《Three Brothers》歌词

[00:00:00] Three Brothers - Joyce Grenfell

[00:00:03] I had three brothers

[00:00:06] Harold and Robert and James

[00:00:09] All of them tall and handsome

[00:00:13] All of them good at games

[00:00:16] And I was allowed to field for them

[00:00:18] To bowl to them to score

[00:00:20] I was allowed to slave for them

[00:00:22] For ever and evermore

[00:00:25] Oh I was allowed to fetch and carry

[00:00:29] For my three brothers

[00:00:33] Jim and Bob and Harry

[00:00:40] All of my brothers

[00:00:43] Harry and Jim and Bob

[00:00:45] Grew to be good and clever

[00:00:48] Each of them at his job

[00:00:52] And I was allowed to wait on them

[00:00:54] To be their slave complete

[00:00:56] I was allowed to work for them

[00:00:58] And life for me was sweet

[00:01:02] For I was allowed to fetch and carry

[00:01:05] For my three brothers

[00:01:09] Jim and Bob and Harry

[00:01:16] Jim went out to South Africa

[00:01:19] Bob went out to Ceylon

[00:01:21] Harry went out to New Zealand

[00:01:24] And settled in Wellington

[00:01:26] And the grass grew high on the cricket pitch

[00:01:30] And the tennis court went to hay

[00:01:34] And the place was too big and too silent

[00:01:38] After they went away

[00:01:41] So I turned it into a guest house

[00:01:44] After our parents died

[00:01:47] And I wrote to the boys every Sunday

[00:01:50] And once a year they replied

[00:01:53] All of them married eventually

[00:01:57] I wrote to their wives of course

[00:02:00] Their wives wrote back on postcards

[00:02:05] Well it might to been very much worse

[00:02:08] And now I have nine nieces

[00:02:12] Most of them home at school

[00:02:15] I have them all to stay here

[00:02:18] For the holidays as a rule

[00:02:22] And I am allowed to week a them

[00:02:24] To do odd jobs galore

[00:02:26] I am allowed to slave for them

[00:02:28] And life is sweet once more

[00:02:32] For I am allowed to fetch and carry

[00:02:36] For the children of Jim and Bob and Harry
