[00:00.000]	作词 : Traditional
[00:01.000]	作曲 : Traditional
[00:04.320]	I was born about 10,000 years ago
[00:08.072]	There’s nothing in this world I do not know
[00:12.066]	I saw Peter Paul and Moses
[00:14.074]	playing ring around the roses
[00:16.327]	I’ll lick the guy who says it isn’t so
[00:23.829]	I was there when Gabriel search the garden over
[00:27.819]	saw Adam and Eve flying from the door
[00:31.569]	And behind the bushes peeping
[00:33.820]	I saw the apple they were eating
[00:36.317]	And I'll swear that I'm the guy that ate the core
[00:43.076]	I saw Cain and Abel playing in the glade
[00:47.261]	I'm certain it was poker that they played
[00:50.751]	But at one point there is a rub
[00:53.005]	That he hit him with a club
[00:54.745]	or perhaps it was a diamond or a spade
[01:02.245]	I saw Solomon and all his wives so fair
[01:06.496]	I saw Absalom hanging by the hair
[01:10.004]	And when I saved King David's life
[01:12.254]	And he offered me a wife
[01:14.260]	I said "Now you're talking business have a chair."
[01:21.496]	I was present when they stopped up Caesar's gore
[01:25.755]	and the Senators went skating around the floor
[01:28.999]	It was I who swiped the Crown
[01:31.246]	That he foolishly turned down
[01:33.255]	And I hocked it in a shop on Bleaklow Moor
[01:40.755]	I made affairs with Empress Josephine
[01:44.497]	I regret to state the fact that I was seen
[01:48.755]	So I fought a duel that day
[01:50.253]	with Napoleon and then
[01:52.506]	I popped him through the bosom with a bean
[02:00.196]	Then I sailed with Cleopatra on the Nile
[02:04.392]	One day she whispered to me with a smile
[02:07.399]	"Now as for Mark Antony
[02:09.654]	I have always thought he was a phony
[02:11.891]	but honey I'm stuck on you a pile"
[02:19.390]	I was born about 10,000 years ago
[02:22.897]	There’s nothing in this world I do not know
[02:26.391]	I saw Peter Paul and Moses
[02:28.642]	playing ring around the roses
[02:30.897]	I’ll lick the guy who says it isn’t so

歌词翻译

[00:04.320]	我出生于大约一万年前
[00:08.072]	这世上没有什么是我不知道的
[00:12.066]	我看见彼得、保罗和摩西一起
[00:14.074]	玩“围着玫瑰转圈”的游戏
[00:16.327]	谁要说不信我就揍他一顿
[00:23.829]	当加百列搜索伊甸园时我就在场
[00:27.819]	我看着亚当和夏娃被逐出大门
[00:31.569]	我甚至还躲在灌木丛中窥视到
[00:33.820]	他们偷食知善恶树上的禁果
[00:36.317]	我发誓那支果核就是我吃掉的
[00:43.076]	我曾看见该隐和亚伯（亚当夏娃的长子和次子）在树荫下游戏
[00:47.261]	我非常确定他们当时玩的是扑克牌
[00:50.751]	但有一次他们俩人起了摩擦
[00:53.005]	该隐用一根木棒将亚伯杀害
[00:54.745]	不过也可能用的是块金刚石或者铁锹
[01:02.245]	我见过所罗门王和他那一千位漂亮的妻子
[01:06.496]	我看见阿贝沙隆（即押沙龙，大卫王的第三子）被自己的头发挂在橡树枝上
[01:10.004]	我当年救下大卫王一命的时候
[01:12.254]	他曾说要许配一位女子给我
[01:14.260]	我回答说：要谈生意的话先请坐吧
[01:21.496]	凯撒遇刺的时候我也在场
[01:25.755]	我看着元老们纷纷逃离现场
[01:28.999]	就是我趁乱偷走了那顶
[01:31.246]	凯撒生前愚蠢地回绝掉的王冠
[01:33.255]	后来我在布莱克洛高沼（位于英格兰德比郡）的一家商店将它卖掉
[01:40.755]	我曾和约瑟芬皇后偷欢
[01:44.497]	我不得不承认我当时被发现了
[01:48.755]	所以我那天和拿破仑
[01:50.253]	进行了一场决斗
[01:52.506]	我用一颗豆子打穿了他的胸膛
[02:00.196]	我还和埃及艳后一起在尼罗河上泛舟
[02:04.392]	一天她微笑着对我耳语说：
[02:07.399]	“说起马克·安东尼，
[02:09.654]	我一直都觉得他是个骗子。
[02:11.891]	但亲爱的，我对你可是真心的啊。”
[02:19.390]	是的，我真的生于一万年前
[02:22.897]	这世上发生过的事儿我都清楚
[02:26.391]	我看着彼得、保罗和摩西一起
[02:28.642]	玩着“围着玫瑰转圈”的游戏
[02:30.897]	谁再敢说不信我就再揍他一顿
