《It Does Not Pay to be Hip》歌词

[00:00:00] Shel Silverstein - It Does Not Pay to be Hip

[00:00:00] Well for a long time now I've been aware

[00:00:04] That like I'm alright but

[00:00:06] like the world is square

[00:00:09] So I'll tell all you people

[00:00:11] you can take my tip

[00:00:13] It does not pay to be hip

[00:00:16] Now just last week I found

[00:00:19] myself in the red

[00:00:21] With no way to meet my overhead

[00:00:25] So like I went to my buddy

[00:00:27] And asked him for some bread

[00:00:29] And here is what he said

[00:00:32] He said you want white bread

[00:00:35] Rye bread pumpernickel whole wheat

[00:00:38] Cracked wheat challa or bialy

[00:00:40] I said later

[00:00:43] He said you mean three or four o'clock

[00:00:45] I said later

[00:00:46] He said you mean thursday or friday

[00:00:49] I said forget it

[00:00:53] Now I was feelin' uptight so

[00:00:55] like I went to see the man

[00:00:57] I heard he always had some stuff on hand

[00:01:01] I said tell me baby can you spare some pot

[00:01:06] He said you're welcome to anything I got

[00:01:09] And I've got steel pots brass

[00:01:12] pots cast iron aluminum

[00:01:15] Pyrex winbex

[00:01:17] I said cool it

[00:01:19] He said you mean put

[00:01:20] it in the refrigerator

[00:01:21] I said cool it

[00:01:22] He said you mean

[00:01:23] turn on the air conditioning

[00:01:26] I said forget it

[00:01:30] Now I was feeling strung out

[00:01:32] And hung up and brought down

[00:01:34] There was nobody hip like

[00:01:36] in the whole damn town

[00:01:39] So I run upon a chick and

[00:01:41] she was long and tall

[00:01:43] And asked her would she care to ball

[00:01:46] And she said football baseball

[00:01:50] volleyball or basketball

[00:01:52] Handball pinball bowling ball

[00:01:55] I said you're putting me on

[00:01:57] She says on the train on the plane

[00:02:00] On the bus or on the sidewalk

[00:02:03] I said I wanna make it

[00:02:05] She said make what

[00:02:06] I said a scene

[00:02:09] I said I want to make a scene

[00:02:12] She said shakespeare clifford odetts

[00:02:15] Arthur miller or pirandello

[00:02:18] I said forget it

[00:02:22] She says you know what I'd like to do

[00:02:25] I said no what

[00:02:28] And she said i'd like to make love to you

[00:02:31] And I said go baby go

[00:02:34] And she left
