《The Babbit and the Bromide》歌词

[00:00:00] The Babbit and the Bromide - Fred Astaire/Adele Astaire/George Gershwin (乔治·格什文)

[00:00:04] A babbitt met a bromide

[00:00:05] On the avenue one day

[00:00:07] And held a conversation

[00:00:09] In their own peculiar way

[00:00:13] They both were solid citizens

[00:00:14] They both had been around

[00:00:16] And as they spoke you clearly

[00:00:18] Saw their feet were on the ground

[00:00:22] Hello

[00:00:22] How are you

[00:00:23] How's the folks

[00:00:24] What's new

[00:00:25] I'm great

[00:00:26] That's good

[00:00:27] Huh-huh

[00:00:28] Touch wood

[00:00:29] Well well

[00:00:30] What say

[00:00:30] How've you been

[00:00:32] Nice day

[00:00:33] How's things

[00:00:33] What's new

[00:00:34] That's fine

[00:00:35] How are you

[00:00:36] Nice weather we are having

[00:00:38] But it gives me such a pain

[00:00:39] I've brought my umbrella

[00:00:41] So of course it doesn't rain

[00:00:43] Well hey'ho

[00:00:44] That's life

[00:00:45] What's new

[00:00:46] How's the wife

[00:00:47] Got to run

[00:00:47] Oh my

[00:00:48] Ta-ta

[00:00:49] Olive oil

[00:00:50] Goodbye

[00:01:01] Ten years went quickly by for

[00:01:03] Both these subste-antial men

[00:01:05] And then it happened that one day

[00:01:07] They chanced to meet again

[00:01:10] That they had both developed in ten years

[00:01:13] There was no doubt

[00:01:14] And so of course they had

[00:01:15] An awful lot to talk about

[00:01:19] Hello

[00:01:20] How are you

[00:01:21] How's the folks

[00:01:22] What's new

[00:01:23] I'm great

[00:01:24] That's good

[00:01:25] Huh-huh

[00:01:26] Touch wood

[00:01:27] Well well

[00:01:28] What say

[00:01:28] How've you been

[00:01:29] Nice day

[00:01:30] How's things

[00:01:31] What's new

[00:01:32] That's fine

[00:01:33] How are you

[00:01:34] I seem to know your face but

[00:01:36] I just can't recall your name

[00:01:38] Well how've you been old boy

[00:01:39] You're looking just about the same

[00:01:41] Well hey'ho

[00:01:42] That's life

[00:01:43] What's new

[00:01:44] How's the wife

[00:01:45] Got to run

[00:01:46] Oh my

[00:01:47] Ta-ta

[00:01:48] Olive oil

[00:01:49] Goodbye

[00:02:07] Before they met again

[00:02:09] Some twenty years they had to wai

[00:02:11] This time it happened up above

[00:02:12] Inside saint peter's gate

[00:02:16] A harp each one was carrying

[00:02:18] And both were wearing wings

[00:02:20] And this is what they said as

[00:02:21] They were strumming on the strings

[00:02:25] Hello

[00:02:26] How are you

[00:02:27] How's the folks

[00:02:28] What's new

[00:02:28] Got to run

[00:02:29] Oh my

[00:02:30] Ta-ta

[00:02:31] Olive oil

[00:02:32] Goodbye
