《My Winter Coat》歌词

[00:00:00] My Winter Coat - The Roches

[00:00:06] The fit is generous and loose

[00:00:12] The coat is filled with down of goose

[00:00:18] Should I feel guilty about that

[00:00:24] I wouldn't wear the fur of a cat

[00:00:32] The coat is black so in New York City

[00:00:39] It doesn't look dirty it stays pretty

[00:00:45] The cuffs are purple which perfectly suits

[00:00:51] A pair I already had of boots

[00:01:01] Can't help sharing on a personal note

[00:01:06] A secret I have concerning the coat

[00:01:12] One of the reasons that it got my vote

[00:01:18] Is the way it lies open around the throat

[00:01:26] For me the collar mustn't come too high

[00:01:33] Because well all right my skin is dry

[00:01:39] So each morning I rub my face with oil

[00:01:45] And the fabric you see the grease could soil

[00:01:54] Can we speak a moment about the lining

[00:02:01] After my own heart's designing

[00:02:06] It's nylon so your skirts don't wind

[00:02:13] Up in a bunch around your behind

[00:02:20] When the time comes for the coat to clean

[00:02:26] You throw this thing in the washing machine

[00:02:33] Drying you doubt but the filling does fluff

[00:02:39] I'm here to proclaim this coat is enough

[00:02:49] The length of the coat is below the knees

[00:02:55] So in the cold your legs don't freeze

[00:03:00] I'm nuts about another one of it's charms

[00:03:06] There's plenty of room underneath the arms

[00:03:14] The coat's not bulky it weighs about an ounce

[00:03:20] And it's practically void

[00:03:22] Of any frivolous flounce

[00:03:28] I will admit it has shoulder pads

[00:03:34] All things considered it's not so bad

[00:03:43] It looks all right even from the side

[00:03:48] I guess because the bottom isn't overly wide

[00:03:58] Okay so you say you'd prefer something hipper

[00:04:04] But can I just tell you about the zipper

[00:04:10] I searched for it for many years

[00:04:15] Last one I had I tore up in tears

[00:04:23] It turned me into Jack the Ripper

[00:04:30] But now I stepped in Cinderella's slipper

[00:04:37] It runs from the gullet to

[00:04:38] Just south of the crotch

[00:04:43] And workin' it's a task you can hardly botch

[00:04:49] It's made of a material that will not rust

[00:04:54] It won't get stuck you don't get fussed

[00:05:02] It undoes easily in the usual way

[00:05:08] But you can also pull it up

[00:05:10] If you'd like to let's say

[00:05:15] Sit down on the train or climb some stairs

[00:05:21] Your desire to bend this coat about shares

[00:05:30] There's snaps as well which I don't even use

[00:05:36] But they beat out buttons if I had to choose

[00:05:46] I remember the night I went to the store

[00:05:52] Fighting my way across

[00:05:53] The cloak stuffed floor

[00:05:58] Suffocating I was it seemed

[00:06:03] When from a rack this last hope beamed

[00:06:11] Of all my requirements I pursued the trail

[00:06:18] To find furthermore the damn thing was on sale

[00:06:25] It had a small chain at the back of the neck

[00:06:30] So you could hang it on a hook

[00:06:32] But it broke what the heck

[00:06:40] With the end of each sleeve I'm totally smitten

[00:06:46] Ample space for to emerge a thick mitten

[00:06:52] If you wanna be warm

[00:06:53] It wins far and away

[00:06:57] It's like walkin' around

[00:06:59] In your bed all day

[00:07:05] I know you're not supposed

[00:07:07] To be so fond of a thing

[00:07:12] But today this is my heartfelt

[00:07:13] Inspiration to sing

[00:07:19] I hope you don't think

[00:07:20] I'm merely trying to be clever

[00:07:25] I wish this coat would last forever
