The Fox, The Crow And The Cookie LRC歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Michael Weiss/Richard Mazzotta/Aaron Weiss/Greg Jehanian

[00:00.000]Through mostly vacant streets

[00:02.993]A baker from the out-skirts of his town

[00:06.287]Earned his living pedaling sweets from a ragged cart he dragged around

[00:11.181]The clever fox crept close behind

[00:14.212]Kept an ever watchful eye

[00:16.254]For a chance to steal a ginger spicecake

[00:19.071]Or a boysenberry pie

[00:26.883]Looking down was the hungry crow:

[00:29.929]"When the time is right, I'll strike

[00:32.004]And condescend to the earth below

[00:34.554]And take whichever treat I'd like"

[00:37.123]The moment the baker turned around

[00:39.646]To shoo the fox off from his cart

[00:42.437]The crow swooped down

[00:43.717]And snatched a shortbread cookie and a German chocolate tart

[00:47.954]Using most unfriendly words

[00:49.996]That the village children had not yet heard

[00:52.775]The baker shouted threats by canzonet to curse the crafty bird

[00:58.116]"You rotten wooden mixing spoon!

[01:00.635]Why, you midnight winged raccoon!

[01:03.460]You better bring those pastries back

[01:05.779]you no good, burnt,-black macaroon!"

[01:18.812]The fox approached the tree

[01:20.528]Where the bird was perched, delighted in his nest

[01:23.602]"Brother Crow, don't you remember me?

[01:26.138]It's your old friend Fox with a humble request

[01:28.944]If you could share just a modest piece

[01:31.511]Seeing as I distracted that awful man"

[01:34.024]This failed to persuade the crow in the least

[01:36.817]So the fox rethought his plan

[01:39.318]"Then if your lovely song would grace my ears

[01:42.116]Or to even to hear you speak

[01:44.646]Would ease my pains and fears!"

[01:46.670]The crow looked down with the candy in his beak

[01:49.745]"Your pearls of wisdom, my good crow

[01:52.484]What a paradise they bring!"

[01:54.757]This flattery pleased the proud bird so

[01:57.861]He opened his mouth and began to sing:

[02:00.159]"Your subtle acclamation's true

[02:02.733]Best to give praise where praise is due

[02:05.514]Every rook and jay in the Corvidae

[02:08.496]Has been Raven about me too

[02:10.792]They admire me, one and all

[02:13.090]Must be the passion in my 'caw'

[02:15.588]My slender bill known through the escadrille

[02:18.638]My fierce commanding claw!"

[02:22.225](The cookie drops, the fox retrieves it

[02:25.526]There is commotion in the town

[02:28.578]As the baker gives chase

[02:31.387]The crow is humiliated

[02:33.954]Realizes he's been tricked

[02:36.429]Continues his song)

[02:41.536]"Ah, I've got a Walnut-brownie-brain

[02:44.313]And molasses in my veins

[02:47.103]Crushed graham cracker crust

[02:49.416]My powdered sugar funnel cake cocaine

[02:52.229]Let the crescent cookie rise

[02:54.542]These carob-colored almond eyes

[02:57.074]Would rest to see my cashew princess

[02:59.885]In the swirling marble sky

[03:02.742]And we'll rest upon the knee

[03:05.048]Where all divisions cease to be

[03:07.369]A root-beer float, in our banana boat

[03:10.141]Across the tapioca sea

[03:12.950]When letting all attachments go

[03:15.481]Is the only prayer we know

[03:18.548]May it be so, may it be so, may it be so
