[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional Song
[00:01.273] So, now I'm with the Invalids,
[00:04.427] And cannot go and fight, sir!
[00:07.005] The doctor told me so, you know,
[00:10.731] Of course it must be right, sir!
[00:13.898] I wanted much to go to war,
[00:16.199] And went to be examined;
[00:18.778] The surgeon looked me o'er and o'er,
[00:21.335] My back and chest he hammered.
[00:23.350] Said he, "You're not the man for me,
[00:25.931] Your lungs Are much affected,
[00:28.515] And likewise both your eyes are cock'd,
[00:30.812] And otherwise defected."
[00:33.402] So, now I'm with the Invalids,
[00:35.976] And cannot go and fight, sir!
[00:38.557] The doctor told me so, you know,
[00:41.136] Of course it must be right, sir!
[00:53.460] While I was there a host of chaps
[00:55.696] For reasons were exempted,
[00:58.496] Old "pursy", he was laid aside,
[01:00.738] To pass he had attempted.
[01:03.258] The doctor said, "I do not like
[01:05.787] Your corporosity, sir!
[01:08.304] You'll "breed a famine" in the camp
[01:10.549] Wherever you might be, sir!"
[01:13.072] So, now I'm with the Invalids,
[01:16.149] And cannot go and fight, sir!
[01:18.391] The doctor told me so, you know,
[01:20.918] Of course it must be right, sir!
[01:33.440] There came a fellow, mighty tall,
[01:35.958] A "knock-kneed overgrowner",
[01:38.475] The Doctor said, "I ain't got time
[01:40.990] To take and look you over."
[01:43.228] Next came along a little chap,
[01:45.744] Who was 'bout two foot nothing,
[01:48.269] The Doctor said, "You'd better go
[01:50.798] And tell your marm you're coming!"
[01:53.321] So, now I'm with the Invalids,
[01:55.839] And cannot go and fight, sir!
[01:58.369] The doctor told me so, you know,
[02:01.166] Of course it must be right, sir!
[02:03.692] Some had the ticerdolerreou,
[02:05.934] Some what they call "brown critters",
[02:08.732] And some were "lank and lazy" too,
[02:11.249] Some were too "fond of bitters".
[02:13.769] Some had "cork legs" and some "one eye",
[02:16.288] With backs deformed and crooked,
[02:18.808] I'll bet you'd laugh'd till you had cried,
[02:21.327] To see how "cute" they looked.
[02:23.850] So, now I'm with the Invalids,
[02:26.373] And cannot go and fight, sir!
[02:29.176] The doctor told me so, you know,
[02:31.980] Of course it must be right, sir!
[02:34.350] Yes, now I'm with the Invalids,
[02:36.873] And cannot go and fight, sir!
[02:39.976] The doctor told me so, you know,
[02:44.280] Of course it must be right, sir!
