《Ernie(The Fastest Milkman in the West)》歌词

[00:00:00] Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West) [2003 - Remaster

[00:00:04] You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground

[00:00:08] And the clatter of the wheels as they spun round and round

[00:00:11] And he galloped into Market Street his badge upon his chest

[00:00:14] His name was Ernie and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

[00:00:20] Now Ernie loved a widow a lady known as sue

[00:00:23] She lived all alone in liddley lane at number twenty

[00:00:27] They said she was too good for him she was haughty proud and chic

[00:00:30] But Ernie got his cocoa there three times every week

[00:00:35] They called him Ernie Ernie

[00:00:38] And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

[00:00:42] She said she'd like to bathe in milk he said all right sweetheart

[00:00:46] And when he'd finished work one night he loaded up his cart

[00:00:49] He said you want it pasteurize cause pasteurize is best

[00:00:53] She says Ernie I'll be happy if it comes up to my chest

[00:00:57] That tickled old Ernie Ernie

[00:01:00] And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west oh

[00:01:06] Now Ernie had a rival an evil looking man

[00:01:10] Called two ton ted from teddington and he drove the baker's van

[00:01:14] He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread

[00:01:17] And when she seen the size

[00:01:18] Of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head

[00:01:22] She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said if you treat me right

[00:01:26] You'll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night

[00:01:29] He knew once she sampled his layer cake he'd have his wicked way

[00:01:33] And all Ernie had to offer was a pint of milk a day

[00:01:37] Poor Ernie Ernie

[00:01:41] And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west oh

[00:01:46] One lunch time ted saw Ernie's horse and cart outside her door

[00:01:50] It drove him mad to find it was still there at half past four

[00:01:54] And as he let down from his van

[00:01:55] Hot blood through his veins did course

[00:01:57] And he went across to Ernie's cart and didn't half kick his rose

[00:02:02] Whose name was trigger trigger

[00:02:05] And he pulled the fastest milk cart in the west

[00:02:09] Now Ernie rushed out into the street his gold top in his hand

[00:02:12] He said if you wanna marry Susie you'll fight for her like a man

[00:02:16] Oh why don't we play cards for her he sneeringly replied

[00:02:20] And just to make it interesting we'll have a shilling on the side

[00:02:24] Now Ernie dragged him from his van and beneath the blazing sun

[00:02:28] They stood there face to face and ted went for his bun

[00:02:32] But Ernie was too quick things didn't go the way ted planned

[00:02:35] And a strawberry flavored yogurt sent it spinning from his hand

[00:02:40] Now Susie ran between them and tried to keep them apart

[00:02:44] And Ernie he pushed her aside

[00:02:45] And a rock cake caught him underneath his heart

[00:02:47] And he looked up in pained surprise and the concrete hardened crust

[00:02:51] Of a stale pork pie caught him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust

[00:02:55] Poor Ernie Ernie

[00:02:59] And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west

[00:03:04] Ernie was only fifty two he didn't wanna die

[00:03:09] And now he's gone to make deliveries in that milk round in the sky

[00:03:13] Where the customers are angels and ferocious dogs are banned

[00:03:17] And the milkman's life is full of fun in that fairy dairy land

[00:03:21] But a woman's needs are many fold and soon she married ted

[00:03:27] But strange things happened on their wedding night

[00:03:29] As they lay in their bed

[00:03:32] Was that the trees a rustling or the hinges of the gate

[00:03:37] Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a rattling in their crate

[00:03:42] They won't forget Ernie Ernie

[00:03:46] And he drove the fastest milk cart in the west
