The Enchanted Train-Sylvia McNair

[00:00.00]From Sitting Pretty(1924), Act II [00:00.000] 作曲 : Kern, Wodehouse [00:00.56]Book by Guy Bolton [00:01.41]Music by Jerome Kern [00:02.37]Lyrics by P. G. Wodehouse [00:03.58] [00:05.35]There's a train that pulls out [00:07.30]in the twilight; [00:08.64]Quite the best on the list [00:10.31]of all trains that exist [00:11.48]For it brings the commuters home. [00:13.91]When the stars up above [00:15.50]shed their shy light, [00:16.95]Happy men come again [00:18.53]Back to fair Flushing Main, [00:20.00]Auburndale, Little Neck, Plandome. [00:23.25]Every day, if you are that way [00:26.17]When shades of night are falling, [00:30.36]You can hear gentle voices a-calling, [00:33.48]"All aboard, please! [00:35.53]All aboard, please! [00:37.50]All aboard, all aboard." [00:43.53] [00:44.35]Dear magic train [00:46.31]that brings you home again, [00:49.00]How I shall wish it could fly! [00:52.74]How shall I worry [00:54.94]and want it to hurry [00:56.40]And stare at the clock [00:58.35]as the minutes crawl by! [01:01.00]Down at the gate [01:02.83]I shall listen and wait, [01:04.97]Oh! How excited I'll be! [01:08.51]And how I'll cheer it [01:10.00]each night when I hear it [01:12.30]Bringing you back to me! [01:15.18]It's quite a humble train, you know, [01:17.40]And some folks grumble that it's slow. [01:19.30]It stops to ponder now and then. [01:21.29]The air inside needs oxygen. [01:23.24]It's not like some trains known to fame, [01:25.28]But it's enchanted just the same. [01:27.20]It bumps as though the wheels were flat [01:29.00]It rattles, too, but what of that? [01:32.58]Every bump and every jump [01:34.70]Seem but to whisper clearer, [01:39.45]"Getting near, getting near, [01:41.33]getting nearer! [01:42.50]Soon be home now! [01:44.28]Soon be home now! [01:45.42]Soon be home! [01:48.77]Soon be home!" [01:51.45] [01:52.33]Dear magic train, [01:54.04]hear it sing that refrain: [01:56.65]"Near, getting near, getting near!" [02:00.80]But while I'm in it [02:02.73]I'll feel that each minute [02:04.85]is just about six times [02:06.41]as long as a year [02:08.48]If cruel fate [02:10.80]made me one second late, [02:12.58]Goodness knows what I would do! [02:16.24]No train could be [02:18.12]quick enough to suit me [02:19.46]When I'm coming back to you! [02:23.10]Dear magic train, [02:24.69]hear it sing that refrain: [02:26.41]"Near, getting near, getting near!" [02:29.92]But while I'm in it [02:31.67]I'll feel that each minute [02:33.03]Is just about six times [02:35.16]as long as a year. [02:36.48]If cruel fate [02:38.25]made me one second late, [02:40.00]Goodness knows what I would do! [02:43.21]No train could be [02:44.74]quick enough to suit me [02:46.00]When I'm coming back to you! [02:49.55]No train could be [02:50.84]quick enough to suit me [02:52.40]When I'm coming back [02:54.30]I'm coming back [02:55.56]I'm coming back to you! [03:03.00]
