Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood?

简介[编辑 | 编辑源代码]

来自美国最长寿的儿童电视节目《芝麻街》（Sesame Street）的经典曲目，用动听上口的旋律，轻松诙谐的歌词向孩子们生动展现生活中各种不同的职业。该曲长度两分钟，除副歌和桥段不变，针对不同职业有多种版本。以下是我能搜集到的一些版本。

（Chorus）
Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
In your neighborhood?
Say, who are the people in your neighborhood?
The people that you meet each day

Well, they're the people that you meet
When you're walking down the street
They're the people that you meet each day
---------------------------------------------------
Oh, the POSTMAN always brings the mail
Through rain or snow or sleet or hail
I'll work and work the whole day through
To get your letters safe to you

Oh, a FIREMAN is brave it's said
His engine is a shiny red
If there's a fire anywhere about
Well, I'll be sure to put it out
---------------------------------------------------
A TEACHER works the whole day through
To teach important things to you
We’ll teach things you won’t forget
Like numbers and the alphabet

A NEWS DEALER is someone you need,
If you want to get some stuff to read
If you want a paper or a comic book
Well my news stand is a place to look
---------------------------------------------------
A GROCER sells the things you eat
Like cereal, and cheese and meat
Whatever food you’re looking for
You’re sure to find it in my store
(The grocer sells the things you eat
Like bread and eggs, cheese and meat
No matter what you're looking for
You'll find it at the grocery store )

A DOCTOR works the whole day long
To keep you feeling well and strong
By any chance you’re feeling sick
I’ll try to make you well real quick

---------------------------------------------------
A DENTIST cares for all your teeth
The top ones and the ones beneath
So if you have an aching tooth
He'll fix it quick, and that's the truth

A BUS DRIVER works hard you know
Take you where you want to go
If by any chance you are going my way
Well, I’ll see you on my bus one day
(The bus driver drives fast or slow
To take you where you want to go
When you get in and pay your fare
She will drive you anywhere )

---------------------------------------------------
White hat, sun glasses, bathing suit, whistle
A LIFE GUARD works out in the sun,
Watching over everyone
At the ocean, at the beach, at the pool
I see that safety is the rule

A CARPENTER is very good
When it comes to hammers, nails and wood
If you want to build a house, or fix a chair
Well a carpenter can help you there
---------------------------------------------------
（more variations）

The BAKER is the one who makes
Your bread and rolls and pies and cakes
If you want something sweet to eat, go see
The baker in the bakery

A BARBER has a great big chair
You sit in it, he cuts your hair
He'll snip and clip and never rest
Until your haircut looks its best

The SHOEMAKER is always there
To take care of the shoes you wear
With his hammer, nails, and glue
He'll fix your shoes as good as new

The CLEANER is the one who knows
How to clean and press your clothes
He'll take a jacket, suit, or vest
And clean it so you'll look your best

The TRASH COLLECTOR works each day
He'll always take your trash away
He drives the biggest truck you've seen
To keep the city streets all clean
