Текст песни Doris And Edwin: The Movie (Christine Lavin) с переводом

The first time that she saw him

Was in the office canteen

He was buying a cup of coffee

(Three sugars and double cream)

Two weeks later she saw him

By the elevator banks

His hands were full

She held the doors for him

And he said «Thanks!»

Now she’s in love

For her it don’t take much

She’s in love

But this is not your ordinary office crush

'Cause she works in the basement

Near the boiler room door

And he works in accounting

On the 37th floor

Now I’m not much of a mathematician

But even I can see

In a building of 37 floors

And 4000 employees

The chances of running into him

Are really not too good

Even though she hung out at the canteen

And rode the elevator every spare minute she could

'Cause she’s in love

And she don’t even know his name (It was Edwin)

She’s in love

And love can be such a cruel cruel game

'Cause she works in the basement

Near the boiler room door

And he works in accounting

On the 37th floor

And by the way, did I happen to mention…

That when this building was constructed

It was done improperly

And one day on the fourth floor

There was a short in the electricity

It burned up walls and desks and chairs

And all the secretaries

The alarm did not go off

Until it reached floor thirty-three

Floor thirty-three

Floor thirty-three

(And on the upper floors, people were running and screaming

And jumping out the windows to get away from the flames…

It was gross!)

Now the woman in the basement

She raced up the stairs

Out the emergency exit

Into the fresh air

She looked up

Because just then it began to shower

And that’s when she saw her true love coming…

One hundred miles an hour

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh no! No no no!

(Angels singing)

I’m not much of a mathematician

But even I can see

The chances of him landing on her

Were very slim indeed (But he did!)

So they buried them together

The following day

And even now when I ride the elevator

I can hear someone say

She was in love

For her it didn’t take much

She was in love

But this was not your ordinary office crush!

'Cause she worked in the basement

Near the boiler room door

And he worked in accounting

On the 37th floor

Ya she worked in the basement

And he the 37th floor

But fate brought them together

Parted never more

Never more

Never more
