《Stung Right》歌词

[00:00:07] when i was hiking 'round the town to find a job one day,

[00:00:11] i saw a sign, "a thousand fools are wanted right away,

[00:00:15] to take a trip around the world in uncle sammy's fleet."

[00:00:19] i signed my name a dozen times upon a great big sheet.

[00:00:26] i was stung right, stung right, s-t-u-n-g,

[00:00:33] stung right, stung right, e. z. mark, that's me;

[00:00:37] when my term is over, and again i'm free,

[00:00:41] there'll be no more trips around the world for me.

[00:00:49] the recruiter said, "the u. s. fleet, that is no place for slaves,

[00:00:53] the only thing you have to do is stand and watch the waves."

[00:00:57] but in the morning, five o'clock, they woke me from my snooze,

[00:01:01] to scrub the deck and polish brass and shine the captain's shoes.

[00:01:09] i was stung right, stung right, s-t-u-n-g,

[00:01:15] stung right, stung right, e. z. mark, that's me;

[00:01:20] when my term is over, and again i'm free,

[00:01:24] there'll be no more trips around the world for me.

[00:01:32] some time ago when uncle sammy had a war with spain,

[00:01:36] and many of the boys in blue were in the battle slain,

[00:01:40] not all were killed by bullets, though, not by any means,

[00:01:44] the biggest part that died were killed by armour's pork and beans.

[00:01:54] i was stung right, stung right, s-t-u-n-g,

[00:02:00] stung right, stung right, e. z. mark, that's me;

[00:02:05] when my term is over, and again i'm free,

[00:02:09] there'll be no more trips around the world for me.
