《When I Was A Lad》歌词

[00:00:00] When I Was A Lad (当我还是个小伙子) - Henry A Lytton/George Baker

[00:00:13] When I was a lad I served a term

[00:00:15] As office boy to an Attorney's firm

[00:00:18] I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor

[00:00:20] I polished up the handle of the big front door

[00:00:22] He polished up the handle of the big front door

[00:00:24] I polished up that handle so carefully

[00:00:27] That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:00:29] He polished up that handle so carefully

[00:00:31] That now he is the ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:00:36] As office boy I made such a mark

[00:00:38] That they gave me the post of a junior clerk

[00:00:40] I served the writs with a smile so bland

[00:00:43] I copied all the letters in a big round hand

[00:00:45] He copied all the letters in a big round hand

[00:00:47] I copied all the letters in a hand so free

[00:00:50] That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:00:52] He copied all the letters in a hand so free

[00:00:54] That now he is the Ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:00:59] In serving writs I made such a name

[00:01:01] That an articled clerk I soon became

[00:01:03] I wore clean collars and a brand-new suit

[00:01:06] For the pass examination at the Institute

[00:01:08] For the pass examination at the Institute

[00:01:10] That pass examination did so well for me

[00:01:12] That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:01:15] That pass examination did so well for he

[00:01:17] That now he is the Ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:01:21] Of legal knowledge I acquired such a grip

[00:01:24] That they took me into the partnership

[00:01:26] And that junior partnership I ween

[00:01:28] Was the only ship I ever had seen

[00:01:30] Was the only ship he ever had seen

[00:01:33] That kind of ship so suited me

[00:01:35] That now I am the ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:01:37] That kind of ship so suited he

[00:01:39] That now he is the ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:01:44] I grew so rich that I was sent

[00:01:46] By a pocket borough into Parliament

[00:01:48] I always voted at my party's call

[00:01:50] I never thought of thinking for myself at all

[00:01:53] He never thought of thinking for himself at all

[00:01:55] I thought so little they rewarded me

[00:01:57] By making me the Ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:02:00] He thought so little they rewarded he

[00:02:02] By making him the Ruler of the Queen's Navee

[00:02:07] Now landsmen all whoever you may be

[00:02:09] If you want to rise to the top of the tree

[00:02:11] If your soul isn't fettered to an office stool

[00:02:13] Be careful to be guided by this golden rule

[00:02:16] Be careful to be guided by this golden rule

[00:02:19] Stick close to your desks and never go to sea

[00:02:23] And you all may be rulers of the Queen's Navee

[00:02:26] Stick close to your desks and never go to sea

[00:02:28] And you all may be rulers of the Queen's Navee
