《Talking Pop Art(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Talking Pop Art (LP版) - Tom Paxton

[00:00:05] Well I went out for a walk last week

[00:00:07] I passed a shop they call a boutique

[00:00:09] Fancy Dresses of every size fancy wigs to pop your eyes

[00:00:13] Bracelets diamond rings stuff for women too

[00:00:22] Well I didn't want to see no more

[00:00:24] I slipped inside the grocery store

[00:00:26] I took down a can of beans

[00:00:28] I pulled a dollar out of my jeans

[00:00:29] A fella said Hold it

[00:00:34] That'll be three hundred dollars

[00:00:40] Well a feather could've knocked me down

[00:00:42] I mean I knew this was a high priced town

[00:00:44] But this was getting hard to take

[00:00:45] I said What the hell do you get for steak

[00:00:48] You looked surprised

[00:00:50] Said It isn't just a can of beans

[00:00:52] It's a work of art

[00:00:55] Well now I see what the poor man means

[00:00:57] He's proud of that little can of beans

[00:00:59] I didn't hear what else he said

[00:01:01] I had my eyes on a loaf of bread

[00:01:03] White bread four hundred dollars;

[00:01:07] Three for a thousand

[00:01:13] Well just about then a crowd came in

[00:01:15] And pickin's must've been pretty slim

[00:01:17] Because in just a minute or three or four

[00:01:19] They'd cleaned out that whole grocery store

[00:01:20] They bought brooms

[00:01:22] Fought over watermelons

[00:01:24] One fella put down a pickle

[00:01:25] Said I don't know much about art

[00:01:27] But I know what I like

[00:01:33] Well as I stood there wonderin' why

[00:01:35] Two little fellas came cruising by

[00:01:37] Little tight suits little black ties

[00:01:39] One of them looked at me

[00:01:40] And said My how rustic I bid a thousand

[00:01:44] I said I beg your pardon

[00:01:45] It speaks I bid five thousand

[00:01:51] So here I stand in a Superman suit

[00:01:53] And everybody says I'm cute

[00:01:55] I tried to tell them but they would not see

[00:01:57] So they hang their hats and coats on me

[00:01:59] Well a job's a job

[00:02:01] Still if I had my preference I'd rather be Batman
