I CAN TELL BY THE WAY YOU SMELL — текст песни (Ry Cooder)

(Walter Davis)

Hey, look here baby, what`s going on ?
Step over in the light
Oh, no! Look here.

Your hair is all wrecked, you`re full of sweat
Your underskirt is wringing wet
You come in here walking just like a goose
It looks like somebody just tranked you to loose
You`ve been doing something
You`ve been doing something wrong
You`ve been doing something
You`ve been doing something wrong
I can tell by the way you smell

And there`s grandma and grandpa out on the porches
Must be kidding `bout her ninety years
Ain`t too old, God almighty, just keep shifting them gears
Well, you ain`t too old, said you ain`t too old
Ain`t too old, doing the boogie, you ain`t too old
I can tell by the way they smell

Well, it`s a-run here mama! Just look at little sis`
Got her hand in her toodle, way up to her wrist
She`s doing something wrong, she`s doing something wrong
She`s doing something wrong, God knows she`s doing it
I can tell by the way she smell

Go on and change your clothes!
