音乐咖啡厅:Uptown Girl 高攀《富家女（窈窕淑女）》

爱尔兰的几个大男孩westlife嬉哈调侃的一首小品英文歌：穷小子迷上了富家女，喜欢人家的身形袅娜，喜欢人家的淑女气质；富家女爱上了乡下男孩，腻了她的高档玩具——重点就是：他们相爱了……

英文歌词
Uptown girl, she's been living in her uptown world
I bet¹ she never had a back street guy. I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl, she's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can and now she's looking for a downtown² man
That's what I am

And when she knows what she wants from her time
And when she wakes up and makes up her mind she'll see I'm not so tough³
Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl

You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys. She's got a choice  

Uptown girl, you know I can't afford to buy her pearls⁴
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been and then I'll win

And when she's walking she's looking so fine
And when she's talking she'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough just because I'm in love with an uptown girl

She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man. That's what I am

Uptown girl. She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love with an uptown girl
My uptown girl, you know I'm in love with an uptown girl
She is my uptown girl, you know I'm in love with an uptown girl
My uptown girl

中文歌词
窈窕淑女，她住在那高档的住宅区
我赌她从没跟街头男孩交往过，我赌她妈妈也从没跟她说过为什么不可
我想交个窈窕淑女，她住在那高档的住宅区
只要是热血青年就有机会，现在她来寻找乡村男孩。那就是我呀

日子一天天过去，她会明白她想要什么
等她从梦中醒来，就会做好决定，她会发现我这人不错
因为我们相爱了

我在她的世界看见过她，看得出她已经玩腻了她的高档玩具
还有那些富家公子送她的高档礼物。她现在有其他的选择了

窈窕淑女，你知道我没钱给你买珍珠首饰
但搞不好哪天我的好运来了，她就会知道我是多么好的人，那时我就成功了

当她走在路上，她看起来是那么婀娜
当她和别人聊天时，她会说我们俩是一对
她会发现我这人不错，因为我爱上了一个窕淑女

她住在那高档的住宅区，只要是热血青年就有机会
现在她来寻找乡村男孩，那就是我呀

窈窕淑女，她是我的窈窕淑女
你知道我们相爱了
我的窈窕淑女，我跟窈窕淑女恋爱了
她是我的窈窕淑女，我跟窈窕淑女恋爱了
我的窈窕淑女
