My Parties — текст песни (Dire Straits)

well this is my back yard - my back gate
I hate to start my parties late
here`s the party cart - ain`t that great?
that ain`t the best part baby - just wait
that a genuine weathervane - it moves with the breeze
portable hammok baby - who needs trees
it`s casual entertaining - we aim to please
at my parties

check out the shingles - it`s brand new
excuse me while I mingle - hi, how are you
hey everybody - let me give you a toast
this one`s for me - the host with the most

it`s getting a trifle colder - step inside my home
that`s a brass toilet tissue holder with its own telephone
that`s a musical doorbell - it don`t ring, I ain`t kiddin`
it plays america the beautiful and tie a yellow ribbon

boy, this punch is a trip - it`s o.k. in my book
here, take a sip - maybe a little heavy on the fruit
ah, here comes the dip - you may kiss the cook
let me show you honey - it`s easy - look
you take a fork and spike `em - say, did you try these?
so glad you like `em - the secret`s in the cheese
it`s casual entertaining - we aim to please
at my parties

now don`t talk to me about the polar bear
don`t talk to me about the ozone layer
ain`t much of anything these days, even the air
they`re running out of rhinos - what do I care?
let`s hear it for the dolphin - let`s hear it for the trees
ain`t running out of nothing in my deep freeze
it`s casual entertaining - we aim to please
at my parties
