《Mermaid’s Avenue》歌词

[00:00:00] Mermaid's Avenue - The Klezmatics

[00:00:17] Mermaid Avenue that's the street

[00:00:20] Where the lox and bagels meet

[00:00:23] Where the hot dog meets the mustard

[00:00:26] Where the sour meets the sweet

[00:00:29] Where the beer flows to the ocean

[00:00:31] Where the wine runs to the sea

[00:00:34] Why they call it Mermaid Avenue

[00:00:37] That's more than I can see

[00:00:40] But there's never been a mermaid here

[00:00:43] On Mermaid Avenue

[00:00:46] No I've never seen a mermaid here

[00:00:49] On Mermaid Avenue

[00:00:51] I've seen hags and wags and witches

[00:00:55] And I've seen a shark or two

[00:00:57] My five years that I've lived along

[00:01:01] Old Mermaid's Avenue

[00:01:03] Is five years that I've lived along

[00:01:07] Mermaid's Avenue

[00:01:19] Mermaid Avenue that's the street

[00:01:22] Where the saint and sinners meet

[00:01:25] Where the grey hair meets the wave curls

[00:01:28] Where the cops don't ever sleep

[00:01:31] Where they pay some cops to stop you

[00:01:33] When you hit that Sea Gate gate

[00:01:36] Where them bulls along that wire fence

[00:01:39] Scare the mermaids all away

[00:01:42] Mermaid Avenue that's the street

[00:01:45] Where the sun and storm clouds meet

[00:01:48] Where the ocean meets that rockwall

[00:01:51] Where the boardwalk meets the beach

[00:01:54] Where the prettiest of the maidulas

[00:01:56] Leave their legprints in that sand

[00:01:59] Just beneath our lovesoaked boardwalk

[00:02:02] With the bravest of our lads

[00:02:05] But there's never been a mermaid here

[00:02:08] On Mermaid Avenue

[00:02:10] No I've never seen a mermaid here

[00:02:14] On Mermaid Avenue

[00:02:16] I've seen hags and wags and witches

[00:02:19] And I've seen a shark or two

[00:02:22] My five years that I've lived along

[00:02:25] Old Mermaid's Avenue

[00:02:28] It's five years that we've lived along

[00:02:31] Old Mermaid's Avenue

[00:02:59] Mermaid Avenue that's the street

[00:03:02] Where all colors of goodfolks meet

[00:03:05] Where the smokefish meets the pretzel

[00:03:08] Where the borscht sounds like the seas

[00:03:11] This is where hot Mexican Chili

[00:03:14] Meets Chop Suey and meatballs sweet

[00:03:16] Mermaid Avenue she's a nervous jerk

[00:03:20] But still she's hard to beat

[00:03:25] But there's never been a mermaid here

[00:03:28] On Mermaid Avenue

[00:03:30] No I've never seen a mermaid here

[00:03:34] On Mermaid Avenue

[00:03:36] I've seen hags and wags and witches

[00:03:39] And I've seen a shark or two

[00:03:42] My five years that I've lived along

[00:03:45] Old Mermaid's Avenue

[00:03:48] Is five years that we've lived along

[00:03:51] Old Mermaid's Avenue

[00:03:54] But there's never been a mermaid here

[00:03:57] On Mermaid Avenue

[00:03:59] No I've never never seen a mermaid here

[00:04:02] On Mermaid Avenue

[00:04:05] I've seen hags and wags and witches

[00:04:08] And I've seen a shark or two

[00:04:10] My five years that I've lived along

[00:04:14] Old Mermaid's Avenue

[00:04:16] Is five years that we've lived along

[00:04:20] Old Mermaid's Avenue
