《The Collar and the Garter》歌词

[00:00:16] The Collar And The Garter -Stephin Merritt

[00:00:18] He speaks as sweetly as he can

[00:00:20] But words do not enthrall her

[00:00:22] They dance around the washing-pan

[00:00:24] The collar and the garter

[00:00:27] He tartly starts up repartee

[00:00:29] But her retorts are smarter

[00:00:39] She will not name a wedding day

[00:00:41] The garter and the collar

[00:00:56] So to and fro, and so they dance

[00:00:59] The collar and the garter

[00:01:02] He swears, if he should lose his love

[00:01:04] Then love will gain a martyr

[00:01:09] They part, and that's the story of

[00:01:16] The garter and the collar

[00:01:20] He keeps his braggadocio

[00:01:22] Through years of fall and squalor

[00:01:24] And toasts the maid who loved him so

[00:01:33] The collar and the garter
