Banquet (LP版) - Joni Mitchell[00:00:00]

Written by：Joni Mitchell[00:00:01]

Come to the dinner gong[00:00:09]

The table is laden high[00:00:12]

Fat bellies and hungry little ones[00:00:15]

Tuck your napkins in[00:00:19]

And take your share[00:00:22]

Some get the gravy[00:00:24]

And some get the gristle[00:00:27]

Some get the marrow bone[00:00:30]

And some get nothing[00:00:34]

Though there's plenty to spare[00:00:36]

I took my share down by the sea[00:00:42]

Paper plates and javex bottles on the tide[00:00:46]

Seagulls come down[00:00:50]

And they squawk at me[00:00:51]

Down where the water skiers glide[00:00:54]

Some turn to Jesus[00:01:10]

And some turn to heroin[00:01:13]

Some turn to rambling round[00:01:16]

Looking for a clean sky[00:01:20]

And a drinking stream[00:01:22]

Some watch the paint peel off[00:01:24]

Some watch their kids grow up[00:01:27]

Some watch their stocks and bonds[00:01:30]

Waiting for that big deal[00:01:34]

American dream[00:01:36]

I took my dream down by the sea[00:01:42]

Yankee yachts and lobster pots and sunshine[00:01:46]

And logs and sails[00:01:49]

And shell oil pails[00:01:51]

Dogs and tugs and summertime[00:01:53]

Back in the banquet line[00:01:56]

Angry young people crying[00:01:59]

Who let the greedy in[00:02:06]

And who left the needy out[00:02:09]

Who made this salty soup[00:02:12]

Tell him we're very hungry now[00:02:16]

For a sweeter fare[00:02:18]

In the cookie I read[00:02:22]

Some get the gravy[00:02:24]

And some get the gristle[00:02:27]

Some get the marrow bone[00:02:30]

And some get nothing[00:02:33]

Though there's plenty to spare[00:02:36]
