Back When the Bands Played in Ragtime
(originale)
You should have been in New York City
Before the crash in twenty nine
Everybody had lots of dough
The bathtub gin would overflow
Back when the bands played in ragtime
There was a cop they called O’Reilly
He loved a girl in the chorus line
But she was just no good
She ran around with all the hoods
Back when the bands played in ragtime 24
She asked O’Reilly for a favour
And he agreed ‘cause love is blind
A friend of hers was runnin' booze
Would he take a bribe, what did he have to lose
Back when the bands played in ragtime
The mob was loadin' stolen liquor
When they heard the siren wine
The cops came where the booze was stored
O’Reilly got a big reward
Back when the bands played in ragtime
O’Reilly sent his love to prison
She was there ‘til thirty nine
To top it off he was untrue
He got married in thirty two
Back when the bands played in ragtime
Ah you should have been in New York City
Before the crash in twenty nine
Everybody had lots of dough
The bathtub gin would overflow
Back when the bands played in ragtime
Back when the bands played in ragtime
Back when the bands played in ragtime
(traduzione)
Avresti dovuto essere a New York City
Prima dell'incidente nel ventinove
Tutti avevano un sacco di impasto
Il gin della vasca traboccherebbe
Ai tempi in cui le band suonavano in ragtime
C'era un poliziotto che chiamavano O'Reilly
Amava una ragazza nella linea del ritornello
Ma non era semplicemente brava
Correva in giro con tutti i cappucci
Ai tempi in cui le band suonavano in ragtime 24
Ha chiesto un favore a O'Reilly
E lui concordò perché l'amore è cieco
Una sua amica stava bevendo alcol
Avrebbe preso una tangente, cosa aveva da perdere
Ai tempi in cui le band suonavano in ragtime
La folla stava caricando liquori rubati
Quando hanno sentito il vino della sirena
I poliziotti sono venuti dove era immagazzinato l'alcol
