Lyrics A Little Learnin' Is a Dangerous Thing 1 - Frank Sinatra

Hey, Pearl, what's bugging you, girl
Too much knowledge, Frank, too much knowledge
Explain it to me
Well, it was down at school at the age of six
One of the real quiz kids
Yeah, so did reason and lightning touch
Usual thought
As time went on, I studied lots of, oh, the other things
Uh huh, like a
No, most of them didn't hurt much
Well, I've had other teachers
Well I got my diploma, I was real real smart
That's a pretty frame, huh
Of my knowledge there was no doubt
That's pretty obvious
Yeah but lately I've had the same, like in your words too
It wasn't even a thought, let me tell you what I found out now
Look at the size of my ears, pour it on
You know it started with a man
Uh huh
And the man he was grand
Ain't that the truth
He had a lie that would make a bird sing
This kid really came on, I can see that
'Cause you were much too smart to be afraid at the start
Frank, a little learnin' is a dangerous thing
Well, I'd like to hear some more
As first he only wanted two
Two
Then he changed it to few
Oh, you mean loot
I even loaned that man my watch and my ring
Oh, you lost your head, Pearl, completely
'Cause you were hip to the fact that he would pay you right back
Yep, a little learning is a dangerous thing
Uh huh,yes, with his sweetheart, his so discreet heart
Oh Frank, he had me doing things that I shouldn't do
That cad, ain't no denying, so sense in trying
Let me tell you it is just as bad
My education's been like some book
Bet you had an encyclopedia
Yet now I know the score at last
So I'm happy for you
I'm an gal with a past that left my head hot and perched in a sling
You mean you got yourself in hock
Yes, it's understood that brother gypped me but good
A little learning (a little learning) can be a dangerous thing
Yeah girl that's the kind of stuff you gotta watch out for
Oh makes me so nervous
That's right, it shakes you up
Never stop
