Текст песни The Ghost Of Smokey Joe (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy) с переводом

You’ve heard the story of Minnie The Moocher

She was a red-hot hoochie coocher

She was the roughest, toughest frail

Now Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

She messed around with a bloke named smokey

She loved him though he was cokey

He took her down, down to, China Town

And he showed her how to kick the gong around

He was down in China Town

All the cokeys layed around

Some were high, some were mighty low

There were millions on the floor

Knocking at the door

And there stood old Smokey Joe

He was sweatin', cold and pale

He was lookin' for his frail

He was broke, and all his jokes ran out

Nobody made a sound, as he stood and looked around

And then you hear old Smokey shout

Tell me, where’s my Minnie?

My poor Minnie

Has she been here kickin' the gong around?

If you don’t know MInnie

Oh, she’s soft and she’s pretty

She gets her pleasures kickin the gong around

A hidihidihidihi, a hodihodihodiho

You didn’t see me climb through that window

Nobody saw me come through that door

I just walked right through the wall

And i want you once and all, to settle back and let me have the floor

Now take a look, cause' i’m not some stranger

I’m the face that all you cokeys autta know

Well, you can tell me i’m not wanted

But the joint will still be haunted…

Cause' i’m the ghost of Smokey Joe

Do you remember when i kicked the bucket

In my mansion up on Strivers Road?

Well, they carried me off in a zilloiondollar coffin

Yeah, i’m the ghost of Smokey Joe

Tell me, do you remember Minnie?(yes we remember Minnie)

That frail I never found

(You’ll never recognize your Minnie)

You mean to say that Minnie stopped kickin' the gong around?

I’ve got a date on my estate down in Haiti

Call my chariotte so i can go

And should the boots you’re walkin'

Just tell them you’ve been talkin' to the ghost of Smokey Joe

And should the boots you’re walkin'

Just tell them you’ve been talkin' to the ghost of Smokey Joe

And should the boots you’re walkin'

Just tell them you’ve been talkin'…

Zabadaaayandawayhow zaooooooooooo

Smoooooooooookeeey jooooooooooooooe
