Yakety yak, the reeds go wild,

Boots slap boardwalk, hound dogs cry;

Pickin’ like a freight train jumpin’ track,

Steel on my thumb, ash on my hat.

Chicken stole a biscuit, widow’s on my tail,

Slide me down the banister, out the jail;

Laughin’ like a fiddle that done forgot the words—

Yakety sax, y’all, keep runnin’ till the sky burns!

薩克斯風尖叫，街角拐個彎，

襪子飛進郵筒，警察翻欄桿；

香蕉皮鋪成跑道，時間摔成碎片，

誰在追趕？誰在逃？哈哈，誰分得清昨天！

音符像彈簧，蹦上屋頂又跌落，

把慌亂串成糖葫蘆，一口咬碎苦澀；

別讓心跳踩剎車，跟著這鬧劇顛簸，

笑到最后一拍，才發(fā)現(xiàn)——

世界原來是個滑滑梯，咻！
