May I — текст песни (Gordon Lightfoot)

Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
Ring around the rosy and I`ll catch you if I can
And if you don`t say may I, then you`ll have to start again
But first you must indulge me and count from one to ten
Let the game begin
I adore you when you touch me
Pin the tail upon the donkey, you will surely win
And if you don`t say may I, then I`ll pass the cake around
And I won`t give you any, but you won`t make a sound
You don`t eat soap, anyhow

Red light, green light, blue light, yellow light
You can take three giant steps or a baby step will do
But if you don`t say may I, then I`ll march you out the door
Where you`ll be contemplating the numbers one to four
I hope you`re keeping score

Cause if you don`t say may I, then I`ll get you with the hose
And spoil your Sunday clothes Will it please you if I tease you
While you`re at the spindry, I`ll pass the pie around
But you won`t make a sound
You don`t eat blackbird anyhow

There`s four and twenty reasons why it can`t be wrong
How long have you been gone
Finders, keepers, losers, weepers
Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Wear your sneakers around sound sleepers
