The Violin — текст песни (Rockapella)

Well before you know it he is born,
He`s looking up through painted bars
And he hears a hairy stranger say
He`ll learn to play the violin.
His mother`s voice is high and sweet,
He`s got her chin and rosy cheeks
And before this birdy leaves the nest
He`ll learn to play the violin.
Now his baby shoes are obsolete,
He`s growing like an ivy-weed
And every day he hears his father say
He`ll play the violin,
His mother and I won`t interfere,
We`ll give him room,
Let him steer but we won`t be happy
`Til we hear him learn to play the fiddle.
Hey boy, Jim boy, who you lettin` run your life?
Boy, Jim boy, is it what you want to do?
Hey boy, Jim boy, ain`t you proud to be a man (son)?
Boy, Jim boy... leave me alone...
So he went to university
`Til he got a law degree
And he kept a vow from years before,
I`ll never play the violin.
He met a girl with rosy cheeks,
She laughed when he would tell a joke
But she left him for another man,
A man who played the violin.
With a broken heart he sells his clothes
And books aboard a leaky ship
To find some peace in a foreign land
And learn to play the violin.
But before you know it the ship goes down
And fish are swimming in his mouth
But he promises the next go `round
He`ll learn to play the violin.
