歌曲歌詞
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
雖然我不知道，但確實有聽說
Uranium ore's worth more than gold
鈾礦比金子還要值錢
Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep
於是我賣了小轎車，換了輛吉普
I've got that bug and I can't sleep
我對此陷入沉迷而夜不能寐
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘鈾熱讓我陷入了瘋狂
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
不久每個人都會知道淘鈾熱
With a Geiger counter in my hand
只要蓋格計數器拿在手
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
我就能給自己劃點礦地
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘鈾熱可真是讓我陷入了瘋狂啊
Well I had talk with the AEC
我跟原委會的人談了談
And they brought out some maps that looked good to me
然後他們給了我份看起來不錯的地圖
And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed
其中一人給我指明一他知道的地方
So I straddled my jeep and headed down the road
接著我跳進吉普便徑直上了路
I reckon I drove about 100 miles
我估摸著跑了有百英里
Down a bumpy road out through the wilds
行進在崎嶇不平的荒野上
When all of sudden I bounced to a stop
就在這時我突然撞上了某個"站牌"
At the foot of a mountain, didn't have no top
不過在山腳下可不存在什麼車站
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘鈾熱讓我陷入了瘋狂
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
不久每個人都會知道淘鈾熱
With a Geiger counter in my hand
只要蓋格計數器拿在手
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
我就能給自己劃點礦地
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘鈾熱可真是讓我陷入了瘋狂啊
Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb
於是我帶上計數器就開始爬起來
Right up to the top where I thought I'd find
遠望山頂我想我發現了
A hunk of rock that would make it click
一大塊啪嗒作響的巨石
Just like I'd read about Vernon Pick
就像Vernon Pick書里所說的那樣
On the second day, I made the top
就在第二天，我終於到了山頂
And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop
我跟你說，Steve 這時我也正好準備暫時休息下
The only clickin' that I heard that day
因為那天我聽到的唯一的噼啪聲
Was the bones in my back that had gone astray
就來源於我那後背忘記自己位置的骨頭們
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘鈾熱讓我陷入了瘋狂
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
不久每個人都會知道淘鈾熱
With a Geiger counter in my hand
只要蓋格計數器拿在手
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
我就能給自己劃點礦地
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘鈾熱可真是讓我陷入了瘋狂啊
Well, you pack up your things
接著你打包東西
You head out again
再次前進
Into some unknown spot where nobody's been
在某個不為人知的地方
You reach the spot where your fortune lies
你終於到達了財寶的所在地
You find it's been staked by 17 other guys
你卻發現那兒早被其他的17個傢伙給占領了
Well, I ain't kiddin', I ain't gonna quit
好吧我不說笑我並不打算退出
That bug's done caught me and I've been bit
對金錢的沉迷早已把我的理智擊倒
So with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand
只要我手上還拿著計數器和鎬
I'll keep right on stakin' that government land
我就要繼續為自己去找鈾礦
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘鈾熱讓我陷入了瘋狂
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
不久每個人都會知道淘鈾熱
With a Geiger counter in my hand
只要蓋格計數器拿在手
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
我就能給自己劃點礦地
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘鈾熱可真是讓我陷入了瘋狂啊
