letra de the cannon song - kurt weill
(verse 1)
[macheath]
john was all present and jim was all there
[jackie]
and georgie was up for promotion
[macheath]
not that the army gave a b-gg-r who they were
[jackie]
when confronting some heathen commotion
(chorus)
[both]
the troops live under
the cannon’s thunder
from sind to cooch behar
moving from place to place
where they come face to face
[jackie]
with a different breed of fellow
[macheath]
whose skins are black or yellow
[both]
and quick as winking chopped them into beefsteak tartar!
(verse 2)
[jackie]
johnny found his whiskey too warm
[macheath]
and jimmy found the weather too balmy
[jackie]
but georgie took them both by the arm
[macheath]
and said, “don’t ever disappoint the army!”
(chorus)
[both]
the troops live under
the cannon’s thunder
from sind to cooch behar
moving from place to place
where they come face to face
[jackie]
with a different breed of fellow
[macheath]
whose skins are black or yellow
[both]
and quick as winking chopped them into beefsteak tartar!
(verse 3)
[macheath]
johnny’s a write-off and jimmy is dead
[jackie]
and georgie was shot for looting
[macheath]
but young men’s blood goes on being red
[jackie]
and the army goes ahead recruiting
(chorus)
[both]
the troops live under
the cannon’s thunder
from sind to cooch behar
moving from place to place
where they come face to face
[jackie]
with a different breed of fellow
[macheath]
whose skins are black or yellow
[both]
and quick as winking chopped them into beefsteak tartar!
