《The Ivy Covered Walls》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ivy Covered Walls - Harry Nilsson (哈利·尼尔森)

[00:00:01] Just behind the ivy covered walls

[00:00:07] We used to walk the Ivy leaguer walls

[00:00:15] We used to share an Ivy leaguer look

[00:00:22] But (we lost it with the chemicals that we took)

[00:00:28] Now the good books in the library look better every day

[00:00:36] And the dean and all his bribery took our faith in him away

[00:00:47] So we wandered through the garden by the ivy covered walls

[00:00:55] And we waited for the magic where the sleepy nighttime falls

[00:01:03] But the books we learned to love so much were very hard to read

[00:01:11] So we hunted for a light just a light was all we'd need

[00:01:21] Then we saw a glow not far away

[00:01:25] Just a stones throw you might say

[00:01:28] And we headed for the light we saw

[00:01:32] We knew would lead the way

[00:01:38] And the light shone through the window of a handsome hansel house

[00:01:45] And we peeked inside the window (quiet) as a mouse

[00:01:55] On the table near the fire was a book we all had read

[00:02:03] With a cover so familiar not another word was said

[00:02:11] So we threw away the chemicals and we strolled back through the night

[00:02:18] And we climbed the ivy covered walls (and the we said goodnight) that's right

[00:02:27] Now the next day we were back inside the crowded hallowed halls

[00:02:35] And one of us had scribbled something silly on the walls

[00:02:43] He never said he did it but it might have been us all

[00:02:49] It was the title of the book we'd seen he'd written on the wall

[00:03:00] A private joke to us perhaps - 'What's the title ' - you ask

[00:03:09] It was simply: 'Throw away those chemicals or '
