Текст песни The Zoological Gardens (Ronnie Drew) с переводом

Thunder and lightning is no lark

When Dublin city is in the dark

So if you’ve any money go up to the park

And view the zoological garden

We went out there to see the zoo

We saw the lion and the kangaroo

There was he-males and she-males of every hue

Up in the zoological garden

We went out there by Castleknock

Says she to me «Sure we’ll court on the lock»

Then I knew she was one of the rare old stock

From outside the zoological garden

We went out there on our honeymoon

Says she to me «If you don’t come soon

I’ll have to get in with the hairy baboons»

Up in the zoological garden

Says she to me «It's seven o’clock

And time for me to be changin' me frock

For I long to see the old cockatoo»

Up in the zoological garden

Says she to me «Me lovely Jack

Sure I love a ride on the elephant’s back

If you don’t get out that I’ll give you such a crack

Up in the zoological garden

Oh, thunder and lightning is no lark

When Dublin city is in the dark

So if you’ve any money go up to the park

And view The Zoological Gardens
