《The Faucets Are Dripping》歌词

[00:00:00] The Faucets Are Dripping - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:05] The faucets are dripping in old New York City

[00:00:09] The faucets are dripping and oh what a pity

[00:00:12] The reservoir's drying because it's supplying

[00:00:16] The faucets that drip in New York

[00:00:20] You can't ask the land Lord to put in a washer

[00:00:24] He'd rather you move than to put in a washer

[00:00:27] The faucets are dripping they sound in my ears

[00:00:31] The tap in the bathroom's been running for years

[00:00:37] There's a wild streak of green in the sink in the kitchen

[00:00:40] It comes from the rill trickling out of the plumbing

[00:00:44] The streams from the mountains the pools from the lea

[00:00:47] All run from my faucet and down to the sea

[00:00:53] You can't ask the land Lord to put in a washer

[00:00:57] You can't ask the land Lord to mend the old stairs

[00:01:00] He takes in the rents and he lives in Miami

[00:01:04] Where faucets don't drip and there's sun everywheres

[00:01:10] The faucets are dripping the land Lord's content

[00:01:13] With every new tenant he raises the rent

[00:01:16] The buildings can crumble the tenants can cry

[00:01:20] There's a shortage of housing you'll live there or die

[00:01:26] They're building some buildings and New York centers

[00:01:29] It's sure working hard on the low income renters

[00:01:32] They're jammed into rooms with the rat and the fly

[00:01:35] Where faucets all drip and the floor's never dry

[00:01:40] The faucets are dripping in old New York City

[00:01:43] The faucets are dripping and oh what a pity

[00:01:46] The reservoir's drying because it's supplying

[00:01:50] The faucets that drip in New York
