《Warning By Jenny Joseph》歌词:
[00:02.99]When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
[00:05.34]With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
[00:08.64]And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
[00:12.82]And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
[00:16.30]I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
[00:19.50]And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
[00:23.44]And run my stick along the public railings
[00:26.55]And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
[00:29.31]I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
[00:31.81]And pick flowers in other people's gardens
[00:33.25]And learn to spit.
[00:35.55]You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
[00:38.83]And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
[00:41.56]Or only bread and pickle for a week
[00:44.00]And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
[00:48.15]But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
[00:53.36]And pay our rent and not swear in the street
[00:56.13]And set a good example for the children.
[00:58.90]We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
[01:02.85]But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
[01:05.97]So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
[01:10.82]When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

[00:02.99]等成了老太婆,我要穿一身紫袍
[00:05.34]戴一顶不协调、不般配的红帽
[00:08.64]我要把养老金拿来买白兰地和防晒手套
[00:12.82]外加一双缎子鞋,还说我们没钱买黄油
[00:16.30]累了就往马路上一坐
[00:19.50]狼吞虎咽吃商店送的样品,按警报
[00:23.44]边走边拿棍子把公共栏杆刷
[00:26.55]弥补年轻那会儿的清醒
[00:29.31]我要靸着拖鞋去雨里泡
[00:31.81]到别人园子里去采花草
[00:33.25]还要学着吐唾沫
[00:35.55]你可以穿不像样的衬衣,长得更胖
[00:38.83]一口吃下三磅腊肠
[00:41.56]也可以仅用面包和泡菜打发一星期
[00:44.00]把钢笔铅笔酒杯垫子统统藏到箱子里
[00:48.15]可眼下我们必须要衣服保持干爽
[00:53.36]必须交房租,不得在街上骂骂咧咧
[00:56.13]必须为孩子们树立一个好榜样
[00:58.90]我们必须请朋友吃饭,还须看报
[01:02.85]不过或许我现在应该练一会儿?
[01:05.97]这样,等我突然老了,开始穿紫袍
[01:10.82]认识我的人便不至于吓一跳
