The Gifts They Gave - Harry Belafonte (哈里·贝拉方特)

When I was a lad just three foot three

Certain questions occured to me

So I asked me father quite seriously

To tell me the story about the bird and bee

He stammered and he stuttered pathetically

And this is what he said to me

He said the woman piaba

And the man piaba

And the dan dan call back lemon grass

The lilly root gully root belly root ungh

And the famous granny scratch scratch

It was clear as mud but it covered the ground

And the confusion made me brain go round

I went and asked a good friend of mine

Known to the world as Albert Einstein

He said Son from the beginning of time

And creativity there existed the force of relativity

Pi R square and minus ten is rooted only when

Hey the solar system in one light year

Make the Hyden planitarium disapear

So if Mt Everest doesn't move

I am positive that it will prove

That the woman piaba

And the man piaba

And the dan dan coal back lemon grass

The lilly root gully root belly root ungh

And the famous granny scratch scratch

It was clear as mud but it covered the ground

And the confusion made me brain go round

I grabed a boat and went abroad

And in Baden Germany asked Sigmond Fraud

He said Son from your sad face remove the grouch

Put the body up on the couch

I can see from your frustration

A neurotic sublimation

Hey love and hate is psychosomatic

Your rorshac shows that you're a parapathatic

It all started with a broken sibling

In the words of the famous Rudyard Kippling

I been over land and been over sea

Trying to find the answer about the bird and bee

Now that I am ninty-three

I don't give a damn you see

If the woman piaba

And the man piaba

And the dan dan coal back lemon grass

The lilly root gully root belly root ungh

And the famous granny scratch scratch

Well I travel far and I travel wide

And I don't even have meself a bride

All the great men upon this earth

Have confused me since my birth

If the woman piaba

And the man piaba

And the dan dan coal back lemon grass

The lilly root gully root belly root ungh

And the famous granny scratch scratch
