Old peter minuet had nothing to lose
老彼得小步舞曲已经一无所有
When he bought the isle of manhatten
当他买下曼哈腾岛时
For twenty-six dollars and a bottle of booze
花二十六美元买一瓶酒
And they threw in the bronx and staten
他们给我买了布朗克斯和斯塔腾
Pete thought that he had the best of the bargin
皮特以为他有最好的武器
But the poor red man just grinned
可那个可怜的红脸男人只是微微一笑
And he grunted ugh meaning okay in his jargon
他哼了一声用他的行话来说就是好的意思
For he knew poor pete was skinned
因为他知道可怜的皮特被剥了皮
Weve tried to run the city but the city ran away
我们试着掌控这座城市可这城市落荒而逃
And now peter minuet
现在是彼得小步舞曲
We can't continue it
我们不能再这样下去
Broadways turning into coney
大道变成康尼
Champagne charlies drinking gin
香槟姑娘喝着杜松子酒
Old new york is new and phony
旧纽约焕然一新虚假无比
Give it back to the indians
还给印第安人
Two cents more to smoke a lucky
再加两分钱抽一根好烟
Dodging busses keep you thin
躲避枪林弹雨让你保持苗条的身材
Now new york is simply ducky
现在纽约简直就是一片混乱
Give it back to the indians
还给印第安人
Take all the reds on the boxes made for soap
把装肥皂的盒子里的红酒全部拿走
Whites on fifth avenue
第五大道的白人
Blues down in wall street losing hope
布鲁斯在华尔街沉沦失去希望
Big bargain today chief take it away
今天赚得盆满钵满大老板拿走吧
Come you busted city slickers
来吧你们这些狡猾的家伙
Better take it on the chin
最好小心点
Father nick has lost his knickers
尼克神父丢了他的内裤
Give it back to the indians
还给印第安人
Take all the reds on the boxes made for soap
把装肥皂的盒子里的红酒全部拿走
Whites on fifth avenue
第五大道的白人
Blues down in wall street losing hope
布鲁斯在华尔街沉沦失去希望
Big bargain today chief take it away
今天赚得盆满钵满大老板拿走吧
Come you busted city slickers
来吧你们这些狡猾的家伙
Better take it on the chin
最好小心点
Father nick has lost his knickers

Give it back to the indians
还给印第安人
