Текст песни Lipstick on the Mirror (David Roth) с переводом

There was a problem in the girl’s room at the elementary school

Just above the seven sinks along the wall

That’s the spot that held the mirror with a permanent reflection

Of a half a dozen toilets in six stalls

First day of the autumn term last period was over

All the little girls went on their way

The janitor was making rounds, like he always did

But there was a brand new mess to clean up on that day

There was lipstick on the mirror

There was lipstick on the mirror

There was lipstick on the mirror

There were 27 sets of scarlet smooches

The janitor, his name was Bob, spent 30 extra minutes

'Cause he couldn’t leave his job in such a mess

But there they were the next day, all those crimson colored kisses

And for Bob another half hour after class

There was lipstick on the mirror

There was lipstick on the mirror

There was lipstick on the mirror

There were 27 sets of scarlet smooches

A week went by and every day the same routine would happen

Bob cleaned 'em off at nighttime, they were back again by lunch

'Til he finally left the principal a note about the lip-prints

That Bob no longer wanted to expunge (who could blame him?)

But bureaucracy was moving slow, that’s kinda what they do

And the situation dragged along and festered

What with memos to the teachers and occasional announcements

Still conditions hadn’t changed that whole semester

There was lipstick on the mirror

There was lipstick on the mirror

There was lipstick on the mirror

There were 27 sets of scarlet smooches

So the principal got desperate, she ordered an assembly

She’d devised a way to help the students see

The burden of this extra work would come in clearer focus

Friday in the girl’s bathroom at 3

Young ladies, you know Bob, he’s the one who we can thank

For keeping all our windows clean and clearer

I just wanted you to see firsthand all the extra work he does

Every time you put your lips there on the mirror

Then Bob pulled out a squeegee with a handle six feet long

And he held it high for all the girls to see

Then he dipped it in a toilet and he splashed it on those lip-prints

You could hear a seat drop in that lavatory

No more lipstick on the mirror

No more lipstick on the mirror

No more lipstick on the mirror

Not one solitary set of scarlet smooches

No more lipstick on the mirror

No more lipstick on the mirror

No more lipstick on the mirror

And a model of accelerated learning
