《Jerry Was A Clerk》歌词

[00:00:01] Me and a couple friends we had a big idea

[00:00:03] About getting money and getting out of here

[00:00:06] We were wide-eyed dreamers of wealth

[00:00:13] We were getting tired of killing time

[00:00:16] Filling up our heads with cheap wine

[00:00:18] Jerry had a van so we could make our escape

[00:00:23] He would say 'boys our time

[00:00:26] Has come to live among the privileged ones'

[00:00:49] Now it was jerry's plan but we all agreed

[00:00:51] Skip town and split the money up evenly

[00:00:54] Lay low 'til the winter rolled in

[00:01:01] He said "i know an old farmer

[00:01:02] Doesn't trust the bank

[00:01:03] Keeps his money buried out

[00:01:05] Behind his water tank

[00:01:06] He told me once when

[00:01:08] He was out of his mind"

[00:01:11] 'Oh boys our time has come to

[00:01:18] Live among the privileged ones'

[00:01:37] Now jerry had a girl the only one of us

[00:01:40] To ever have one last

[00:01:41] And so no questions asked

[00:01:43] She'd be the fourth one involved

[00:01:48] Her name was mary-anne

[00:01:50] And she was nice enough

[00:01:51] Always a cashier only once in love

[00:01:55] With jerry - the dreamer and the clerk

[00:01:59] Who said 'boys our time has

[00:02:03] Come to live among the privileged ones'

[00:02:36] So on that friday night on

[00:02:38] Which we all agreed

[00:02:39] We took our shovels

[00:02:40] And crept out carefully

[00:02:42] Through the farmyard darker than sin

[00:02:49] The plan went off without a hitch

[00:02:51] 'Til we passed the chicken

[00:02:53] Coop and mary tripped

[00:02:54] Turned the hens to sirens in the night

[00:03:00] And when the farmhouse lights turned on

[00:03:06] A warning shot rang out into the dawn

[00:03:18] And we ran like hell for jerry's van

[00:03:24] But when we arrived we were only three

[00:03:30] And while jerry's greed fed gas to the engine

[00:03:36] His words showed us a coward we'd never seen

[00:03:41] As he said "boys our time has come

[00:03:48] We're going to save ourselves and

[00:03:50] Live among the privileged ones "
