According to the introduction of CCTV's "Trick," the title song, "There's Gold in the Knees of a Man," is compiled by the CCTV program

Lyrics:

There's no fear of the birds if you want to sow seeds

If you want to eat food, there's no need to be afraid of birds

It is the only thing that can help you.

If you want to eat rice, don't be afraid of the bees

One way to go

Even if the earth is round and the sky is square

One cup of wine and a hundred songs

Laughing, laughing, cursing and cursing are all without worry

Let's go to ............

A bowl for you and a bowl for me

A line for you and a line for me

A pot of light wine and a bowl of wine

A song to intoxicate the heart

If you want to subdue the blue dragon, don't be afraid of the water

If you want to subdue the big tiger, don't be afraid of the forest

The tattered clothes and the rags are not to be wondered at

There's gold in the knees of the man

A song for a thousand cups of wine

There is gold in the knees of the man

There's a song for a thousand cups of wine

The bitter sweetness of spring and autumn

Come ...........

A bowl for you and a bowl for me

A line for you and a line for me

The pots of light wine and the bowls of light wine are idle

The first song of the mountains is intoxicating
