《Clementine》歌词

[00:00:00] Clementine - Tom Lehrer
[00:00:00] I should like to consider the folk song
[00:00:02] And expound briefly on a theory I have held
[00:00:04] For some time to the effect that the reason
[00:00:07] Most folk songs are so atrocious is that they
[00:00:09] Were written by the people
[00:00:15] If professional songwriters had written them
[00:00:17] Instead things might have turned out considerably
[00:00:19] Differently For example consider the old favorite
[00:00:22] With which I'm sure you're all familiar
[00:00:23] Clementine you know
[00:00:25] In a cavern in a canyon
[00:00:26] Dadada dadadada
[00:00:29] A song with no recognizable merit whatsoever
[00:00:33] And imagine what might have happened if for example
[00:00:36] Cole Porter had tried writing this song
[00:00:38] The first verse might have come out like this
[00:00:48] In a cavern
[00:00:52] In a canyon
[00:00:55] Excava hay hay hehting for
[00:00:59] A mine
[00:01:01] Far away from the boom boom boom
[00:01:04] Of the city
[00:01:06] She was so pretty
[00:01:07] What a pity Clementine
[00:01:12] Oh Clementine
[00:01:14] Can't you tell from the howls of me
[00:01:18] This love of mine
[00:01:21] Calls to you from the bowels of me
[00:01:26] Are you dis cerning
[00:01:29] The returning
[00:01:30] Of this churning
[00:01:31] Burning
[00:01:32] Yearning for you
[00:01:38] And
[00:01:39] Well supposing at this point that Mozart
[00:01:46] Or one of that crowd had tried writing a verse
[00:01:56] The next one might've come out as a baritone aria
[00:01:58] From an Italian opera somewhat along these lines:
[00:02:09] Era legera e come un fairy
[00:02:12] E suo shoes numero nine
[00:02:16] Herring bo ho ho hoxes sans a to ho ho hopses
[00:02:19] Sandalae per Clementina si
[00:02:22] Per Clementina si
[00:02:23] For Clementine
[00:02:24] Per Clementina sandalae
[00:02:25] Sandals for Clementine
[00:02:26] Per Clementina sandalae
[00:02:26] Sandals for Clementine
[00:02:28] Clementina Clementina Cleh eh eh ehmentina
[00:02:35] Herring boxes sans a topses sandalae per Clementina
[00:02:37] Herring boxes without topses sandals for Clementine
[00:02:39] Che sciagura Clementina
[00:02:40] Che sciagura Clementina
[00:02:42] Cara Clementina
[00:02:43] Cara Clementina na na na na na na na
[00:02:46] Beloved Clementine
[00:02:55] Upposing at this rather dramatic juncture in
[00:02:57] The narrative one ofour modern cool school of composers
[00:03:01] Had tried writing a verse thenext one might've come out
[00:03:03] A like this
[00:03:12] Drove those ducklings to the water yprach
[00:03:14] Doodilehdoodoot yah hah
[00:03:17] Every mornin' like nine a m awhoopah
[00:03:19] Doodileh doo doo doodilidah
[00:03:22] Got a hung upon a splinter
[00:03:23] Got a hung upon a splinter klooglimah
[00:03:26] Hoo hoot
[00:03:28] Fell into the foamy brine
[00:03:30] Dig that crazy Clementine man
[00:03:44] To end on a happy note one can always count
[00:03:48] On Gilbert and Sullivan for a rousig finale full of words
[00:03:54] And music and signifying nothing
[00:04:11] That I missed her depressed her
[00:04:12] Young sister named Esther
[00:04:13] This mister to pester the tried
[00:04:15] Now a pestering sister's a festering blister
[00:04:17] You're best to resist her say I
[00:04:19] The mister resisted
[00:04:19] The sister persisted
[00:04:20] When I kissed her all loyalty slipped
[00:04:22] When she said I could have her
[00:04:24] Her sister's cadaver
[00:04:24] Must surely have turned in its crypt
[00:04:26] Yes yes yes yes
[00:04:29] But I love she and she loves me
[00:04:31] And raptured are the both of we
[00:04:32] Yes I love she and she loves I
[00:04:35] And will through all eterni tye
[00:04:39] See what I mean
