Текст песни We Are Jonah (Mike Scott) с переводом

And the round old fox, stepped up to make his speech

His ship was on the rocks, and rescue out of reach

Spotlit he stood, said what he thought he should

Half the crowd did laugh, though there was no joke

And soon the other half were swallowed up in smoke

A robin on the wing, could be heard to sing, the strangest thing

Grandma, we are Jonah

Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

Then the plane did land, for some it did not crash

From it emerged a man, in trainers and moustache

Down he laid his load, upon the heated road

Then the road did part, and the tar did melt

He loosened up his heart, he tightened up his belt

Like a piece of string, then he began to sing, like a pearly king

Grandma, we are Jonah

Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

Then the scene did shift, to a sun kissed sea

There was Montgomery Clift, Jonah, the Whale and me

As the sun it set, Montgomery placed his bet

Then the whale did yawn, and fell asleep in four

From dusk till dawn, you shoul have heard him snore

From Tierra-Del-Fuego, to the Alaskan Snows… There she blows!

Grandma, we are Jonah

Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

My dear old Grandma, we are Jonah

Rolling along in the teeth of a whale

Grandma

We are Jonah, rolling along in the teeth of a whale
