《What Do the Simple Folk Do?》歌词

[00:00:00] What Do the Simple Folk Do? - Richard Burton/Julie Andrews

[00:00:00] Written by：Frederick Loewe

[00:00:01] What do the simple folk do

[00:00:05] To help them escape when they're blue

[00:00:09] The shepard who is ailing the milkmaid who is glum

[00:00:13] The cobbler who is wailing from nailing his thumb

[00:00:17] When they're beset and besieged

[00:00:21] The folk not noblessly obliged

[00:00:25] However do they manage to shed their weary lot

[00:00:29] Oh what

[00:00:31] Do simple folk do

[00:00:35] We do not

[00:00:38] I have been informed

[00:00:39] By those know them well

[00:00:41] They find relief in quite a clever way

[00:00:46] When they sorely pressed

[00:00:47] They whistle for a spell

[00:00:49] And whistling seems to brighten up their day

[00:00:53] And that's

[00:00:55] What simple folk do

[00:00:59] So they say

[00:01:01] They whistle

[00:01:03] So they say

[00:01:27] What else do the simple folk do

[00:01:32] To pluck up the heart and get through

[00:01:36] The wee folk and the grown folk

[00:01:38] Who wander to and fro

[00:01:40] Have ways known to their own folk

[00:01:42] We throne folk don't know

[00:01:44] When all the doldrums begin

[00:01:48] What keeps each of them in his skin

[00:01:52] What ancient native custom provides the needed glow

[00:01:56] Oh what

[00:01:58] Do simple folk do

[00:02:02] Do you know

[00:02:04] Once upon the road

[00:02:06] I came upon a lad

[00:02:08] Singing in a voice three times his size

[00:02:12] When I asked him why

[00:02:14] He told me he was sad

[00:02:16] And singing always made his spirits rise

[00:02:20] And that's

[00:02:22] What simple folk do

[00:02:26] I surmise

[00:02:28] They'v sing

[00:02:30] I surmise

[00:02:33] Arise my love arise my love

[00:02:35] Apollo's lighting the skies my love

[00:02:37] The meadows shine with columbine

[00:02:39] And daffodils blossom away

[00:02:41] Hear Venus call to one and all

[00:02:43] Come taste delight while you may

[00:02:45] The world is bright and all is right

[00:02:47] And life is merry and gay

[00:02:51] What else do the simple folk do

[00:02:55] They must have a system or two

[00:02:59] They obviously outshine us at turning tears to mirth

[00:03:03] And tricks a royal highness is minus from birth

[00:03:07] What then I wonder do they

[00:03:11] To chase all the goblins away

[00:03:15] They have some tribal sorcery you haven't mentioned yet

[00:03:19] Oh what

[00:03:21] Do simple folk do to forget

[00:03:28] Often I am told

[00:03:29] They dance fiery dance

[00:03:32] And whirl 'till they're completely uncontrolled

[00:03:36] Soon the mind is blank

[00:03:38] And oh they're in a trance

[00:03:40] A violent trance astounding to behold

[00:03:43] And that's

[00:03:45] What simple folk do

[00:03:49] So I told

[00:04:11] They dance a fair

[00:04:13] False to my now

[00:04:23] What else do the simple folk do

[00:04:28] To help them escape when they're blue

[00:04:32] They sit around and wonder

[00:04:34] What royal folk would do

[00:04:37] And that's

[00:04:39] What simple folk do

[00:04:42] Oh no really

[00:04:43] I have on the best authority

[00:04:46] Yes that's

[00:04:48] What simple folk do
