《The Irish Ballad》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Ballad - Tom Lehrer

[00:00:07] About a maid I'll sing a song

[00:00:09] Sing rickety-tickety-tin

[00:00:11] About a maid I'll sing a song

[00:00:14] Who didn't have her family long

[00:00:16] Not only did she do them wrong

[00:00:20] She did every one of them in

[00:00:22] Them in

[00:00:23] She did every one of them in

[00:00:27] One morning in a fit of pique

[00:00:29] Sing rickety-tickety-tin

[00:00:32] One morning in a fit of pique

[00:00:34] She drowned her father in the creek

[00:00:36] The water tasted bad for a week

[00:00:40] And we had to make do with gin

[00:00:42] With gin

[00:00:44] We had to make do with gin

[00:00:47] Her mother she could never stand

[00:00:49] Sing rickety-tickety-tin

[00:00:52] Her mother she could never stand

[00:00:54] And so a cyanide soup she planned

[00:00:57] Her mother died with a spoon in her hand

[00:01:00] And her face in a hideous grin

[00:01:04] A grin

[00:01:05] Her face in a hideous grin

[00:01:09] She set her sister's hair on fire

[00:01:11] Rickety-tickety-tin

[00:01:13] She set her sister's hair on fire

[00:01:15] And as the smoke and flame rose higher

[00:01:18] Danced around the funeral pyre

[00:01:22] Playin' a violin

[00:01:24] 'Olin

[00:01:26] Playin' a violin

[00:01:29] She weighted her brother down with stones

[00:01:31] Rickety-tickety-tin

[00:01:33] She weighted her brother down with stones

[00:01:35] And sent him off to Davy Jones

[00:01:36] All they ever found were some bones

[00:01:41] And the occasional pieces of skin

[00:01:45] Of skin

[00:01:46] Occasional pieces of skin

[00:01:49] One day when she had nothing to do

[00:01:52] Rickety-tickety-tin

[00:01:54] One day when she had nothing to do

[00:01:56] She cut her baby brother in two

[00:01:58] And served him up as an Irish stew

[00:02:02] And invited the neighbors in

[00:02:05] 'Bors in

[00:02:06] Invited the neighbors in

[00:02:09] And when at last the police came by

[00:02:11] Rickety-tickety-tin

[00:02:14] And when at last the police came by

[00:02:16] Her little pranks she did not deny

[00:02:18] To do so she would have had to lie

[00:02:22] And lying she knew was a sin

[00:02:25] A sin

[00:02:26] Lying she knew was a sin

[00:02:30] My tragic tale I won't prolong

[00:02:32] Rickety-tickety-tin

[00:02:33] My tragic tale I won't prolong

[00:02:35] And if you do not enjoy my song

[00:02:37] You've yourselves to blame if it's too long

[00:02:40] You should never have let me begin

[00:02:43] Begin

[00:02:44] You should never have let me begin
