《Alice Is At It Again》歌词

[00:00:00] Alice Is At It Again - Noel Coward

[00:00:00] Written by：Coward

[00:00:00] Now I should like to sing you a song about a simple

[00:00:06] Country girl who always kept her eye on the future

[00:00:18] In a dear little village

[00:00:19] Remote and obscure

[00:00:21] A beautiful maiden resided

[00:00:22] As to whether or not

[00:00:24] Her intentions were pure

[00:00:26] Opinions were sharply divided

[00:00:28] She loved to lie

[00:00:30] Out 'neath the darkening sky

[00:00:32] And allow the night breeze

[00:00:33] To entrance her

[00:00:35] She whispered her dreams

[00:00:36] To the birds flying by

[00:00:38] But seldom received any answer

[00:00:43] Over the field and along the lane

[00:00:46] Gentle Alice would love to stray

[00:00:49] When it came to the end of the day

[00:00:53] She would wander away

[00:00:55] An heeding

[00:00:57] Dreaming her innocent dreams she strode

[00:01:00] Quite unaffected by heat or cold

[00:01:03] Frequently freckled or soaked with rain

[00:01:06] Alice was out in the lane

[00:01:10] Who she met there

[00:01:13] Every day

[00:01:14] Was a question

[00:01:16] Answered by none

[00:01:18] But she'd get there

[00:01:19] And she'd stay there

[00:01:21] 'Til whatever she did

[00:01:23] Was undoubtedly done

[00:01:25] Over the field and along the lane

[00:01:28] Both her parents would call in vain

[00:01:32] Sadly sorrowfully they'd complain

[00:01:36] Alice is at it again

[00:01:44] Although that dear little village

[00:01:45] Surrounded by trees

[00:01:47] Had neither a school nor a college

[00:01:49] Gentle Alice acquired

[00:01:50] From the birds and the bees

[00:01:52] Some exceedingly practical knowledge

[00:01:55] The curious secrets that nature revealed

[00:01:58] She refused to allow to upset her

[00:02:00] But she thought

[00:02:02] When observing the beasts of the field

[00:02:04] That things might have been organized better

[00:02:11] Over the field and along the lane

[00:02:15] Gentle Alice would make up

[00:02:16] And take up

[00:02:17] Her stand

[00:02:19] The road was not exactly arterial

[00:02:22] But it led to a town nearby

[00:02:24] Where quite a lot of masculine material

[00:02:27] Caught her rolling eye

[00:02:28] She was ready to hitchhike

[00:02:30] Cadillac or motorbike

[00:02:31] She wasn't proud or choosy

[00:02:34] All she

[00:02:35] Was aiming to be

[00:02:36] Was a pinked up

[00:02:37] Pinked up

[00:02:37] Fly by night floozy

[00:02:38] When old rogers

[00:02:39] Gave her pearls as large as

[00:02:41] Nuts on a chestnut tree

[00:02:43] All she'd say was

[00:02:44] 'Fiddle Di Dee

[00:02:45] The wages of sin will be the death of me

[00:02:48] Over the field and along the lane

[00:02:51] Gentle Alice's parents

[00:02:53] Would wait

[00:02:54] Hand in hand

[00:02:57] Her dear old white headed mother

[00:03:01] Wistfully sipping champagne

[00:03:05] Said we've spoiled our child

[00:03:07] Spared the rod

[00:03:08] Open up the caviar and say thank God

[00:03:10] We've got no cause to complain

[00:03:15] Alice is at it again
