《Brimstone and Treacle》歌词

[00:00:00] Brimstone and Treacle - 群星

[00:00:00] These children have been spoiled

[00:00:02] I've arrived here just in time

[00:00:05] By chance I've brought the punishment

[00:00:09] That best befits the crime

[00:00:16] Brimstone and treacle

[00:00:18] And cod liver oil

[00:00:20] Liberal doses of each

[00:00:24] These are the treats from which children recoil

[00:00:28] The lessons I'm going to teach

[00:00:32] Just follow my model

[00:00:34] And don't molly coddle

[00:00:36] It may lead the irksome to irk

[00:00:40] So seek satisfaction

[00:00:43] From punitive action

[00:00:46] Brimstone and treacle will work

[00:00:49] Open

[00:00:50] Does it taste as bad as it smells

[00:00:52] Worse

[00:00:53] Do I have to

[00:00:54] Open

[00:00:56] Brimstone and treacle and carbolic soap

[00:01:00] These are the tools of my trade

[00:01:04] With spoonfulls of sugar you don't have a hope

[00:01:09] Of seeing that changes are made

[00:01:13] Where manners are chronic

[00:01:15] My tincture's the tonic

[00:01:17] That's certain to wipe off a smirk

[00:01:21] Just pour out a ration

[00:01:23] In matronly fashion

[00:01:28] Brimstone and treacle will work

[00:01:32] I won't stand for simpering whingeing and whimpering

[00:01:36] Sucking of thumbs is absurd

[00:01:40] Observe every letter

[00:01:41] For children are better

[00:01:44] When they can be seen and not heard

[00:01:54] Your son will go to boarding school at once

[00:01:57] As for the girl I shall take charge of her myself

[00:02:02] To cosset and pamper

[00:02:04] Will hinder and hamper

[00:02:05] The child in whom bad habits lurk

[00:02:10] First threaten to throttle

[00:02:12] Then uncork the bottle

[00:02:18] Brimstone and treacle will work

[00:02:24] Brimstone and treacle will work
