiente
parece tan satisfecho
Con una reputación que proteger
A menos que él piense que estás más calificado
Recibe tanto de su propio afecto
Mira durante horas su reflejo
Chica de piernas largas paseando a un hombre muy pequeño
