《The Warthog (The Hog Beneath The Skin)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Warthog (The Hog Beneath The Skin) - Flanders & Swann

[00:00:44] The Jungle was giving a party

[00:00:46] A post hibernation ball

[00:00:50] The Ballroom was crowded with waltzing Gazelles Gorillas and Zebras and all

[00:01:00] But who is that animal almost in tears

[00:01:04] Pretending to powder her nose

[00:01:07] A poor little Warthog who sits by herself

[00:01:12] In a pink satin with blue bows

[00:01:16] Again she is no-body's choice and she sings in a sad little voice:

[00:01:24] No one ever wants to court a Warthog

[00:01:29] Though a Warthog does her best

[00:01:32] I've spent a lot of money for a Warthog

[00:01:36] I am perfumed and prettily dressed

[00:01:39] I've lustrinsed my hair

[00:01:42] I'm perfumed here and there

[00:01:44] My gums were tinted when I brushed my teeth

[00:01:48] I'm young and in my prime

[00:01:51] But a wallflower all the time

[00:01:53] 'Cos I'm a Warthog

[00:01:55] Just a Warthog

[00:01:57] I'm a Warthog underneath

[00:02:02] Take your partners for a ladies Excuse me

[00:02:06] Excited and radiant she runs on the floor

[00:02:10] To join the furor and fuss

[00:02:12] She taps on each shoulder and says 'Excuse me '

[00:02:16] And each couple replied 'Excuse us '

[00:02:20] Then having no manners at all

[00:02:22] They sing as they dance round the hall:

[00:02:26] 'No one ever wants to court a Warthog

[00:02:29] Though a Warthog does her best

[00:02:32] Her accessories are dazzling for a Warthog

[00:02:36] She is perfumed and daringly dressed

[00:02:39] We know her these and those are like Marilyn Monroe's

[00:02:43] Her gown is just a scintillating sheath

[00:02:47] But she somehow fails to please

[00:02:51] 'Cos everybody sees she's a Warthog

[00:02:54] Just a Warthog

[00:02:56] She's a Warthog underneath'

[00:03:02] Head hanging she wanders away from the floor

[00:03:07] This Warthog whom nobody loves

[00:03:11] Then stops in amazement

[00:03:13] For there at the door stands a gentleman Warthog impeccably dressed

[00:03:19] In the act of removing his gloves

[00:03:23] His fine chiseled face seems to frown

[00:03:28] As he looks her first up then down

[00:03:33] 'I fancy you must be a sort of Warthog

[00:03:37] Though for a Warthog you look a mess

[00:03:40] That make-up's far to heavy for a Warthog;;

[00:03:43] You could have chosen a more suitable dress

[00:03:47] Did you have to dye your hair

[00:03:48] If that's perfume give me air

[00:03:50] I strongly disapprove of scarlet teeth

[00:03:54] But let us take the floor

[00:03:57] 'Cause I'm absolutely sure

[00:03:59] That you're a Warthog

[00:04:00] Just a Warthog

[00:04:02] The sweetest little

[00:04:03] Neatest little

[00:04:04] Dearest and completest little

[00:04:06] Warthog underneath'
