《Let’s Take A Walk Around The Block》歌词

[00:00:00] Let's Take A Walk Around The Block - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)

[00:00:02] I never traveled further north than old van courtland park

[00:00:08] And never further south than the aquarium

[00:00:14] I've seen the charm of jersey city but first let me remark

[00:00:19] I saw it from the empire state solarium

[00:00:26] But we've been putting nickels in the postal savings bank

[00:00:31] And when those nickels pile up we can toddle off in swank

[00:00:37] And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour

[00:00:45] I mean a cabin de luxe tour

[00:00:54] Someday we'll go places

[00:00:56] New lands and new faces

[00:00:58] The day we quit punching the clock

[00:01:01] The future looks pleasant

[00:01:04] But at present

[00:01:06] Let's take a walk around the block

[00:01:13] You're just the companion

[00:01:15] I want at Grand Canyon

[00:01:17] For throwing old blades down the rock

[00:01:21] The money we have I'll go for travel

[00:01:25] Meantime let's walk around the block

[00:01:33] Gangway we'll begin

[00:01:37] When our ship comes in

[00:01:42] I'll sit on your lap

[00:01:45] All over the map

[00:01:49] To london in May time

[00:01:51] To venice in play time

[00:01:53] To paris in time for a frock

[00:01:56] To boston in bean time

[00:01:58] Darling meantime

[00:02:00] Let's take a walk around the block

[00:02:35] In winter at Christmas

[00:02:37] We'll visit the isthmus

[00:02:39] And see how they lock up a lock

[00:02:43] And then in caracas on a jackass

[00:02:47] We'll take a ride around the block

[00:02:55] We'll keep to our promise

[00:02:57] To visit St Thomas

[00:02:59] And then at Jamaica we'll dock

[00:03:03] The prospect is thrilling

[00:03:05] Still I am willing

[00:03:06] Just now to talk around the block

[00:03:14] On ward to Cathay

[00:03:18] Then to Mandalay

[00:03:23] Boom on to Bangkok

[00:03:26] P'r'aps Vladivostok

[00:03:29] We'll send the folks cables

[00:03:31] Accumulate labels

[00:03:33] Buy souvenirs till we're in hock

[00:03:37] But since we are flat in old Manhattan

[00:03:41] Let's take a walk around the block
