《The Irish Ballard》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Ballad - Tom Lehrer

[00:00:09] About a maid I'll sing a song

[00:00:11] Sing rickety tickety tin

[00:00:13] About a maid I'll sing a song

[00:00:15] Who didn't have her family long

[00:00:18] Not only did she do them wrong

[00:00:22] She did every one of them in

[00:00:25] Them in

[00:00:26] She did every one of them in

[00:00:29] One morning in a fit of pique

[00:00:32] Sing rickety tickety tin

[00:00:34] One morning in a fit of pique

[00:00:36] She drowned her father in the creek

[00:00:38] The water tasted bad for a week

[00:00:42] And we had to make do with gin

[00:00:44] With gin

[00:00:46] And we had to make do with gin

[00:00:49] Her mother she could never stand

[00:00:52] Sing rickety tickety tin

[00:00:54] Her mother she could never stand

[00:00:56] And so a cyanide soup she planned

[00:00:59] Her mother died with a spoon in her hand

[00:01:03] And her face in a hideous grin

[00:01:06] A grin

[00:01:08] Her face in a hideous grin

[00:01:11] She set her sister's hair on fire

[00:01:14] Rickety tickety tin

[00:01:16] She set her sister's hair on fire

[00:01:18] And as the smoke and flame rose higher

[00:01:20] Danced around the funeral pyre

[00:01:24] Playin' a violin

[00:01:27] 'Olin

[00:01:28] Playin' a violin

[00:01:31] She weighted her brother down with stones

[00:01:33] Rickety tickety tin

[00:01:35] She weighted her brother down with stones

[00:01:37] And sent him off to Davy Jones

[00:01:39] All they ever found were some bones

[00:01:43] And the occasional pieces of skin

[00:01:46] Of skin

[00:01:47] Occasional pieces of skin

[00:01:51] One day when she had nothing to do

[00:01:53] Rickety tickety tin

[00:01:55] One day when she had nothing to do

[00:01:58] She cut her baby brother in two

[00:02:00] And served him up as an Irish stew

[00:02:03] And invited the neighbors in

[00:02:06] 'Bors in

[00:02:07] Invited the neighbors in

[00:02:11] And when at last the police came by

[00:02:14] Rickety tickety tin

[00:02:16] And when at last the police came by

[00:02:18] Her little pranks she did not deny

[00:02:21] To do so she would have to lie

[00:02:25] And lying she knew was a sin

[00:02:27] A sin

[00:02:29] Lying she knew was a sin

[00:02:34] My tragic tale I won't prolong

[00:02:37] Rickety tickety tin

[00:02:39] My tragic tale I won't prolong

[00:02:41] And if you do not enjoy my song

[00:02:44] You've yourselves to blame if it's too long

[00:02:48] You should never have let me begin

[00:02:51] Begin

[00:02:52] You should never have let me begin
