Текст песни The Old Dope Peddler (Tom Lehrer) с переводом

When the shades of night are falling,

Comes a fellow ev’ryone knows,

It’s the old dope peddler,

Spreading joy wherever he goes.

Ev’ry evening you will find him,

Around our neighborhood.

It’s the old dope peddler

Doing well by doing good.

He gives the kids free samples,

Because he knows full well

That today’s young innocent faces

Will be tomorrow’s clientele.

Here’s a cure for all your troubles,

Here’s an end to all distress.

It’s the old dope peddler

With his powdered ha-happiness.
