《The Babbitt And The Bromide》歌词

[00:00:00] The Babbitt and the Bromide - George Gershwin (乔治·格什文)

[00:00:03] A babbitt met a bromide on the avenue one day

[00:00:07] And held a conversation in their own peculiar way;

[00:00:12] They both were solid citizens

[00:00:14] They both had been around

[00:00:16] And as they spoke you clearly saw

[00:00:17] Their feet were on the ground

[00:00:21] Hello

[00:00:22] How are you

[00:00:23] How's the folks

[00:00:24] What's new

[00:00:25] I'm great

[00:00:25] That's good

[00:00:26] Huh huh

[00:00:27] Touch wood

[00:00:28] Well well

[00:00:29] That's life

[00:00:30] What's new

[00:00:30] How's the wife

[00:00:31] Got to run

[00:00:32] Oh my

[00:00:33] Ta ta

[00:00:34] Olive oil

[00:00:34] Goodbye

[00:01:08] Ten years went quickly by for both

[00:01:09] These subste antial men

[00:01:11] And then it happened that one day

[00:01:13] They chanced to meet again

[00:01:17] That they had both developed in ten years

[00:01:19] There was no doubt

[00:01:20] And so of course they had

[00:01:22] An awful lot to talk about

[00:01:28] Hello

[00:01:28] How are you

[00:01:29] How's the folks

[00:01:30] What's new

[00:01:31] I'm great

[00:01:32] That's good

[00:01:33] Huh huh

[00:01:34] Touch wood

[00:01:35] Well well

[00:01:35] That's life

[00:01:36] What's new

[00:01:37] How's the wife

[00:01:38] Got to run

[00:01:39] Oh my

[00:01:40] Ta ta

[00:01:41] Olive oil

[00:01:41] Goodbye

[00:02:45] Before they met again

[00:02:46] Some twenty years they had to wait;

[00:02:48] This time it happened up above

[00:02:50] Inside Saint Peter's gate

[00:02:54] A harp each one was carrying

[00:02:56] And both were wearing wings

[00:02:57] And this is what they said

[00:02:59] As they were strumming on the strings;

[00:03:05] Hello

[00:03:06] How are you

[00:03:07] How's the folks

[00:03:08] What's new

[00:03:09] I'm great

[00:03:09] That's good

[00:03:10] Huh huh

[00:03:11] Touch wood

[00:03:12] Well well

[00:03:13] That's life

[00:03:14] What's new

[00:03:15] How's the wife

[00:03:16] Got to run

[00:03:17] Oh my

[00:03:18] Ta ta

[00:03:18] Olive oil

[00:03:19] Goodbye
