Текст Dean Martin – The Old Calliope

My grandpa was a minstrel man
A minstrel man was he
And to tell the truth I guess I’ve got some minstrel blood in me

You can have all the harps in heaven

I love to hear that old calliope
I love the melody of an old calliope
And when you hear the thrilling harmony
Gather round the minstrel’s show’s in town

It sounds so good
That old calliope
What is more heavenly
Than an old calliope
Here comes the band
Oh what a sight to see
Gather round the minstrel’s show’s in town

Banjos strumming
Folks are humming
Minstrel’s coming
What a show what a show
Both
It’s the finest show I know

It’s coming near
JL
Coming near coming near
That old calliope
JL
What a sight to see

There’s the interlocutor
And Mr. Bones so full of life
Who’s that lady you were with last night
JL
That was no lady that was my wife
DM
Ha ha
JL
Ha Ha
DM
Ho ho
JL
Ho ho
Both
What a show what a show what a show

Says the interlocutor
To Mr. Bones so full of pride
Why does a chicken cross the road
JL
Why to get to the other side

I love to hear that old calliope
I love the melody of an old calliope
JL
And when you hear that thrilling harmony
Both
Gather round the minstrel’s show’s in town
