Текст песни Виктор Луферов - Медный Таз

I sat down once in a copper basin
Without oars and rudders,
And swim across the Pas-de-Calais
I gathered on it.
After all, on such a ship
Across the Pas-de-Calais
Nobody swam before me.

I'm cold, I'm wet
All my impulse was gone ...
Forgive me Lord, my skip,
But let me stay alive!
Now the basin is on me, then I'm on it,
I don't remember who's on whom
But we swam across the strait.

And now - a sensation! The press is climbing the wall:
- For the first time in the world! Hero of progress!
Without oars and rudders!
Imagine - he was swimming in a basin,
At the same time - not in one eye!
Sensation! - And in the center - me!
I immediately sold a copper basin
For a thousand coins
And resold my story
A thousand newspapers.

There is a house on credit, there is a bank account,
All around the honor, what else?
All canned food has my portrait.
All men ask for one thing - "Copper Basin" whiskey,
All ladies wear only one thing - Copper Taz clips,
The whole world is dancing only one thing - the tango "Copper Basin",
To the most fashionable copper jazz.

But time passed and the ardor dried up
And the bank account - alas!
The family scolds this and that
And there is no such love.
Friends drink whiskey and soda
And everyone shouts: - Come on!
Swim on something else!
I don't know how to be
Everyone has one thing in their heads:
- It is no longer fashionable to swim in a basin -
Now, if in a colo-slag!

But such a game is not worth the candle:
The colander can leak.
Try it on a chamber pot!
And here is a sensation, the press is climbing the wall:
- For the first time in the world! Hero of progress!
Let's get a movie here!
And I'm swimming like an idiot
And under me the pot is floating
And we are about to go to the bottom ...
And we are about to go to the bottom ...
