Текст песни unknown - По небу, с обезьянкой на плече

(from the play "The Prince and the Pauper";
someone probably thinks
that this is a love song
but I perceive it completely differently -
like a song about pure friendship
destroyed by dirt and bestiality
the human world,
the world of "dwarfs and drunks"
(by the way,
"among nonentities, executioners and drunks"
in my old poem "
Take a look around.
Your house is not so bad ... "- a reminiscence of this song))
