Текст песни Here's to the Crabgrass (Allan Sherman) с переводом

Here’s to the crabgrass

Here’s to the mortgage

In fact, here’s to Suburbia

Lay down your briefcase

Far from the rat race

Where nothing can disturb ya

Uncomplicated

It’s what we waited

For so long in this city

Come let us go there

Live like Thoreau there

A life of sweet simplicity

Did you set the thermostat?

No, I don’t know where it’s at

Tuesday the Cub Scouts meet again

Walk the dog and cut the grass

Take the kids to dancing class

Jim’s Little League got beat again

Can’t keep a maid here

No matter what they’re paid here

The place has bad publicity

Why did we move here?

Don’t you remember?

To live in sweet simplicity

Here’s to mosquitos

Clam dip and Fritos

To golf and bridge and scuba there

Men wearing knee pants

Women in Capri pants

Discussing what’s with Cuba there

Each big appliance

Treats you with defiance

Until it finally falls apart

Call the repairman

In a week he’s there, man

To knock your kitchen walls apart

Tommy’s got a bloody nose

Gotta fix the garden hose

Book Of The Month Club came today

Didn’t read the last one yet

Yes you did, but you forget

Oh well, they’re all the same today

Here’s Mrs. Ritter

She’s the baby sitter

Tonight we’re going joyously

Back to the city

Where life is gay and witty

Back to the noise there

That everyone enjoys there

Back to the crush there

Hurry let us rush there

Back to the rat race

Don’t forget your briefcase

Back in the groove there

Say why don’t we move there

Away from all of this

Sweet simplicity
