《On the nickel》歌词

[00:00:00] On The Nickel (LP版) - Tom Waits

[00:00:01] Written by：Tom Waits

[00:00:24] Sticks and stones will break my bones

[00:00:31] I always will be true

[00:00:37] When your mama's dead and gone

[00:00:42] I'll sing this lullaby just for you

[00:00:52] What becomes of all the little boys

[00:00:59] Who never comb their hair

[00:01:06] They're lined up all around the block on the nickel over there

[00:01:21] So better bring a bucket

[00:01:28] There's a hole in the pail

[00:01:35] And if you don't get my letter then you'll know that I'm in jail

[00:01:49] What becomes of all the little boys

[00:01:55] Who never say their prayers

[00:02:02] They're sleeping like a baby on the nickel over there

[00:02:30] If you chew tobacco

[00:02:36] Wish upon a star

[00:02:43] You'll find out where the scarecrows sit just like punch lines between the cars

[00:02:56] I know a place where a royal flush

[00:03:03] Never beat a pair

[00:03:09] Even Thomas Jefferson is on the nickel over there

[00:03:22] To ring around the rosie

[00:03:29] Sleeping in the rain

[00:03:36] You're always late for supper

[00:03:41] Man you let me down let me down again

[00:03:49] I thought I heard a mockingbird

[00:03:56] Roosevelt knows where

[00:04:03] You skip the light with Grady Tuck on the nickel over there

[00:04:29] So what becomes of all the little boys who run away from home

[00:04:42] The world just keeps getting bigger once you get out on your own

[00:04:56] So here's to all the little boys

[00:05:02] The sandman takes you where

[00:05:09] Sleeping with a pillow man on the nickel over there

[00:05:23] So climb up through that button hole

[00:05:30] Fall right up the stairs

[00:05:36] I'll show you where the short dogs grow

[00:05:45] On the nickel

[00:05:49] Will over there
