Текст песни The Night You Picked Up the Check (Henry Gross) с переводом

I saw a man eating fire

Another one walking the high wire

Saw an honest politician

Some dude with X-ray vision

But the most amazing thing that I’ve ever seen

Even better than that centerfold in playboy magazine was

The night you picked up the check

Atheists began to genuflect

The earth stood still, the sea was parted

Love came to the broken-hearted

Nature’s balance seemed to be upset

The night you picked up the check

Some people throw down a fifty

You’ve got a gift for being thrifty

When you reach in your pocket

Your arm slips out of socket

That’s why I nearly died, could not believe my eyes

I was stunned, speechless, taken by surprise

The night you picked up the check

Was a sight I never will forget

Rattled by the revelation

Couldn’t start a celebration

I was paralyzed by the effect

The night you picked up the check

Penny pinching’s your religion

And you’re always on a mission

So no way I could envision

You’d break with tradition

This unexpected act of reciprocity

Was met with shock, awe and curiosity

Grown men began to cry

Women fainted at the sight

Everybody wondering at the same time

If you’d come to your senses or left them behind

The night you picked up the check
