《Adelaide’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:02] 芭芭拉史翠珊

[00:00:03] Adelaide's Lament

[00:00:12] The average unmarried female

[00:00:17] Basic'lly insecure

[00:00:20] Due to some long frustration

[00:00:23] May react

[00:00:25] With psychosomatic symptoms

[00:00:32] Difficult to endure

[00:00:34] Affecting the upper respiratory tract

[00:00:43] In other words

[00:00:44] Just from waiting around

[00:00:45] For that little band of gold

[00:00:48] A person can develop a cold

[00:00:52] You can spray her wherever you figure

[00:00:55] The streptococci lurk

[00:00:56] You can give her a shot

[00:00:59] For whatever she's got

[00:01:01] But it just won't work

[00:01:03] If she's tired of getting the fish-eye

[00:01:05] From the hotel clerk

[00:01:07] A person

[00:01:10] Can develop a cold

[00:01:16] The female remaining single

[00:01:20] Just in the legal sense

[00:01:23] Shows a neurotic tendency

[00:01:26] See note:

[00:01:29] Note: Chronic organic syndromes

[00:01:34] Toxic and hypertense

[00:01:37] Involving the eye

[00:01:40] The ear and the nose and throat

[00:01:42] In other words

[00:01:43] Just from worrying

[00:01:46] Whether the wedding is on or off

[00:01:50] A person

[00:01:51] Can develop a cough

[00:01:54] You can feed her all day

[00:01:56] With the Vitamin A

[00:01:57] And the Bromo Fizz

[00:02:00] But the medicine never

[00:02:01] Gets anywhere near

[00:02:03] Where the trouble is

[00:02:05] If she's getting a kind

[00:02:06] Of name for herself

[00:02:07] And the name ain't 'his'

[00:02:10] A person

[00:02:12] Can develop a cough

[00:02:15] And further more

[00:02:16] Just from stalling

[00:02:17] And stalling and stalling

[00:02:19] The wedding trip

[00:02:20] A person

[00:02:22] Can develop La grippe

[00:02:24] When they get on a train

[00:02:26] For Niag'ra

[00:02:27] And she can hear church bells chime

[00:02:30] The compartment is air conditioned

[00:02:32] And the mood sublime

[00:02:35] Then they get off at Saratoga

[00:02:36] For the fourteenth time

[00:02:40] A person

[00:02:42] Can develop La grippe

[00:02:44] La grippe La post nasal drip

[00:02:47] With the wheezes

[00:02:49] And the sneezes

[00:02:50] And a sinus that's really a pip

[00:02:54] For a lack of community property

[00:02:55] And a feeling she's getting too old

[00:03:00] A person

[00:03:02] Can develop

[00:03:03] A bad bad cold
