Текст песни Владимир Высоцкий - Змеи

"Snakes, snakes around, whether it is empty!" -
The man screamed in a frenzy
Then he called to the aid of the mongoose,
So that means a mongoose rescued
And mongoose went to work,
Not sparing neither himself nor family,
they go on the hunt
No days off and seven days a week

And in the deserts, steppes and bambasah
Even given the mandate to patrols
Ignore snakes safe,
But to reduce toxic to the zeros
Prepare yourself now to be sad,
A man appeared on the sly
And he set snares for the mongoose,
By declaring it harmful beast

He came in the morning, with him dog
And Mongoose hid in a bag
A mongoose struggled and cried,
And shouting: "I am a useful animal!"
But animals in fractures and wounds
All were thrown into a bag, like mushrooms
Muzzy pain in traps,
Oh, and by the turn of fate

And they wondered: "What's the matter?
Why we are to be slaughtered? "
And he told them an old mongoose
With a broken front leg
What the goats ate the cabbage in Belgium,
Sparrows - rice fields in China since,
And in Australia evil mongoose
Most useful to exterminate the snakes

This is not a wonderful miracle!
There used to be useful and suddenly
It turned out that too zealously
Exterminating mongoose Vipers
That's what they got the reward
By calculating our people
We see people can not without poison
Well, then, can not be without the snakes!

And again: "Snake, snake around, whether it is empty!" -
The man screamed in a frenzy
Then he called to the aid of the mongoose,
So that means a mongoose rescued
