《Dear Mr. President》歌词

[00:00:00] Dear Mr. President (亲爱的总统先生) - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)
[00:00:09] Dear Mr President I set me down
[00:00:11] To send you greetings from my home town
[00:00:13] And send you best wishes
[00:00:14] From all the friends I know
[00:00:16] In Texas Alabama Ohio
[00:00:18] And affiliated places
[00:00:21] I'm an ordinary guy worked most of my life
[00:00:23] Sometime I'll settle down with my kids and wife
[00:00:25] And I like to see a movie or take a little drink
[00:00:27] I like being free to say what I think
[00:00:29] Sort of runs in the family
[00:00:31] My grandpa crossed the ocean
[00:00:33] For the same reason
[00:00:36] Now I hate Hitler and I can tell you why
[00:00:38] He's caused lots of good
[00:00:39] Folks to suffer and die
[00:00:40] He's got a way of shoving folks around
[00:00:42] I figure it's about time we
[00:00:43] Slapped him down
[00:00:44] Give him a dose of his own medicine
[00:00:47] Lead poisoning
[00:00:50] Now Mr President
[00:00:51] We haven't always agreed in the past I know
[00:00:54] But that ain't at all important now
[00:00:56] What is important is what we got to do
[00:00:57] We got to lick Mr Hitler and until we do
[00:01:00] Other things can wait
[00:01:02] In other words first we got a skunk to skin
[00:01:07] War means overtime and higher prices
[00:01:09] But we're all willing to make sacrifices
[00:01:10] Hell I'd even stop fighting
[00:01:12] With my mother in law
[00:01:13] Cause we need her too
[00:01:14] To win the war old battle ax
[00:01:18] Now as I think of our great land
[00:01:20] Of the cities and towns and farming land
[00:01:21] There's so many good people
[00:01:23] Working every day
[00:01:24] I know it ain't perfect but it
[00:01:25] Will be some day
[00:01:26] Just give us a little time
[00:01:28] This is the reason that I want to fight
[00:01:30] Not because every thing's
[00:01:31] Perfect or every thing's right
[00:01:32] No it's just the opposite
[00:01:34] I'm fighting because I want
[00:01:35] A better America with better laws
[00:01:37] And better homes and jobs and schools
[00:01:39] And no more Jim Crow and no more rules
[00:01:41] Like you can't ride on this train
[00:01:44] Cause you're a Negro
[00:01:46] You can't live here cause you're a Jew
[00:01:49] You can't work here cause you're a union man
[00:01:52] There's a line keeps running
[00:01:54] Through my head
[00:01:55] I think it was something Joe Louis once said
[00:01:57] Said There's lots of things wrong
[00:01:59] But Hitler won't help them
[00:02:02] Now Mr President
[00:02:04] You're commander in chief of our armed forces
[00:02:06] Ships and planes and the tanks and horses
[00:02:08] I guess you know best just where I can fight
[00:02:11] All I want to be is situated right
[00:02:12] To do the most damage
[00:02:15] I never was one to try and shirk
[00:02:17] And let the other fellow do all the work
[00:02:19] So when the time comes I'll be on hand
[00:02:21] And make good use of these two hands
[00:02:24] Quit playing this banjo around with the boys
[00:02:25] And exchange it for something
[00:02:27] That makes more noise
[00:02:30] So Mr President
[00:02:32] We've got this one big job to do
[00:02:34] That's lick Mr Hitler and when we're through
[00:02:36] Let no one else ever take his place
[00:02:38] To trample down the human race
[00:02:41] So what I want is you to give me a gun
[00:02:43] So we can hurry up and get the job done
