《When I Was a Lad》歌词

[00:00:00] When I Was A Lad - Allan Sherman

[00:00:11] When I was a lad I went to Yale

[00:00:14] And I knew then that I could never fail

[00:00:16] For I studied very hard and furthermore

[00:00:18] I polished up the apple for the professor

[00:00:21] He polished up the apple for the professor

[00:00:23] I polished up the apple so frequently

[00:00:25] That soon I had a Phi Beta Kappa Key

[00:00:28] He soon had a Phi Beta Kappa key

[00:00:30] From polishing the apple very frequently

[00:00:32] On graduation day I made a stop

[00:00:35] At a very exclusive clothing shop

[00:00:37] I opened up a charge account and asked them for

[00:00:40] The best grade flannel in the clothing store

[00:00:42] The best grade flannel in the clothing store

[00:00:44] That suit was a part of a great intrigue

[00:00:47] For it proved I was a member of the Ivy League

[00:00:49] It was part of a great intrigue

[00:00:52] For it proved he was a member of the Ivy League

[00:00:54] Then I got a crew cut and a sincere tie

[00:00:56] And for my first job I did apply

[00:00:59] A job in an advertising agency

[00:01:01] Sharpening the pencils of a big VP

[00:01:04] Oh he honed a lot of pencils for a big VP

[00:01:06] I sharpened all the pencils so pointedly

[00:01:08] That now I am a partner in the agency

[00:01:11] He sharpened all the pencils so pointedly

[00:01:13] That now he is a member of the agency

[00:01:17] I kept my ears open and my big mouth shut

[00:01:19] And I learned all the agency's scuttlebutt

[00:01:21] I learned who was going out with whom

[00:01:24] And who had the keys to the powder room

[00:01:27] And who had the keys to the powder room

[00:01:29] For the keys to the powder room you see

[00:01:31] Is the key to the structure of the agency

[00:01:34] The keys to the powder room is the key

[00:01:37] To the structure of the agency

[00:01:39] I worked real hard for the dear old firm

[00:01:41] I learned most every advertising term

[00:01:44] I said to the men in the dark gray suits

[00:01:46] "Let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes"

[00:01:49] Let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes

[00:01:51] I ran it up the flagpole perfectly

[00:01:53] So now I am a partner in the agency

[00:01:56] He ran it up the flagpole perfectly

[00:01:58] So now he is a partner in the agency

[00:02:00] Now I have a big office at the end of the hall

[00:02:03] With very fancy carpeting from wall to wall

[00:02:05] I keep my mouth open and I keep my ears shut

[00:02:08] And I've got a little palace in Connecticut

[00:02:10] And he's got a little palace in Connecticut

[00:02:14] So I thank old Yale and I thank the Lord

[00:02:22] And I also thank my father who was Chairman of the Board

[00:02:24] And he's grateful to his father

[00:02:25] Yes he's grateful to his father

[00:02:26] Yes he's grateful to his father

[00:02:28] Who was Chairman of the Board
