Mr. Cole Won't Rock And Roll-Nat King Cole

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Joe Sherman/Noel Sherman [00:06.815]Once upon a time a song had melody and rhyme [00:10.464]And lovely ballads used to fill the air! [00:15.837]The songs were sweet and lyrical, [00:17.986]And sang about the miracle [00:20.977]Of love in bloom and love beyond despair. [00:24.885]But gone are the June songs, [00:27.310]The how-high-the-moon songs. [00:30.212]And baritones who used to sing romantic [00:36.665]Are singing songs more frantic than romantic. [00:49.921]A-one, a-two, a-three o’clock, a-four o’clock rock. [00:52.988]You gotta sing rock or else you go in hock. [00:56.281]Five, a-six, a-seven o’clock, a-eight o’clock roll. [00:59.645]Throw away your senses and your self-control. [01:02.396]But brother I’ve got news, [01:05.117]Mr. Cole won’t rock and roll! [01:08.989]There some simple rules, some don’ts and dos [01:11.932]If you want to sell a record, stick to rumpus’ old shoes [01:15.643]Dungarees, bubble gum, peroxide side hair [01:18.908]Not a day dream, girl, it’s a real nightmare [01:21.159]But no no no, [01:23.544]Mr. Cole won’t rock and roll! [01:30.993]Now when a guy has got an eye for some tomatah [01:45.111]He would never dare, to call her lady fair, [01:46.118]If he doesn’t call his girl an alligator [01:52.336]He’s the lowest form of human [01:54.993]He’s a square… [01:57.467]Now when tin-pan alley serenades a beauty [02:04.509]Do they sing of Rosemarie or sweet Lorraine? [02:10.550]No, they dedicate a hymn to tutti-frutti [02:22.159]Who’s as tender as a dame from Micky Spillane [02:34.532]Ahoohwah oohwah, ahoohwah oohwah, ahoohwah oohwah, [02:44.839]Why do foo-ools fall in lo-ove? [02:48.243]Ahoohwah oohwah, ahoohwah oohwah, ahoohwah oohwah, [02:58.409]Cookie, go park the car. [03:02.883](You know, I often wondered if Rock and Roll had been out quite a few years ago, whether some of the songs that were popular then, might have sounded a wee bit like this…) [03:15.113]Pretend your sloppy when your blue ooh ooh ooh ooh [03:21.343]Some beat-up dungarees will do ooh ooh ooh ooh [03:27.987](Or perhaps…) [03:29.708]Answer me, daddy-oh, [03:36.115]Does your mother come from Kokomo [03:40.425]All she ever says is go go go [03:44.279]Forget it, daddy-oh [03:46.189]They (they) [03:48.756]A they tried (they tried) [03:51.164]A they tried a to (they tried a to) [03:52.894]A they tried a to tell (they tried a to tell) [03:54.931]A they tried a to tell us (what?) [03:58.051]They tried to tell us we’re too young [04:05.473]To go ste-eh-eady my lo-ove [04:10.933]Eady, my lo-ove [04:20.827]Talk to me Mona, whisper in my ear [04:25.849]I said, talk to me Mona, whisper in my ear [04:31.727]Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, you’re to wholesome [04:37.516]Won’t you dig me at the coffee house tonight [04:43.606]Many cats have been drug on your doorstep [04:49.178]They just lie there, and they die there! [04:56.002]Let’m lie there, let’m die there! [05:01.069]Oh Mona, don’t be mean, let’s make the scene tonight. [05:08.341](And we can’t forget this one by all means…) [05:11.533]There was a cat [05:14.967]A very strange enchanted cat [05:18.985]They say he traveled very far [05:22.582]Played guitar [05:24.643]In his hopped-up car. [05:27.427]He said, come dwell, [05:31.169]In heartbreak hotel. [05:34.581]I think Elvis was his name. [05:43.143]And then one day, [05:46.290]The crazy day he passed my way, [05:50.386]And while we spoke of many things, [05:54.475]Hot rod kings, [05:56.180]Daddy-oh said he. [06:00.376]The greatest thing, [06:06.185]You’ll ever learn, [06:13.260]Is just to rock and be rolled in return! [06:27.783]I said a-one, a-two, a-three o’clock, a-four o’clock rock. [06:30.898]You gotta sing rock or else you go in hock. [06:33.719]Five, a-six, a-seven o’clock, a-eight o’clock roll. [06:36.767]Throw away your senses and your self-control. [06:39.375]But brother I’ve got news, sir [06:42.713]Nathaniel must refuse ya, [06:45.550]Mr. Cole [06:47.643]Won’t rock and roll! [07:11.797](What, what am I doin’? I got carried away over there…) [07:14.422]I’ve got news, sir [07:16.790]Nathaniel must refuse ya, [07:19.661]Mr. Cole [07:21.604]Won’t rock and roll!
