I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. 生在有钱人家里 Then, I seemed to grow up over night. One day, at the crack of dawn, 起得早 I got up with the chicken, then hunt the job. 起得早(因为鸡起得早) I got a job slinging hash. 找了个不重要的活 They were shorthanded But I couldn' t cut the mustard. 最简单的也做不了 So, the guy gave me the gate. 被开除了 So I went back to my little hole in the wall 回到自己的小房间 I was beside myself with an anger Then, I decided to get a train ticket to Texas. and there make some dollars punching a cow. 就是放牛之类的活 From there I flew to Chicago, there, a beautiful girl stepped into the picture Our eyes met. My breath came in short pants. And I got goose pimples. 由于激动,身上起疙瘩; I was all thumbs. 因为fall in love Mary' s clothes fit her like a glove. 衣服很贴身 And she looked mighty pretty and her hair was done up in a bun 就是那种盘起来的发型 She had good-lookin' pins too. Finaly, she gives me a date. I put on my white tie on the tails, and brother, bit she put on the dog. (就是穿的注意) We went around together for sometime. Painted the town red, 在城里到处转转个遍 Going to the stork club and a box in the opera After the opera, I had a cocktail, and Mary had a Moscow mule. 也是一种高级酒 At dinner, Mary let her hair down, pand ate like a horse. By then my money was runing out of me so I write the check, it bounce 支票没有通过验证 brother, I was really in a pickle. 我遇上麻烦了 drew a gun on me, 拿枪来威胁我 but I gave him the slip, 我溜走了 and hid in the foothills (foothill就是小山) In no time the law was on my heels. at the wittness stand the judge tried to pump me. 法官盘问我信息 But it seemed that every time I opened my mouth I put my foot in it. 每次张嘴,都没有解释清楚 So it set me up the river, 进监狱 the door straight to the jar. 还是进监狱 I was up against it, and thought myself go into a part.????? But I raised a big stink. 我抱怨很多* ? and they finally let me talk to an undercover man. 终于跟便衣警察谈起来 After going to a rather red tape 这里red tape就是很多的文件,就像买房的时候要签一堆文件一样+ ? he sprung me 把我放了 and it sure felt good to stretch my legs again Then I went staight to the bus station, and caught a greyhound 这里的一个有名的长途车公司 Iand I' d arriven I' dropped in a Mary. And threw myself at her feet. I asked her to marry me,! but she turned her back on me, and got on her high horse 她很势力不搭理我 (因为我进监狱过) I couldn' t touch her with a 10 foot pole. 同上 She wouldn' t say a word. guess the cat had her tongue. 很安静 So, I walked out on her. After that, I went to the piece. Feeling lonely, I went down the Joe' s malt shop, (joe's malt shop就是喝酒的地方)) where a bunch of the boys were hangin' around And the music was nice, the guy at the piano played by ear. I felt the tug at my elbow (就是有人动我的胳膊肘子,想要跟我交谈) It was a ????

(chisel in就是interrupt) But the guy got in my hair So I left. Outside it was raining cats and dogs. I was feeling mighty blue. And everything looked black. But I carried on & I. I went to the Thousand Island. (加勒比海的一个岛) There I became a beachcomber (整天躺在海滩上无所事事的人) But I still thought of Mary,! And a tear ran down my cheek So I sent her a cable. (就是telegram) Next day she sent me back a wire.
