Текст песни Johnny Fedora And Alice Blue-Bonnet (Michael Feinstein) с переводом

Johnny Fedora met Alice Blue Bonnet

in the window of a department store

'Twas love at first sight

and they promised one night they’d be sweethearts forevermore

Johnny would serenade Alice

Too-ra-lay, Too-ra-lie, too-ra-loo

He sang of a beautiful palace

of a beautiful hatbox for two

But Johnny Fedora lost Alice Blue Bonnet

To a patron of the department store

Her beauty was sought by

the girl she was bought by For twenty-three ninety-four

Johnny, oh Johnny, your Alice Blue Bonnet

will always be waiting for you

So don’t give up hoping

and don’t give up dreaming

For true love will come smiling through

Johnny Fedora was lonely and stranded

in the window of the department store

When lo and behold

he was suddenly sold

and his heart became gay once more

Johnny sang out like a robin

too-ra-lay, Too-ra-lie, too-ra-loo"

To strangers he’d come up a-bobbin

Oh, I thought you were someone I knew

He looked for her uptown, and crosstown and downtown,

from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Jersey Shore

It all seemed in vain

til he heard the refrain

of the song Alice sang of yore

Johnny, oh Johnny

your Alice Blue Bonnet

will always be waiting for you

So don’t give up hoping

and don’t give up dreaming

And true love will come smiling through

johnny kept yearning, he kept on returning

to the window of the department store

His voice became hushed

he was literally crushed

and it started to rain and pour.

Each place he went, he kept calling,

too-ra-lay, Too-ra-lie, too-ra-loo

His spirits kept falling and falling

for his Alice was nowhere in view

But hey, nonny nonny, an iceman found Johnny

and he cut him to fit on his horse’s ears

'Twas done without malice

for beside him was Alice

and they lived on for years and years.

Johnny, oh Johnny, your Alice Blue Bonnet

will always be waiting for you

So don’t give up hoping

and don’t give up dreaming

For true love will come smiling through
