《Jamboree Jones》歌词

[00:00:00] Jamboree Jones - Johnny Mercer & The Pied Pipers/Jo Stafford

[00:00:05] I'll begin the story

[00:00:07] Out in West Virginia

[00:00:08] Is a little college

[00:00:11] All the student body

[00:00:12] Only cared for football

[00:00:13] Never mind the knowledge

[00:00:16] Never mind the sheepskin

[00:00:17] They preferred the pigskin

[00:00:18] Seemed to have it in their bones

[00:00:21] They knew all about it

[00:00:22] Couldn't do without it

[00:00:24] All except a certain Mr Jamboree Jones

[00:00:27] And he played the clarinet with all his might

[00:00:30] He studied night and day he practiced day and night

[00:00:37] No runnin' up the field for Mr Jones

[00:00:41] He'd rather run up the scale and down the scale

[00:00:46] What tones

[00:00:50] Even though his buddies

[00:00:51] Always cut their studies

[00:00:52] To attend the rallies

[00:00:55] While they all were rootin'

[00:00:56] You could hear him tootin'

[00:00:58] What's become of Sally

[00:01:00] How they used to hate him

[00:01:01] Co-eds wouldn't date him

[00:01:03] Thought he was an awful bore

[00:01:05] Oh but he liked his rhythm

[00:01:07] More than being with 'em

[00:01:08] So he'd only turn in

[00:01:09] For to practice some more

[00:01:11] And meanwhile the team marched on to greater fame

[00:01:15] Till they were asked to play that famous Rose Bowl game

[00:01:21] And on that day of days the students beamed

[00:01:25] What did they do when the team marched on the scene

[00:01:30] They screamed

[00:01:55] Startin' from the kick-off

[00:01:56] They pulled every trick off

[00:01:58] But they couldn't win it

[00:02:00] Instead of goin' forwards

[00:02:02] They were goin' backwards

[00:02:03] 'Bout a mile a minute

[00:02:06] Seein' their position

[00:02:07] They called intermission

[00:02:08] And they heard the referee say

[00:02:10] Hey seventeen to nothin'

[00:02:12] Ain't exactly nothin'

[00:02:13] And you've only got about a minute to play

[00:02:16] And then from the stand there came a distant wail

[00:02:20] And it was Jamboree a-swingin' "Hold 'em Yale"

[00:02:27] And then the students all began to yell

[00:02:31] The players marched up the field

[00:02:33] And down the field pell mell

[00:02:42] Now on a certain West Virginia hill

[00:02:46] There stands that college still

[00:02:49] Just as it always will

[00:02:52] And there's a picture in the hall of fame

[00:02:56] You'll find the boy in the frame who won the game

[00:03:00] Jamboree Jones was the gentleman's name

[00:03:02] Jamboree Jones was the gentleman's name
