[00:00.00]I'd Rather Charleston - George Gershwin (乔治·格什温)
[00:11.30]I've seen for days that you've got
[00:13.14]The ways that must be checked
[00:15.76]In you I never can detect
[00:18.55]The slightest signs of intellect
[00:22.41]Your mad on dances
[00:23.53]Think of the chances you neglect
[00:26.46]You never seem inclined to use your mind
[00:30.05]And it's quite plain to see
[00:33.02]That I'm the brains of the family
[00:38.93]Take a lesson from me
[00:40.86]I'd rather Charleston
[00:42.51]Charleston
[00:44.24]Think of what you might be
[00:46.25]I'd rather Charleston
[00:47.97]Charleston
[00:49.59]I'm disappointed in you and your ways
[00:55.14]I'm double-jointed
[00:57.05]There's no sensation like syncopation
[01:00.24]Will you let me know why
[01:02.36]I'd rather Charleston
[01:04.15]Charleston
[01:05.78]That's the sort of thing I would never do
[01:09.67]So leave it behind
[01:11.80]And give your mind to something new
[01:15.62]I'd rather Charleston
[01:17.25]Charleston Charleston with you
[01:21.42]Your way of living soon will be giving me a pain
[01:25.56]You just repeat that same refrain
[01:28.26]You use your feet and not your brain
[01:32.19]Something has got you
[01:34.02]I don't know what you hope to gain
[01:36.83]And after all I've done
[01:39.34]It's not much fun to have to have a Sister who's
[01:43.47]Got her brain in her dancing shoes
[01:48.90]So take a lesson from me
[01:50.92]I'd rather Charleston
[01:52.89]Charleston
[01:54.66]When you're older you'll see
[01:56.83]I'd rather Charleston
[01:58.33]Charleston
[01:59.75]The great improvements I looked for in you
[02:05.17]I like improvements
[02:07.64]They make new plastic just like elastic
[02:10.35]Say don't you ever keep cool
[02:12.84]I'd rather Charleston
[02:14.52]Oh no that's the sort of thing silly people do
[02:20.14]Hey haven't you read
[02:22.34]What Lincoln said in sixty-two
[02:24.04]Ye-a-a-a-h-h-h
[02:25.19]Well what'd he say
[02:26.20]I'd rather Charleston
[02:28.07]Charleston Charleston with you
[02:31.31]Not me
