Текст песни Brand New Dance (Loudon Wainwright III) с переводом

There’s a new dance craze sweepin' the land

First you get out of bed, then you attempt to stand

You get out of bed, you get to your feet

You got to just stand there, you can’t retreat

Now here comes the hard part, it’s bad news

You got to bend over and put on your shoes

Over in the bed lies your sleepin' wife

Snorin' like a sailor, she’s the love of your life

But that women is a martyr and you know it’s true

Who the hell else would put up with you?

You got a brand new dance and it goes like this

You wake up in the mornin' and look in to the abyss

Take a look

Take another look, come on!

It’s a fight to the finish

It’s a flackin' and a fray

Got a brand new song and I sing it everyday

I got a new smell and it’s called «The Old Man»

A new taste sensation, I’d say it was bland

But that senior discount, that’s my kind of treat

But when I get on the bus, you got to give me a seat

Come on baby

Yeah the water is rising way past flood stage

The woods are on fire, and that’s a turn the page

So we stack the???

You drink a little coffee then you go take a seat

Read your business section, up there on your throne

You got a brand new dance, and you do it alone

Don’t just sit there

Do something

Shake a tail feather!

You got a brand new dance, you gotta get you some work

It’s a little like the Monkey, and a lot like the Jerk

The Chicken and the Pony and the Frug and the Swap

It’s a brand new dance, and you wish it would stop

You’d rather be a workin' stiff, than a lazy slob

Sha Na Na don’t get you no job

Hey hallelujah it’s election time

Vote in a booth for the big boss line

But it’s the same old song, same old dance

Same long shot at the same slim chance, yeah

One of those fools is bound to win

But it’s the same old, same old, all over again

Here we go

There’s a new dance craze sweepin' the land

First you get out of bed, then you attempt to stand

Get out of bed, get to your feet

You got to just stand there, you can’t retreat

Now here comes the hard part, it’s a bad news

You got to bend over and put on your shoes.
