[00:00.000] 作曲 : Joe Hill
[00:00.583][Chorus]
[00:01.153] Oh, Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
[00:03.432] You take the cake,
[00:05.139] You make me ache,
[00:06.283] GO Tie a rock on your block
[00:08.276] and go jump in the lake,
[00:09.978] Kindly do that for Liberty's sake.
[00:12.531]
[00:13.673] Now that you can go "Whaa" or y'know whatever you want
[00:17.944][Utah makes a fart noise] whatever nice gross sound you feel like making you can flatulate.
[00:23.920] Well, let's practice that chorus "Oh Mr. Block you were..."
[00:26.401]Isn't it wonderful poetry I mean [?] would blush
[00:31.369] "Oh, Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
[00:33.050] You take the cake,
[00:34.172] You make me ache,
[00:35.575] O Tie a rock on your block
[00:36.700] and then jump in the lake,
[00:38.108] Kindly do that for Liberty's sake."
[00:40.633][Chorus]
[00:41.477] Oh, Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
[00:44.281] You take the cake,
[00:46.535] You make me ache,
[00:47.662] GO Tie a rock on your block
[00:49.342] and go jump in the lake,
[00:51.308] Kindly do that for Liberty's sake. (Whaa)
[00:59.450] Yeah and what I hear in here and maybe John do you hear this
[01:01.975] Um, "Oh, Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,"
[01:03.376][Utah does a circus march theme]
[01:04.783] "You take the cake,"
[01:05.346][Utah does a circus march theme]
[01:07.313] Maybe, never thought of it
[01:10.119] kazoos
[01:10.680]
[01:13.493] Please give me your attention, I'll introduce to you
[01:16.301] A man that is a credit to "Our Red, White and Blue";
[01:19.663] His head is made of lumber, and solid as a rock;
[01:22.752] He is a common worker and his name is Mr. Block.
[01:27.523] And Block he thinks he may
[01:29.486] Be President some day.
[01:32.291][Chorus]
[01:33.411] Oh, Mr. Block, you were born by mistake, (ba da da)
[01:36.504] You take the cake, (ba da da)
[01:38.476] You make me ache,
[01:40.440] GO Tie a rock on your block
[01:42.406] and go jump in the lake,
[01:44.085] Kindly do that for Liberty's sake. (whaa)
[01:47.734]
[01:49.983] Yes, Mr. Block is lucky; he found a job, by gee!
[01:53.072] The Shark got seven dollars, for job and fare and fee.
[01:56.657] They shipped him to a desert
[01:57.995] and dumped him with his truck,
[01:59.679] But when he tried to find his job,
[02:01.644] he sure was out of luck.
[02:03.325] He shouted, "That's too raw,
[02:05.575] I'll fix them with the law."
[02:07.825][Chorus]
[02:09.234] Oh, Mr. Block, you were born by mistake, (ba da da)
[02:12.321] You take the cake, (ba da da)
[02:14.572] You make me ache,
[02:16.253] Go Tie a rock on your block
[02:17.939] and go jump in the lake,
[02:19.902] Kindly do that for Liberty's sake. (fart noises)
[02:23.554]
[02:25.238] O Block hiked back to the city, but he wasn't doing well.
[02:28.330] He said, "I'll join the union-the great A.F. of L."
[02:31.698] He got a job next morning, got fired in the night,
[02:34.785] He said, "I'll see McDurmon
[02:36.748] and he'll fix that foreman right
[02:40.400] McDurmon said, "You see,
[02:42.847] You've got our sympathy."
[02:45.935][Chorus]
[02:47.334] Oh, Mr. Block, you were born by mistake, (ba da da)
[02:50.697] You take the cake, (ba da da)
[02:52.945] You make me ache,
[02:54.063] GO Tie a rock on your block
[02:56.027] and go jump in the lake,
[02:57.995] Kindly do that for Liberty's sake. (whaa)
[03:01.361]
[03:03.609] Election day he shouted, "A Socialist for Mayor!"
[03:05.856] The "comrade" got elected, he happy was for fair,
[03:08.946] But after the election he got an awful shock:
[03:12.310] A great big Socialistic Bull did rap him on the block
[03:15.956] And Comrade Block did sob.
[03:19.038] "I helped him get his job."
[03:21.821][Chorus]
[03:22.664] Oh, Mr. Block, you were born by mistake, (ba da da)

[03:31.366] and go jump in the lake,
[03:33.328] Kindly do that for Liberty's sake. (whaaa & fart noises)
[03:36.698]
[03:37.471] Poor Block, he died one evening, I'm very glad to state:
[03:41.398] He climbed the golden ladder up to the pearly gate.
[03:44.199] He said, "Oh, Mr. Peter, one word I'd like to tell:
[03:47.280] I'd like to meet the Astorbilts and John D. Rockefell."
[03:52.328] Old Pete said, "Is that so?
[03:54.576] You'll meet them down below."
[03:58.499][Chorus]
[03:58.781] Oh, Mr. Block, you were born by mistake,
[04:01.873] You take the cake, (ba da da)
