Текст песни If You've Only Got a Moustache (Stephen Foster) с переводом

Oh all of you poor single men

Don’t ever give up in despair

For there’s always a chance while there’s life

To capture the hearts of the fair

No matter what may be your age

You always may cut a fine dash

You will suit all the girls to a hair

If you’ve only got a moustache

A moustache, a moustache

If you’ve only got a moustache

No matter for manners or style

No matter for birth or for fame

All those used to have something to do

With young ladies changing their name

There’s no reason now to despond

Or go and do anything rash

For you’ll do though you can’t raise a cent

If you’ll only raise a moustache

A moustache, a moustache

If you’ll only raise a moustache

Your head may be thick as a block

And empty as any football

Oh your eyes may be green as the grass

Your heart just as hard as a wall

Yet take the advice that I give

You’ll soon gain affection and cash

And will be all the rage with the girls

If you’ll only get a moustache

A moustache, a moustache

If you’ll only get a moustache

I once was in sorrow and tears

Because I was jilted you know

So right down to the river I ran

To quickly dispose of my woe

A good friend he gave me advice

And timely prevented the splash

Now at home I’ve a wife and ten heirs

And all through a handsome moustache

A moustache, a moustache

And all through a handsome moustache
