小子，把痰盂擦干净。底特律，芝加哥，大西洋城，棕榈滩。清洁痰盂。酒店厨房里的蒸汽，酒店大厅里的烟雾，酒店痰盂里的黏液:我生活的一部分。嘿,小子!五分，一角，一美元，一天两美元。嘿,小子!五分硬币，一角硬币，一美元，两美元给婴儿买鞋。要付房租。星期六喝杜松子酒，星期天做礼拜。 My God! Babies and gin and church And women and Sunday All mixed with dimes and Dollars and clean spittoons And house rent to pay. Hey, boy! A bright bowl of brass is beautiful to the Lord. Bright polished brass like the cymbals Of King David?s dancers, Like the wine cups of Solomon. Hey, boy! A clean spittoon on the altar of the Lord. A clean bright spittoon all newly polished? At least I can offer that. Com?mere, boy!
