Tin Pan Alley - The Apples in stereo



I made up a new little song

If I had a nickel for every one

Then I'd be making a living

Instead of sitting here whistling now
而不是坐在这里吹口哨了
I'd be making a living

Just like a tin pan alley musician
就像流行歌曲出版界的音乐家


I'd come up with ten tunes a day

Keep them ever coming for but a modest wage
用它们来得到微薄的报酬
Then I'd be making a living
这样我就可以谋生


Instead of sitting here whistling now
而不是坐在这里吹口哨了


I'd be making a living
我可以谋生
Just like a tin pan alley musician
就像流行歌曲出版界的音乐家


If they'd listen to me whistlin
如果他们听到我吹口哨
They would whistle along
他们会跟着我吹起来


I'd be making a living

Instead of sitting here whistling now now
而不是坐在这里吹口哨了
Then I'd be making a living

Just like those old tin pan alley musicians



If they'd listen to me whistling

I won't be sitting here long
