[00:00.00] 作曲 : P. SIMON
[00:01.00] 作词 : Simon
[00:14.76] A long time ago, yeah, before you was born, dude
[00:18.94] When I was still single and life was great
[00:22.91] I held this job as a traveling salesman
[00:27.34] That kept me moving from state to state
[00:30.53]
[00:32.18] Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
[00:34.33] State of Louisiana
[00:36.39] Wondering where a city boy could go
[00:40.58] To get a little conversation
[00:42.68] Drink a little red wine
[00:44.72] Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
[00:46.88] Dancing to Zydeco
[00:48.37]
[01:13.84] Along come a young girl, she's pretty as a prayer book
[01:17.84] Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
[01:22.50] I said good gracious can this be my luck
[01:26.14] If that's my prayer book, Lord let us pray
[01:30.44]
[01:31.23] Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
[01:33.26] State of Louisiana
[01:35.32] Wondering where a city boy could do
[01:39.42] To get her in a conversation
[01:41.30] Maybe drink a little red wine
[01:43.65] Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier
[01:45.72] The King of the Bayou
[01:48.24]
[01:55.86] Well, that was your mother and that was your father
[01:59.65] Before you was born, dude, when life was great
[02:03.74] You are the burden of my generation
[02:08.20] I sure do love you, well let's get that straight
[02:11.54]
[02:13.60] Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
[02:15.90] Across the street from The Public
[02:17.14] Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
[02:21.33] Maybe get a little conversation
[02:23.41] Drink a little red wine
[02:25.51] Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
[02:27.61] Dancing the night away
