Banquet (LP Version)歌词

歌手:Joni Mitchell 专辑:For The Roses

Come to the dinner gong

The table is laden high

Fat bellies and hungry little ones

Tuck your napkins in
And take your share

Some get the gravy

And some get the gristle

Some get the marrow bone

And some get nothing

Though there's plenty to spare

I took my share down by the sea

Paper plates and javex bottles on the tide

Seagulls come down
And they squawk at me

Down where the water skiers glide

Some turn to jesus

And some turn to h****n

Some turn to rambling round

Looking for a clean sky

And a drinking stream

Some watch the paint peel off

Some watch their kids grow up

Some watch their stocks and bonds

Waiting for that big deal
American dream

I took my dream down by the sea

Yankee yachts and lobster pots and sunshine

And logs and sails

And shell oil pails

Dogs and tugs and summertime

Back in the banquet line

Angry young people crying

Who let the greedy in

And who left the needy out

Who made this salty soup

Tell him we're very hungry now
For a sweeter fare

In the cookie I read

Some get the gravy

And some get the gristle

Some get the marrow bone

And some get nothing
Though there's plenty to spare
