《Jacques Lamure》歌词

[00:00:03] Jacques Lamure is a

[00:00:05] Volunteer fireman

[00:00:10] He longs to give his life

[00:00:13] Saving a nice old man and his wife

[00:00:17] When their house is

[00:00:18] Filled with flames

[00:00:21] Earning him honor and fame

[00:00:25] Jacques Lamure is a foreman

[00:00:28] At a clock factory

[00:00:32] He wishes he were boss

[00:00:35] So he could fire that scoundrel William Moss

[00:00:39] Who always puts him down

[00:00:43] When Megan Blanchard is around

[00:00:47] He told himself last year

[00:00:48] That when springtime was here

[00:00:50] He would suddenly appear at Meg's door

[00:00:54] He'd rent a mariachi band and respectfully demand

[00:00:57] His dear Meg to take his hand

[00:00:59] And to be his forever more

[00:01:03] But of course he didn't dare

[00:01:05] And pretended not to care

[00:01:08] About the insult or the loss

[00:01:12] When he found out she'd married William Moss

[00:01:25] Jacques Lamure goes to see a show

[00:01:28] Every other Friday night

[00:01:33] He likes the westerns best

[00:01:35] He'd rather be a sheriff with a gold star on his chest

[00:01:39] Than that weird guy who never says a word

[00:01:43] And when spoken to pretends he hadn't heard

[00:01:46] He realized one day that he didn't have to stay

[00:01:50] That he could move as far away as planes could fly

[00:01:54] He chuckled as he mused

[00:01:56] About the people who had rused him

[00:01:58] And how shocked and confused that they would be

[00:02:00] When he says goodbye and never turns around

[00:02:05] Never returns to that miserable town

[00:02:07] Then as weeks passed he soon did find

[00:02:12] This move had greatly improved his state of mind
