《Two Little Babes in the Wood》歌词

[00:00:00] Two Little Babes in the Wood - Cole Porter

[00:00:16] There's a tale of two little orphans

[00:00:21] Who were left in their uncle's care

[00:00:24] To be reared and ruled and properly schooled

[00:00:28] Till they grew to be ladies fair

[00:00:32] But oh the luckless pair

[00:00:36] For the uncle he was a cruel trustee

[00:00:40] And he longed to possess their gold

[00:00:44] So he led them hence to a forest dense

[00:00:48] Where he left them to die of cold

[00:00:53] That at least is what we're told

[00:00:59] They were two little babes in the wood

[00:01:07] Two little babes oh so good

[00:01:13] Two little hearts two little heads

[00:01:20] Longed to be home in their two little beds

[00:01:27] So two little birds built a nest

[00:01:31] Where the two little babes went to rest

[00:01:38] While the breeze hovering nigh

[00:01:42] Sang a last lullaby

[00:01:46] To the two little babes in the wood

[00:01:55] They were lying there in the freezing air

[00:01:58] When fortunately there appeared

[00:02:01] A rich old man in a big sedan

[00:02:03] And a very very fancy beard

[00:02:06] He saw those girls and cheered

[00:02:08] Then he drove them down to new york town

[00:02:11] Where he covered them with useful things

[00:02:13] Such as bonds and stocks and paris frocks

[00:02:15] And oriental pearls in strings

[00:02:18] And a showcase full of rings

[00:02:24] Now those two little babes in the wood

[00:02:31] Are the talk of the whole neighbourhood

[00:02:37] For they've too many cars too many clothes

[00:02:43] Too many parties and too many beaus

[00:02:48] They have found that the fountain of youth

[00:02:54] Is a mixture of gin and vermouth

[00:02:59] And the whole town's agreed

[00:03:02] That the last thing in speed

[00:03:05] Is the two little babes in the wood
