Текст Ray Charles – He And She
Текст:
Wynn
I was I,
You were you,
And now we’re only we.
Who were two,
Or we had better be.
Jimmy
«I now pronounce you man and wife»
Are magic words like «Open Sesame.»
Wynn
But though they made you mine for life,
They also made you think much less o’ me.
Jimmy
It only shows how little you know of it.
Wynn
I know a pair who made quite a go of it.
Wynn
He was a man who was very fond of, women.
She was a girl who was very fond of men.
She had a taste for both corpulent and slim men.
He wouldn’t look at a lady under ten.
She went abroad just to find a man to marry.
He went abroad just to find himself a wife.
She didn’t want any Tom or Dick or Harry.
He sought a mate who’d be true to him for life.
She fell in love with the angle of his eyebrow.
He fell in love with the dimple on her knee.
And when they wed,
He went around with other women
And that is he and she!
Jimmy
He always said, «I would like to have a daughter.»
She always said, «I would like to have a son.»
She took to kids like a duckling takes to water.
He always thought having babies would be fun.
He told her this on the very day he met her.
She said, «The wish is the father to the sport.»
He bought a house, in the nursery he set her.
She helped the stork make his annual report.
He won renown as the father of a squadron.
She won awards for her prolificacy.
And just because,
And just because they loved their children
They got married after all.
And that is he and she!
Jimmy
She was so pure as the snow before it’s driven.
Wynn
He never smoked and he never touched a drop.
Jimmy
When she said «Boo» she would ask to be forgiven.
Wynn
When he would swim he would always wear the top,
Jimmy
She wore no rouge though she had a bad complexion.
Wynn
He always prayed ev’ry time he went to bed.
Jimmy
She was so kind that she hated vivisection,
Wynn
He loved his ma and he swore he’ d never wed,
Jimmy
She was so chaste that it made her very nervous,
Wynn
He loved to go to the vicarage for tea.
Both
And when they died,
And when they died and went to Heaven
All the angels moved to Hell.
And that is he and she!
