[00:00.00] 作曲 : Jake Thackray
[00:07.17] I stayed off work all day the day I met you, darling, and instead
[00:11.16] We spent the morning in the park and the afternoon in bed.
[00:14.22] But by the teatime we were hungry, I went to shop for you.
[00:18.06] The butcher took a fiver for a porterhouse for two.
[00:21.42] I'll be blowed! I'll be blowed!
[00:23.37] The butcher was a twister!
[00:24.93] I'll be damned! I'll be damned!
[00:26.58] He only gave us change of a quid.
[00:28.50] I was done, I was done:
[00:30.42] The porterhouse was brisket.
[00:32.01] He says: 'Open up your eyes,' he says,
[00:33.96] "And learn to do as I did."
[00:35.85] 'Open up your eyes,' he says,
[00:37.41] 'And learn to do as I did.'
[00:38.76] They can do me, do me, darling; I have nothing else to lose.
[00:42.39] Him and his poxy porterhouse can cheat me if they choose.
[00:45.84] They can do me, do me, do me, do me, darling, as they do;
[00:49.71] The pussyfooting butcherman would laugh aloud if he knew
[00:52.92] That since you took my eyes, they do not do as others' do.
[01:03.54] The day before your birthday I was miserably broke,
[01:07.11] Mooching up a ginnel, when this military bloke
[01:10.11] Comes up and says he'll give us a sub to buy a flower or two for you.
[01:13.62] He hands me down a shilling and I signs an I.O.U.
[01:17.25] I'll be blowed! I'll be blowed!
[01:19.23] The soldier was a scoundrel!
[01:20.85] I'll be damned! I'll be damned!
[01:22.56] And the shilling was a dud.
[01:24.30] I was done, I was done:
[01:26.28] I'd joined the sodding army.
[01:27.81] 'With a rifle in your hand,' he says,
[01:29.82] 'You'll do as everyone would.
[01:31.56] A rifle in your hand and you
[01:33.15] Will do as everyone would.'
[01:34.80] They can do me, do me, darling; I have nothing else to lose.
[01:38.67] Him and his piffling rifle can dragoon me if they choose.
[01:41.76] They can do me, do me, darling, they can do me as they do;
[01:45.36] The scoundrel of a corporal would chuckle if he knew
[01:48.81] That since you held my hand it does not do as others' do.
[01:59.16] I was trained at scaling obstacles and marching every day
[02:02.70] I got good enough to scale the barracks wall and march away
[02:06.12] But the bloodhounds came and got me and they said, if I confessed,
[02:09.75] The justice of the peace would smile on me and do his best.
[02:13.08] I'll be blowed! I'll be blowed!
[02:15.06] The magistrate was bogey!
[02:16.65] I'll be damned! I'll be damned!
[02:18.27] He usually gave a year or two.
[02:20.22] I was done, I was done:
[02:21.81] He did his best and gave me twenty.
[02:23.67] 'With a chain about your feet,' he says,
[02:25.68] 'You'll do as others do.
[02:27.45] A chain about your feet,' he says,
[02:29.10] 'Now do as others do.'
[02:30.63] They can do me, do me, darling; I have nothing else to lose.
[02:34.65] Him and his pettifoggery can shackle me if they choose.
[02:37.65] They can do me, do me, do me, do me, darling, as they do;
[02:41.22] The tricky old juridical would snicker if he knew
[02:44.61] That since you kissed my feet they do not do as others' do.
[02:55.29] A bishop came to see me as I languished in the cell;
[02:59.01] Give us a blessing and asked if I was short of anything else.
[03:02.04] And I said that I was thirsty so he went and got a cup;
[03:05.82] Looks at me and nods and I politely drink it up.
[03:08.97] I'll be blowed! I'll be blowed!
[03:10.95] The bishop was a rascal!
[03:12.54] I'll be damned! I'll be damned!
[03:14.16] And him a bishop if you please.
[03:16.08] I was done, I was done:
[03:17.82] In the cup was holy water.
[03:19.53] 'You're a Christian, now, you are,' he says,
[03:21.51] 'So down upon your knees.
[03:23.40] Now a proper Christian, so down upon your knees.'
[03:26.55] They can do me, do me, darling; I have nothing else to lose.
[03:30.09] Him and his holy water trick can save me if they choose.
[03:33.54] They can do me, do me, do me, do me, darling, as they do;
[03:37.17] The rascally episcopal would giggle if he knew
[03:40.62] That since you touched my knees they do not do as others' do.
[03:51.18] And then a bony angel, with a hammer and some wings,
[03:54.48] Came and said that I could see you again if I went to live with him.
[03:57.72] So I said yes, and so he hit me with his hammer a time or two;
[04:01.26] He took me to his mansion, on the doorstep there was you.
[04:04.80] I'll be blowed! I'll be blowed!
[04:06.78] The angel was a bounder!
[04:08.37] I'll be damned! I'll be damned!
[04:10.32] He took you up the stairs.
[04:11.97] I was done, I was done:
[04:13.56] He threw me down the boilerhouse.
[04:15.63] 'There's one born every minute,' he says,
[04:17.34] 'We keep 'em all in there.
[04:19.20] One born every minute" he says,
[04:20.67] 'And we keep 'em all down there.'
[04:22.20] They can do me, do me, darling; I have nothing else to lose.
[04:26.13] Him and his crematorium can grill me if they choose.
[04:29.25] They can do me, do me, do me, do me, darling, as they do,
[04:32.88] The dangerous old angelface would frown a bit if he knew
[04:36.27] That since you took me in I do not do as others do.
