《The Collar and the Garter》歌词

[00:01:39] The Collar And The Garter - Stephin Merritt

[00:01:39] He speaks as sweetly as he can

[00:01:39] But words do not enthrall her

[00:01:39] They dance around the washing-pan

[00:01:39] The collar and the garter

[00:01:39] He tartly starts up repartee

[00:01:39] But her retorts are smarter

[00:01:39] She will not name a wedding day

[00:01:39] The garter and the collar

[00:01:39] So to and fro, and so they dance

[00:01:39] The collar and the garter

[00:01:39] He swears, if he should lose his love

[00:01:39] Then love will gain a martyr

[00:01:39] They part, and that's the story of

[00:01:39] The garter and the collar

[00:01:39] He keeps his braggadocio

[00:01:39] Through years of fall and squalor

[00:01:39] And toasts the maid who loved him so

[00:01:39] The collar and the garter
