歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Kern, Wodehouse
[00:00.00] From The Beauty Prize (1923 Broadway Musical)
[00:01.00] Music by Jerome Kern
[00:02.00] Lyrics by P. G. Wodehouse
[00:02.69]
[00:03.30] Charles Augustus Chaytor,
[00:04.89] Wireless operator,
[00:06.65] Loved the fair,
[00:07.50] golden hair'd Bessie Magee.
[00:10.15] She lived in Darjeeling
[00:11.69] Avenue, West Ealing;
[00:13.44] He was always out at sea.
[00:17.91] Such was his devotion
[00:19.58] That went on the ocean,
[00:21.22] Ev'ry day,
[00:22.09] he'd relay greetings to Bess.
[00:24.76] But I'm told that sometimes
[00:26.78] There, alas, would come times,
[00:30.62] When he moan'd this S.O.S.:
[00:33.87][Refrain]
[00:35.00] You can't make love by wireless;
[00:38.81] It's like bread without the jam.
[00:42.32] There is nothing girls desire less
[00:45.95] Than a cold Marconi gram.
[00:49.63] For it's something you can't speak to
[00:53.19] From a someone you can't see-
[00:57.44] It's like a village church that's spire-less,
[01:01.61] Or a little home that's fire-less,
[01:05.49] Or a motor car that's tyre-less,
[01:11.15] And it isn't any good to me.
[01:14.51]
[01:16.73] Mark the horrid sequel,
[01:18.36] It is hard to equal;
[01:19.87] Fate with grim,
[01:20.63] tragic whim upset his dream.
[01:23.08] For that maiden fickle
[01:24.67] Wed a man from Crickle-
[01:26.15] -wood who kept a laundry steam.
[01:30.82] Charles, poor man, thus jilted,
[01:32.71] Naturally wilted;
[01:34.33] Soured he grew,
[01:35.21] Gloomy too, quite lost his smile.
[01:38.42] Never more his jokes'll
[01:41.12] Entertain the fo'csle;
[01:44.72] He keeps muttering all the while:
[01:48.39][Refrain]
[01:50.04] You can't make love by wireless;
[01:54.51] It's like eggs without the ham.
[01:58.07] There is nothing girls desire less
[02:02.14] Than a cold Marconi gram.
[02:05.71] For it's something you can't speak to
[02:09.98] From a someone you can't see-
[02:14.43] It's like a village church that's spire-less,
[02:19.08] Or a Selfridges that's buyer-less,
[02:23.91] Or a Pekingese that's sire-less,
[02:35.00] And it isn't any good to me!
