[00:00.00] 作曲 : Jerry Bock/Sheldon Harnick
[00:00.00]Don't worry, Mr. La Guardia will help you
[00:04.21]Neil: What a man, what a job!
[00:07.02]All these people
[00:08.74]who look to us for justice: trust us!
[00:12.97]What a boss to work for,
[00:16.29]what a fine upstanding man he is,
[00:19.61]I'll follow in his footsteps,
[00:22.34]and do my level best
[00:24.71]to earn a reputation like his.
[00:30.90]I promise I'll proudly endure
[00:36.61]the hardships I'll share
[00:39.59]working with this man on the side of the angels.
[00:45.20]My life will be selfless and pure,
[00:48.90]like Upton Sinclair,
[00:52.27]working with this man on the side of the angels.
[00:57.42]We're marching forward,
[00:59.37]incorruptible, he and I
[01:02.65]battling with evil,
[01:05.82]fighting 'til we drop,
[01:07.23]what a way to die!
[01:09.95]So give me your tired, your poor,
[01:13.98]and scoundrels beware!
[01:17.15]Here we stand in chorus,
[01:20.08]he and I and Morris:
[01:22.39]standing firm, side by side,
[01:26.97]on the side of the angels!
[01:33.48]What a man, ohoho what a man is right
[01:41.02]Morris: What a job, what a man,
[01:45.39]what an office!
[01:47.36]That line of poor and friendless: endless!
[01:52.60]Call the Fire Department
[01:56.00]there's another kitten up a tree.
[01:59.38]Up goes Fiorello,
[02:02.30]and everybody cheers.
[02:05.07]But what does he use for a ladder?
[02:07.75]Me!
[02:10.46]Your life is an island of grief,
[02:16.98]surrounded by woe,
[02:20.63]when you choose to work on the side of the angels.
[02:26.07]My hours of leisure are brief,
[02:30.41]my wages are low
[02:34.04]working with this man on the side of the angels.
[02:39.62]That bench stays crowded,
[02:42.15]it's a regular Wailing Wall.
[02:46.18]penniless and helpless,
[02:48.70]ignorant and scared,
[02:50.11]he collects them all!
[02:52.38]There's never a moment's relief,
[02:57.07]but this much I know:
[03:00.68]Each poor soul I see there
[03:03.90]could be me there.
[03:07.14]So, I stay with this man on the side of the angels.
[03:20.59]Mr. La Guardia, you help me/I'm waiting first/alright my friends
[03:27.13]Chorus: I no wanna go to jail,
[03:30.15]tell me what I gotta do.
[03:33.76]I got such a lotta trouble and grief,
[03:36.59]I need relief
[03:38.19]that's why I come to you (repeat)
[03:40.58]Marie: As long as he wants me, I know,
[03:44.23]I'll always be here
[03:47.14]working by his side on the side of the angels
[03:52.50]Neil: Wherever he sends me, I'll go,(Chorus: I'm in trouble with the law,)
[03:55.82]my duty is clear(don't know what it's all about.I no got a lot of money to pay,)
[03:59.34]working with this man on the side of the angels!(People they say, you help me out.)
[04:04.52]Morris: Here's one more client
[04:07.03]who's another financial gem
[04:10.10]I've yet to see the meek
[04:12.83]inheriting the earth,
[04:14.33]but we inherit them?
[04:16.86]Chorus: I was worried where to go,(I know that he needs me, and so, )
[04:20.09]so I talked to all my friends(I'll make my career)
[04:22.60]Everybody say when you want the best(working by his side,)
[04:26.15]you go to Fiorello,(and proud to be allowed to.)
[04:29.31]Sure, they say you're very smart,(Side by side with this man)
[04:33.51]but more than that, they say you got a a heart,(on the side of--)
[04:36.00]just like the angels!(the angels!)
