《Give It Back to the Indians》歌词

[00:00:00] Give It Back To The Indians - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)

[00:00:09] Old peter minuet had nothing to lose

[00:00:13] When he bought the isle of manhatten

[00:00:18] For twenty-six dollars and a bottle of booze

[00:00:22] And they threw in the bronx and staten

[00:00:27] Pete thought that he had the best of

[00:00:30] The bargin but the poor red man just grinned

[00:00:35] And he grunted ugh meaning okay

[00:00:39] In his jargon for he

[00:00:40] Knew poor pete was skinned

[00:00:44] We've tried to run the city

[00:00:49] But the city ran away

[00:00:54] And now peter minuet

[00:01:01] We can't continue it

[00:01:06] Broadways turning into coney

[00:01:09] Champagne charlies drinking gin

[00:01:11] Old new york is new and phony

[00:01:14] Give it back to the indians

[00:01:17] Two cents more to smoke a lucky

[00:01:19] Dodging busses keep you thin

[00:01:22] Now new york is simply ducky

[00:01:24] Give it back to the indians

[00:01:26] Take all the reds

[00:01:29] On the boxes made for soap

[00:01:33] Whites on fifth avenue

[00:01:39] Blues down in wall street losing hope

[00:01:45] Big bargain today chief take it away

[00:01:50] Come you busted city slickers

[00:01:53] Better take it on the chin

[00:01:56] Father nick has lost his knickers

[00:01:58] Give it back to the indians

[00:02:26] Take all the reds

[00:02:29] On the boxes made for soap

[00:02:33] Whites on fifth avenue

[00:02:39] Blues down in wall street losing hope

[00:02:45] Big bargain today chief take it away

[00:02:51] Come you busted city slickers

[00:02:53] Better take it on the chin

[00:02:57] Father nick has lost his knickers

[00:02:59] Give it back to the indians
