歌词

[00:05.12] I have known little civility, sir
[00:12.88] Few have been kind, fewer truthful
[00:19.15] And though within my ability, sir
[00:25.79] I remain dutifully youthful
[00:31.71] I go gray, then bald, with chagrin
[00:37.77] When you play the violin
[00:42.32] How I pray for death to begin
[00:47.57] When you play the violin
[00:53.78] True, there's been trouble and trickery, sir
[01:03.95] Trembling and tribulations
[01:10.78] Twitches from switches of hickory, sir
[01:17.37] You, sir, and your usurpation
[01:23.55] But my patience wears very thin
[01:29.87] When you play the violin
[01:34.76] How I stay, I can't imagine
[01:39.62] When you play the violin
[01:47.57] I've endured struggling and thuggery, sir
[01:56.71] Physical ed. and psychosis
[02:06.64] Sculleries, skulls, and skullduggeries, sir
[02:16.16] Haplessness, hype and hypnosis
[02:22.65] But, oy vey! The horrible din
[02:27.14] When you play the violin
[02:31.78] You betray an ear made of tin
[02:36.64] When you play, when you slay the violin
