Paroles
It’s three degrees Fahrenheit
The snow is falling down
People are huddled in doorways
All over this town
Stamping their feet to keep warm
Blowing on their hands
It’s sad to see this misery
In such a wealthy land
Thee land
In such a wealthy land
Some speak English, some speak French
Some Spanish and Japanese (Arigato!)
They have more in common
Than a shiverin' in their knees
All of them are slave to
The demon cigarette
This song is about people who smoke
If you haven’t figured that out yet
Smokers are the new street people
You see where’er you go
Coughing hacking lighting up
In the wind, in the rain, in the snow
In the fog, in the hail, in the dust and the heat
Dirtying our city streets
Cigarette smokers have become
The uptown equivalent of the Bowery Bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Now I can hear you smokers getting mad at me
But come on!
We’ve tried everything to get you to quit
We’ve begged we’ve pleaded
We’ve read you gruesome statistics
And still you smoke!
Now we’re trying a new tactic:
Embarrassing you into quitting
Think of this song as tough love
Tough love
It’s only a matter of time before
Street vendors get wise
It’s hard enough selling hot dogs
Now this smoke gets in their eyes (smoke gets in their eyes)
And in their hair and in their lungs
In their buns in their hot dog meat
They’ll ask the city to pass a law
To ban smoking on the street
The street
No smoking on the street
If they can’t smoke on the street
Or in the buildings up above
Where will smokers go
To partake of what they love?
Restaurants? No. Bars? Uh-huh
Taxicabs? No way
Smokers are the most oppressed
Minority today
Smokers are the new street people
You see where’er you go
Coughing hacking lighting up
In the wind, in the rain, in the snow
In the fog, in the hail, in the dust and the heat
Dirtying our city streets
Cigarette smokers have become
The uptown equivalent of the Bowery Bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
So if you see a smoker on the sidewalk
Pity her pity him
Their bad habit’s forced them to be
On the outside looking in
All the willpower and nicotine patches
Haven’t helped a bit
In summer they wheeze
In winter they freeze
And still they just don’t quit
Don’t quit
And still they just don’t quit
Years ago I saw a bumper sticker
I still recall today -- it said:
«Kissing a smoker is just like
Licking a dirty ashtray»
If that doesn’t make you think twice about
How smoking offends
Go lick a dirty ashtray and tell me
Would you want to do that again? No
Again -- Yuck!
Would you ever do that again? Uh-uh
Smokers are the new street people
You see where’er you go
Coughing hacking lighting up
In the wind, in the rain, in the snow
In the fog, in the hail, in the dust and the heat
Dirtying our city streets
Cigarette smokers have become
The uptown equivalent of the Bowery Bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Tough love!
Traduction des paroles
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Donc si vous voyez un fumeur sur le trottoir
Pitié pitié de lui
Leur mauvaise habitude les a forcés à l'être
À l'extérieur en regardant dans
Toute la volonté et les patchs de nicotine
N'ont pas aidé un peu
En été Ils sifflent
En hiver ils gèlent
Et pourtant ils n'abandonnent pas
Ne quittez pas
Et pourtant ils n'abandonnent pas
Il y a des années j'ai vu un autocollant de pare chocs
Je me souviens encore aujourd'hui-il a dit:
«Embrasser un fumeur est tout comme
Lécher un sale cendrier»
Si cela ne vous fait pas réfléchir à deux fois
Comment fumer offense
Va lécher un cendrier sale et dis moi
Voudriez-vous le faire à nouveau? Aucun
Nouveau -- Beurk!
Serait-il possible de le faire à nouveau? Uh-Uh
Les fumeurs sont les nouveaux gens de la rue
Vous voyez où vous allez er
Tousser pirater allumer
Dans le vent, sous la pluie, dans la neige
Dans le brouillard, à la grêle, dans la poussière et la chaleur
Salir nos rues de la ville
Les fumeurs de cigarettes sont devenus
L'équivalent uptown du Bowery Bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Tough love!
