《September Song》歌词

[00:00:00] September Song (From Knickerbocker Holiday) - Theodore Bikel

[00:00:00] When I was a young man courting the girls

[00:00:03] I played me a waiting game

[00:00:07] If a maid refused me with tossing curls

[00:00:10] I'd let the old Earth take a couple of whirls

[00:00:14] While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls

[00:00:18] And as time came around she came my way

[00:00:22] As time came around she came

[00:00:29] Oh it's a long long while

[00:00:34] From May to December

[00:00:38] And the days grow short

[00:00:42] When you reach September

[00:00:46] When the autumn weather

[00:00:50] Turns the leaves to flame

[00:00:54] One hasn't got time for the waiting game

[00:01:02] Oh the days dwindle

[00:01:04] Down to a precious few

[00:01:10] September November

[00:01:17] And these few precious days

[00:01:21] I'll spend with you

[00:01:25] These precious days I'll spend with you

[00:01:34] When you meet with the young man

[00:01:36] Early in the Spring

[00:01:38] They court you in song and rhyme

[00:01:41] They woo you with words and a clover ring

[00:01:44] But if you could examine the goods they bring

[00:01:48] They have little to offer

[00:01:50] But the songs they sing

[00:01:52] And the plentiful waste of time of day

[00:01:56] A plentiful waste of time

[00:02:18] When the autumn weather

[00:02:22] Turns the leaves to flame

[00:02:26] One hasn't got time

[00:02:30] For the waiting game

[00:02:35] Oh the days dwindle down

[00:02:39] To a precious few

[00:02:43] September

[00:02:47] November

[00:02:51] And these few golden days

[00:02:55] I'll spend with you

[00:02:59] These golden days

[00:03:02] I'll spend with you
