[00:00.00] 作曲 : Costello
[00:01.00] 作词 : Costello
[00:13.18] Runnin' pell mell and harum scarum
[00:17.21]
[00:19.14] Runnin' as hot as
[00:20.52] They do or dare
[00:23.18]
[00:24.86] Stick out your tongue and
[00:26.33] Drink down all the venom
[00:29.23]
[00:30.83] Off cut throat cuthbert
[00:32.22] And Millicent St. Cyr
[00:35.15]
[00:36.59] From the real old Macau
[00:39.04]
[00:39.60] To the new False Americas
[00:42.47] In the liberated territories
[00:45.70] Unusual suspects shake down
[00:48.61] Shake down shake down
[00:51.18] Various dubious characters
[00:55.15]
[00:59.53] Mother's in the kitchen
[01:00.52] Pickin' bones for breakfast
[01:03.25]
[01:05.47] Boilin' them down by
[01:06.88] The bushel and the score
[01:09.05]
[01:11.47] Pull out your thumb and
[01:12.67] Count what's left on your fist
[01:15.84]
[01:17.36] There's a wolf at the window
[01:18.83] With a ravenin' maw
[01:20.71]
[01:23.27] Did you find how to lie
[01:26.01] Did you find out how to cheat
[01:29.14] The elite bleat their obsolete
[01:31.68]
[01:32.25] So are your prospects
[01:34.48] Exact perfect object
[01:37.17]
[01:37.89] Now if you'd only genuflect
[01:40.91] They're runnin' wild just like some
[01:45.12] Childish tantrum
[01:48.22] Meanwhile we're workin' every day
[01:51.93] Payin' off the National Ransom
[01:55.95]
[02:05.88] Woe betide all this hocus pocus
[02:09.69]
[02:11.77] They're runnin' us ragged
[02:13.29] At their first attempt
[02:14.93]
[02:17.80] Around the time the killin'
[02:19.90] Stopped on Wall St.
[02:22.53]
[02:23.30] You couldn't hold me baby
[02:24.84] With anythin' but contempt
[02:28.04]
[02:29.48] Letters peal slowly from our speech
[02:31.94]
[02:32.67] The claxton attempts to preach
[02:35.04]
[02:35.72] Stretchin' out for stars
[02:37.52] Still out of reach
[02:38.88] Drownin' flailin' outside
[02:41.91]
[02:42.50] Someone's wailin'
[02:45.62] They're runnin' wild just like some
[02:49.75] Childish tantrum
[02:52.80] Meanwhile we're workin' every day
[02:56.48] Payin' off the National Ransom
[03:00.09]
[03:03.62] They're runnin' wild just like some
[03:07.75] Childish tantrum
[03:10.82] Meanwhile we're workin' every day
[03:14.26]
[03:14.79] Payin' off the National Ransom
