You get a pen and I'll get a paper 你得到一支笔，我会得到一纸

We're gonna write ourselves a song 我们会自己写的一首歌

I don't think the damn thing's gonna rhyme. 我不认为这该死的东西的会押韵。

   

I got a friend and I think he's goofy 我有一个朋友，我认为他是愚蠢的

I guess he thinks the same about me 我猜想，他认为同样的关于我

I've been up for two whole days 我去过了整整两天的时间

Turn me over and roll me over 把我过去，我翻过来

Wind me up for one more rhyme. 风给我一个更押韵。

   

Well, he called me friend and he called me brother 好吧，他打电话给我朋友，他叫我哥哥

I called him back but he was gone 我叫他回来，但他已经走了

He took my songs and he took my money 他把我的歌，他把我的钱

But the jokes on him he's the friend of a fool 但在他的笑话，他是一个傻瓜的朋友

Of a fool, of a fool. 傻瓜的傻瓜。

   

You get a pen and I'll get a paper 你得到一支笔，我会得到一纸
