Текст песни Look At The Animals (Jethro Tull) с переводом

The tiny ant leaves his tiny ant drops in the sand

And makes his home inside a rusty watering can

Occasionally going out to look for bread and jam

He runs into a sparrow who hasn’t eaten for a week

And later, quite contented, the sparrow cleans his beak

Failing to notice pussy cat has come out to take a leak

Our cat partakes of dinner when a sudden kangaroo

Emerges from the undergrowth and asks to use the loo

Kangaroos aren’t usually dangerous, for that would never do

My goodness, will you look at all the animals queuing on the stairs!

Look at the animals in the zoo; how would you like to be one?

They’re waiting to use the lavatory and putting chewing gum in each

Other’s hair

Look at the animals, look at you; well how would you like to free one?

Good gracious, will you look at all the animals playing with their tools!

Look at the animals, look at you; well how would you like to queer one?

Flying from the chandeliers and treading in their elephantine stools

Look at the animals, two by two; aren’t you glad to be one?

This kangaroo’s a lunatic and his pouch is very full

Of pussy cats and penguins who can’t fly as a rule

But then neither could the pussy cat: he never went to school

The kangaroo gets nervous when confronted by the size

Of an elephant named Simon who is always telling lies;

He swears he wears green corduroys and can button up his fly

Presently, a fatter Simon’s indigestion fails

He regurgitates the whole damn mess into an aluminium pail

And the tiny ant scuttles back inside his watering can

Occasionally going out to look for bread and jam
