Текст песни Kinja Rules (Jimmy Buffett) с переводом

Lorna

Mista Paper, Senator Pullman he just call

He ask how come ya don need no watah

Norman

Don’t need water!

Lorna

Well, you let the barge go by

He comin' to talk to you

Norman

Who is Senator Pullman anyway?

Why do I have to signal the barge?

Iris

Welcome to the Caribbean, put on a shirt at least

The big enchilada is on his way

Senator Pullman

Mr. Norman Paperman, I presume?

Joinin' us in Kinja for de tourist boom?

Norman

Norman Paperman at your service

Meeting the kingpin, I’m slightly nervous

Pullman

Mr. Paperman, I here to be your friend

But there’s just certain rules here we can not bend

Paperman How about the water? My cistern’s flat

Pullman

Why sure, I come to take care of dat

BUT You gotta play by Kinja rules

Forget about da tings you learned in school

We use a different box of tools

And you gotta play by Kinja rules

Pullman

Now dis alien ain’t bonded for no gondolier

He’s bonded for GARDENER-dat why he here

De Chief of Immigration a power in dis town

Chief find out-your hotel close down

Paperman

Hereafter gardening’s all he’ll do I didn’t know, I swear to you

Pullman

Doan' hoross yourself, it’s okay mister

De Chief of Immigration-she's my sister

BUT You gotta play by Kinja rules

Forget about that civics course you learned in school

We ain’t city folks, but we ain’t fools

And you gotta play by Kinja rules

Pullman

Stop!

Paperman

How about my water?

Pullman

Hold you hosses I come to dat

Look at da chambermaid, she mighty fat

And if dat alien have her baby here

Dat baby an AMERICAN, free and clear

De Secretary of Interior, he gonna rave

And dat baby on your record

From da cradle to da grave

Your responsibility-I doan mean maybe

Da bottom line sir, dat YOUR BABY

You gotta play by Kinja rules

Forget about da tings you learned in school

We use a simple box of tools

And you gotta play by Kinja rules

Paperman

I’ll send her away-but this club’s bone dry

Pullman

No problem, lots of watah you can buy

Paperman

Buy water, Senator?

That’s your advice?

Pullman

Chief of Public Works give you a special price

Paperman

Chief of public works

Who’s he-your brother?

Pullman

Ha ha, not bad she’s Lorna’s mother

SO You gotta play by Kinja rules

Forget about da tings you learned in school

We use a different box of tools

And you gotta play by Kinja rules

Paperman

Senator, I thank you

Now one thing’s clear

I’ve got to hire a Kinjan gondolier

Pullman

Now dat a problem-

Paperman

What’s the reason

Pullman

No unemployment-it's high season

Can’t hire no Kinjan to wear dis hat

Paperman

And I can’t use an alien?

Pullman

Don’t ask dat

Paperman

You’ve been a great help, sir-you've got my vote

Just tell me-who's going to row that boat?

Pullman

YOU gotta play by Kinja rules

Forget about da tings you learned in school

Just take it easy, play it cool

But be sure to

Paperman joins Pullman

Play by Kinja rules

Extra Chorus

You gotta play by Kinja rules

Forget about that civics course you learned in school

God watches out for drunks and fools

But forget the Ten Commandments here

Kinja rules

Kinja rules

Kinja rules

Kinja rules

Pullman

Norman Paperman, I feel you soon adjust to Kinja, hahaha
