《The Wart Hog (2003 - Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Warthog (From 'Wallace's Private Zoo', 1956) - Ian Wallace/Donald Swann

[00:00:07] The Jungle was giving a party

[00:00:10] A post hibernation ball

[00:00:14] The Ballroom was crowded with waltzing Gazelles

[00:00:17] Gorillas and Zebras and all

[00:00:25] But who is that animal almost in tears

[00:00:29] Pretending to powder her nose

[00:00:33] A poor little Warthog who sits by herself

[00:00:39] In a pink satin dress with blue bows

[00:00:43] Again she is nobody's choice

[00:00:46] And she sings in a sad little voice

[00:00:52] No one ever wants to court a Warthog

[00:00:56] Though a Warthog does her best

[00:00:59] I've spent a lot of money for a Warthog

[00:01:03] I am kiss buled and datily dressed

[00:01:07] I've lustrinsed my hair

[00:01:09] I'm perfumed here and there

[00:01:10] My gums were tinted when I brushed my teeth

[00:01:14] I'm young and in my prime

[00:01:17] But a wallflower all the time

[00:01:19] 'Cos I'm a Warthog

[00:01:21] Just a Warthog

[00:01:23] I'm a Warthog underneath

[00:01:30] Take your partners for a ladies Excuse me

[00:01:34] Excited and radiant she runs on the floor

[00:01:37] To join the furor and fuss

[00:01:40] She taps on each shoulder and says Excuse me

[00:01:44] And each couple replied Excuse us

[00:01:48] Then having no manners at all

[00:01:51] They sing as they dance round the hall

[00:01:55] 'No one ever wants to court a Warthog

[00:01:58] Though a Warthog does her best

[00:02:02] Her accessories are dazzling for a Warthog

[00:02:05] She is perfumed and daringly dressed

[00:02:09] We know her these and those are like Marilyn Monroe's

[00:02:12] Her gown is just a scintillating sheath

[00:02:15] But she somehow fails to please

[00:02:18] 'Cos everybody sees she's a Warthog

[00:02:21] Just a Warthog

[00:02:23] She's a Warthog underneath'

[00:02:31] Head hanging she wanders away from the floor

[00:02:36] This Warthog whom nobody loves

[00:02:40] Then stops in amazement

[00:02:43] For there at the door

[00:02:44] Stands a gentleman Warthog impeccably dressed

[00:02:49] In the act of removing his gloves

[00:02:54] His fine chiseled face seems to frown

[00:02:58] As he looks her first up then then down

[00:03:05] I fancy you must be a sort of Warthog

[00:03:09] Though for a Warthog you look a mess

[00:03:13] That make up's far to heavy for a Warthog

[00:03:16] You could have chosen a more suitable dress

[00:03:19] Did you have to dye your hair

[00:03:21] If that's perfume give me air

[00:03:23] I strongly disapprove of scarlet teeth

[00:03:27] But let us take the floor

[00:03:29] 'Cause I'm absolutely sure

[00:03:31] That you're a Warthog

[00:03:33] Just a Warthog

[00:03:35] The sweetest little

[00:03:36] Neatest little

[00:03:37] Dearest and completest little

[00:03:39] Warthog underneath
