阿甘小时最喜欢的童话人物——好奇的小猴乔治

Talk of the Town

I want to be where the talk of the town
Is about last night when the sun went down
Yeah
And the trees are dancing and the warm wind blows

And the same old time
And the water below gives a gift to the sky
And the clouds give back every time they cry
Make the grass grow green beneath my toes
And if the sun pops out
I'll paint a picture all about
The colours I've been dreaming of
The hours just don't seem enough
To put it all together
Maybe it's as strange as it seems mmm mmm

And the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me
It's a part of my mind it begins with a dream
And the feeling I get when I look in a sea
That this world is a puzzle
Find all the pieces
And put it all together
Then I rearrange it
I follow it forever

2006年《好奇的小猴乔治》被搬上荧幕

Always as strange as it seems mmm mm

Nobody ever told me not to try
Not to try
Always try
Always try

And the water below gives a gift to the sky
And the clouds give back every time they cry
Make the grass grow green beneath my toes
And if the sun comes out
I'll paint a picture all about
The colours I've been dreaming of
The hours just don't seem enough
Put it all together
Always be as strange as it seems

I said
Hooo hoo hohohoohhohooooo
