george gershwin - the real american folk song (is a rag) كلمات أغنية
(verse 1)
near barcelona the peasant croons
the old traditional spanish tunes
the neapolitan street song sighs
you think of italian skies
each nation has a creative vein
originating a native strain
with folk songs plaintive and others g-y
in their own peculiar way
american folk songs, i feel
have a much stronger appeal
(chorus)
the real american folk song is a rag
a mental jag
a rhythmic tonic
for the chronic
blues
the critics called it a joke song, but now
they’ve changed their tune
and they like it somehow
for it’s inoculated
with a syncopated
sort of meter
sweeter
than a cl-ssic strain
boys, you can’t remain
still and quiet
for it’s a riot
the real american folk song
is like a fountain of youth
you taste and it elates you
and then invigorates you
the real american folk song
a masterstroke song
is a rag!
(verse 2)
you may dislike or you may adore
the native songs from a foreign sh-r-
they may be songs you can’t forget
they may be distinctive, yet
they lack a something, a certain snap
the tempo ticklish that makes you tap
the invitation to agitate
and leave the rest to fate
a raggy refrain anytime
sends a message sublime
(chorus)
the real american folk song is a rag
a mental jag
a rhythmic tonic
for the chronic
blues
the critics called it a joke song, but now
they’ve changed their tune
and they like it somehow
for it’s inoculated
with a syncopated
sort of meter
sweeter
than a cl-ssic strain
boys, you can’t remain
still and quiet
for it’s a riot
the real american folk song
is like a fountain of youth
you taste and it elates you
and then invigorates you
the real american folk song
a masterstroke song
is a rag!
