《I’d Rather Charleston》歌词

[00:00:00] I'd Rather Charleston - George Gershwin (乔治·格什文)

[00:00:11] I've seen for days that you've got

[00:00:13] The ways that must be checked

[00:00:15] In you I never can detect

[00:00:18] The slightest signs of intellect

[00:00:22] Your mad on dances

[00:00:23] Think of the chances you neglect

[00:00:26] You never seem inclined to use your mind

[00:00:30] And it's quite plain to see

[00:00:33] That I'm the brains of the family

[00:00:38] Take a lesson from me

[00:00:40] I'd rather Charleston

[00:00:42] Charleston

[00:00:44] Think of what you might be

[00:00:46] I'd rather Charleston

[00:00:47] Charleston

[00:00:49] I'm disappointed in you and your ways

[00:00:55] I'm double-jointed

[00:00:57] There's no sensation like syncopation

[00:01:00] Will you let me know why

[00:01:02] I'd rather Charleston

[00:01:04] Charleston

[00:01:05] That's the sort of thing I would never do

[00:01:09] So leave it behind

[00:01:11] And give your mind to something new

[00:01:15] I'd rather Charleston

[00:01:17] Charleston Charleston with you

[00:01:21] Your way of living soon will be giving me a pain

[00:01:25] You just repeat that same refrain

[00:01:28] You use your feet and not your brain

[00:01:32] Something has got you

[00:01:34] I don't know what you hope to gain

[00:01:36] And after all I've done

[00:01:39] It's not much fun to have to have a Sister who's

[00:01:43] Got her brain in her dancing shoes

[00:01:48] So take a lesson from me

[00:01:50] I'd rather Charleston

[00:01:52] Charleston

[00:01:54] When you're older you'll see

[00:01:56] I'd rather Charleston

[00:01:58] Charleston

[00:01:59] The great improvements I looked for in you

[00:02:05] I like improvements

[00:02:07] They make new plastic just like elastic

[00:02:10] Say don't you ever keep cool

[00:02:12] I'd rather Charleston

[00:02:14] Oh no that's the sort of thing silly people do

[00:02:20] Hey haven't you read

[00:02:22] What Lincoln said in sixty-two

[00:02:24] Ye-a-a-a-h-h-h

[00:02:25] Well what'd he say

[00:02:26] I'd rather Charleston

[00:02:28] Charleston Charleston with you

[00:02:31] Not me
