You Can't Make Love by Wireless-Sylvia McNair

[00:00.00]From The Beauty Prize (1923 Broadway Musical) [00:00.000] 作曲 : Kern, Wodehouse [00:01.00]Music by Jerome Kern [00:02.00]Lyrics by P. G. Wodehouse [00:02.69] [00:03.30]Charles Augustus Chaytor, [00:04.89]Wireless operator, [00:06.65]Loved the fair, [00:07.50]golden hair'd Bessie Magee. [00:10.15]She lived in Darjeeling [00:11.69]Avenue, West Ealing; [00:13.44]He was always out at sea. [00:17.91]Such was his devotion [00:19.58]That went on the ocean, [00:21.22]Ev'ry day, [00:22.09]he'd relay greetings to Bess. [00:24.76]But I'm told that sometimes [00:26.78]There, alas, would come times, [00:30.62]When he moan'd this S.O.S.: [00:33.87][Refrain] [00:35.00]You can't make love by wireless; [00:38.81]It's like bread without the jam. [00:42.32]There is nothing girls desire less [00:45.95]Than a cold Marconi gram. [00:49.63]For it's something you can't speak to [00:53.19]From a someone you can't see- [00:57.44]It's like a village church that's spire-less, [01:01.61]Or a little home that's fire-less, [01:05.49]Or a motor car that's tyre-less, [01:11.15]And it isn't any good to me. [01:14.51] [01:16.73]Mark the horrid sequel, [01:18.36]It is hard to equal; [01:19.87]Fate with grim, [01:20.63]tragic whim upset his dream. [01:23.08]For that maiden fickle [01:24.67]Wed a man from Crickle- [01:26.15]-wood who kept a laundry steam. [01:30.82]Charles, poor man, thus jilted, [01:32.71]Naturally wilted; [01:34.33]Soured he grew, [01:35.21]Gloomy too, quite lost his smile. [01:38.42]Never more his jokes'll [01:41.12]Entertain the fo'csle; [01:44.72]He keeps muttering all the while: [01:48.39][Refrain] [01:50.04]You can't make love by wireless; [01:54.51]It's like eggs without the ham. [01:58.07]There is nothing girls desire less [02:02.14]Than a cold Marconi gram. [02:05.71]For it's something you can't speak to [02:09.98]From a someone you can't see- [02:14.43]It's like a village church that's spire-less, [02:19.08]Or a Selfridges that's buyer-less, [02:23.91]Or a Pekingese that's sire-less, [02:35.00]And it isn't any good to me!
