歌曲歌詞
As I was walking down the street last night
昨晚，當我走在街上的時候
A pretty little girl came into sight
一個漂亮的小女孩出現在了我的視線中
I bowed and smiled and asked her name
我彎下腰，對著她微笑，還問了她的名字
She said hold it bud I don't play that game
她說等等，但是我卻不玩那樣的遊戲
I reached in my pocket and to her big surprise
我把手伸進衣兜，讓她大吃一驚的是
There was lincoln staring her dead in the eyes
林肯直勾勾地盯著她
On a greenback greenback dollar bill
林肯在美鈔，美鈔，美鈔上
Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
美鈔只是一張被塗成綠色的小紙條
She looked at me with that familiar desire
她用那種熟悉的渴望的眼神望著我
Her eyes lit up like they were on fire
她的眼前突然一亮，好像著火了一樣
She said my name's flo and you're on the right track
她說我叫弗洛，你找對了
But look here daddy I wear furs on my back
但是看看這兒，爸爸，我身上穿著皮草
So if you want to have fun in this man's land
所以，如果你想在這個人的地盤上玩得愉快
Let lincoln and jackson start shaking hands
讓林肯和傑克遜開始握手
On a greenback greenback dollar bill
都在美鈔，美鈔，美鈔上
Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
美鈔只是一張被塗成綠色的小紙條
I didn't know what I was getting into
我不知道我遇到了什麼
But I popped lincoln and jackson too
但是我也突然看到了林肯和傑克遜
I didn't mind seeing them fade out of sight
我不介意看著它們逐漸消失在視線里
I just knew I'd have some fun last night
我只知道我昨晚過得很愉快
Whenever you in town and looking for a thrill
無論何時你在鎮上尋找刺激
If lincoln can't get it jackson sure will
如果林肯不行，那么傑克遜一定可以
On a greenback greenback dollar bill
在美鈔，美鈔，美鈔上
Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
美鈔只是一張被塗成綠色的小紙條
We went to a nightspot where the lights were low
我們去了一家光線很暗的夜總會
Dined and danced and I was ready to go
吃飯和跳舞，我準備好要走
I got out of my seat and when flo arose
當弗洛出現的時候，我離開了座位
She said hold on daddy while I powder my nose
她在我的鼻子上抹了一些粉，說道，等等，爸爸
I sat back down with a smiling face
我微笑著繼續坐下
While she went down to the powder place
她去了化妝間
With my greenback greenback dollar bill
我的美鈔，美鈔，美鈔
Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
只是被塗成綠色的小紙條
The music stopped and the lights came on
音樂停了，燈亮了起來
I looked around and saw I was all alone
我環顧四周，看見只有我獨自一人
I didn't know how long flo had been gone
我不知道，弗洛已經離開多久了
But a nose powder sure didn't take that long
但是抹點粉肯定要不了那么長的時間
I left the place with tears in my eyes
我含著淚離開了那個地方
As I waved lincoln and Jackson a last goodbye
我揮手和美鈔，美鈔，美鈔上的
On a greenback greenback dollar bill
林肯和傑克遜揮手告別
Just a little piece of paper coated with chlorophyll
美鈔只是一張被塗成綠色的小紙條
