《Give It Back to the Indians (From ’Too Many Girls’)》歌词

[00:00:00] Give It Back to the Indians (From 'Too Many Girls') - Ella Fitzgerald (埃拉·菲茨杰拉德)

[00:00:09] Old peter minuet had nothing to lose

[00:00:13] When he bought the isle of manhatten

[00:00:18] For twenty-six dollars and a bottle of booze

[00:00:22] And they threw in the bronx and staten

[00:00:27] Pete thought that he had the best of the bargin

[00:00:30] But the poor red man just grinned

[00:00:35] And he grunted ugh meaning okay in his jargon

[00:00:39] For he knew poor pete was skinned

[00:00:44] Weve tried to run the city but the city ran away

[00:00:54] And now peter minuet

[00:01:00] We can't continue it

[00:01:06] Broadways turning into coney

[00:01:08] Champagne charlies drinking gin

[00:01:11] Old Newyork is new and phony

[00:01:13] Give it back to the Indians

[00:01:16] Two cents more to smoke a lucky

[00:01:19] Dodging busses keep you thin

[00:01:22] Now Newyork is simply ducky

[00:01:24] Give it back to the Indians

[00:01:26] Take all the reds on the boxes made for soap

[00:01:33] Whites on fifth avenue

[00:01:38] Blues down in wall street losing hope

[00:01:44] Big bargain today chief take it away

[00:01:50] Come you busted city slickers

[00:01:53] Better take it on the chin

[00:01:56] Father nick has lost his knickers

[00:01:58] Give it back to the Indians

[00:02:26] Take all the reds on the boxes made for soap

[00:02:33] Whites on fifth avenue

[00:02:38] Blues down in wall street losing hope

[00:02:44] Big bargain today chief take it away

[00:02:50] Come you busted city slickers

[00:02:53] Better take it on the chin

[00:02:56] Father nick has lost his knickers

[00:02:58] Give it back to the Indians
