The Talkin' Song Repair Blues - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
The mechanic raised up from under my hood[00:00:17]
He shook his head and said "This ain't good[00:00:19]
Your timin' belt's done shrunk one size too small"[00:00:21]
"Those spark plug wires are a little too long[00:00:26]
And your main prodsponder's nearly gone[00:00:28]
Your injector ports are stripped and that ain't all"[00:00:31]
"The torque converter's runnin' low on torque[00:00:36]
And that water pump's nearly down a quart[00:00:38]
We caught it all in time so you're in luck"[00:00:40]
He said "I've got the time and I've got the parts[00:00:45]
Just give me the word and I'm ready to start[00:00:47]
I think we can bring her in for eight hundred bucks"[00:00:50]
But don't be downhearted[00:00:55]
I can fix it for you sonny[00:00:56]
It won't take too long[00:01:00]
It'll just take money[00:01:01]
Then he said "Aren't you that songwriter guy "[00:01:07]
And I said "Yes I am " he said "So am I"[00:01:10]
He sat down and played me a song by the grease rack[00:01:12]
When he finished singin' he gave me a smile[00:01:17]
And I closed my eyes and pondered awhile[00:01:19]
And he said "What do you think Now don't hold nothin' back"[00:01:22]
Well I gave him my most sorrowful look[00:01:27]
And I said "This song's got a broken hook[00:01:29]
And I can order you a new one from Nashville but it won't be cheap"[00:01:31]
And I know you've been using a cut-rate thesaurus[00:01:36]
'Cause your adverbs have backed up into your chorus[00:01:38]
Now your verse is runnin' on verbs that are way too weak[00:01:41]
But don't be downhearted[00:01:46]
I can fix it for you sonny[00:01:48]
It won't take too long[00:01:51]
It'll just take money[00:01:53]
And I said "Hold on friend now I'm not through[00:01:58]
I hate to be the one to give you this news[00:02:01]
But your whole melodic structure's done worked itself loose"[00:02:03]
"It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it[00:02:08]
I'd keep her under fifty beats per minute[00:02:10]
I mean that's just me talkin' it's really up to you"[00:02:13]
You've got a bad safety problem with[00:02:18]
That dominant chord with the augmented fifth[00:02:20]
Just see how dangerously high it raises you up[00:02:23]
So just go on over and work on my car[00:02:27]
I'll sit here by the fan and chances are[00:02:30]
I can straighten this thing out for eig ehh nine hundred bucks[00:02:32]
But don't be downhearted[00:02:39]
I can fix it for you sonny[00:02:41]
It won't take too long[00:02:44]
You guessed it[00:02:50]
It may be a hit[00:02:54]
I like it[00:02:56]
