Song | On The Nickel |
Artist | Tom Waits |
Album | Heartattack And Vine |
作词 : Waits | |
sticks and stones will break my bones, but i always will be true, and when | |
your mama is dead and gone, i'll sing this lullabye just for you, and what | |
becomes of all the little boys, who never comb their hair, well they're lined | |
up all around the block, on the nickel over there. | |
so you better bring a bucket, there is a hole in the pail, and if you don't | |
get my letter, then you'll know that i'm in jail, and what becomes of all the | |
little boys, who never say their prayers, well they're sleepin' like a baby, | |
on the nickel over there. | |
and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star, well you'll find out where | |
the scarecrows sit, just like punchlines between the cars, and i know a place | |
where a royal flush, can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson, is on | |
the nickel over there. | |
so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain, and you're always | |
late for supper, and man you let me down again, i thought i heard a | |
mockingbird, roosevelt knows where, you can skip the light, with grady tuck, | |
on the nickel over there. | |
so what becomes of all the little boys, who run away from home, well the | |
world just keeps gettin' bigger, once you get out on your own, so here's to | |
all the little boys, the sandman takes you where, you'll be sleepin' with a | |
pillowman, on the nickel over there. | |
so let's climb up through that button hole, and we'll fall right up the | |
stairs, and i'll show you where the short dogs grow, on the nickel over there. |
