Napoleon's a pastry
拿破仑不过是块甜点
Bismarck is a herring
俾斯麦终成腌鲱鱼干
Alexander's a crème de cocoa mixed with rum
亚历山大大帝啊 不过是掺了朗姆的可可奶油
And herbie hoover is a vacu um
胡佛总统沦为吸尘器的代号
Columbus is a circle and a day off
哥伦布化作休憩的圆规
Pershing is a square what a payoff
潘兴将军成了方正的勋章
Julius caesar is just a salad on a shelf
凯撒大帝静静躺在货架 不过是盒沙拉
So little brother get wise to yourself
所以小弟啊 快看清这世道吧
Life's a bowl and dips fowl of cherry pits
人生如碗 盛满樱桃核的苦涩
Play it big and it throws you for a loop
贪图显赫 终被命运戏弄
That's the way of fets
此乃世间常态
Comes today we're great
今日我们风光无限
Comes tomorrow we're tomato soup
明日便成残羹冷炙
Napoleon's a pastry
拿破仑不过是块甜点
Get this under your brow
望君谨记于心
What once used to be a rooster
昔日昂首报晓的雄鸡
Is just a duster now
如今沦为掸尘的羽饰
Dubarry is a lipstick
杜巴利夫人化作一抹唇膏
Pompadour's a hairdo
蓬巴杜夫人成了发髻式样
Good queen Mary just floats along from pier to pier
贤良的玛丽女王在码头间漂泊流浪
Venus de milo's just a pink brassiere
断臂维纳斯沦为粉色胸衣的装潢
Sir gladstone is a bag ain't it shocking
格莱斯顿爵士变成皮包多么荒唐
And the mighty kaiser's just a stocking
而叱咤风云的凯撒不过是只丝袜的模样
Czar of russia is now czar caviar
俄国沙皇如今沦为盘中鱼子酱
And cleopatra is a black cigar
埃及艳后化作一缕雪茄烟香
Yes my honey lamb swift is just a ham
亲爱的 斯威夫特不过是块火腿
Lincoln's a tunnel coolidge is a dam
林肯成了隧道 柯立芝化作堤坝
Yes my noble lad comes today we're fads
高贵的少年啊 今日我们尚是潮流
Comes tomorrow we're subway ads
待到明日 便成地铁广告陈旧
Homer is a swa at
荷马史诗沦为廉价酒标
Get this under your brow
望君谨记于心
All these big wheel controversials are just commercials now
昔日风云争议 如今不过广告喧嚣
Better get your jug of wine and loaf of bread
且备美酒面包 及时行乐
Before that final bow
莫待谢幕时分
