Old Pigweed — текст песни (Mark Knopfler)

EVERYTHING WAS IN THERE
THAT YOU`D WANT TO SEE
CORNED BEEF AND ONIONS
AND TRUE LOVE
TURNIPS AND TINNED TOMATOES
PARSNIPS AND A FEW POTATOES
A COUPLE EXTRA BLESSINGS
FROM ABOVE

NOW THIS HERE MINGLE-MANGLE
WAS MY BEST ONE YET
A BIG OLD BAD GOULASH
WORTH WAITING FOR
AND I`M JUST ABOUT TO DIP MY CAN
TASTE SOME BROTHERHOOD OF MAN
WHEN I GET A FEELING
THAT THERE`S A FLAW

WHO PUT OLD PIGWEED
IN THE MULLIGAN
WAS IT YOU
WHO PUT OLD PIGWEED
IN THE MULLIGAN STEW
I CLOSE MY EYES
FOR JUST A MINUTE
WHAT DO YOU DO
WHO PUT OLD PIGWEED
IN THE MULLIGAN STEW

YOU WON`T FIND SELF-IMPROVEMENT OR PHILOSOPHY
IN A DUMPSTER SITTING BY
THE KITCHEN DOOR
THERE`S PLENTY LEEK AND HUMBLE PIE
AIN`T TOO MUCH HAM ON RYE
SOMETIMES I WONDER
WHAT I`M LOOKING FOR

BUT A SPOONFUL OF FORGIVENESS
GOES A LONG, LONG WAY
AND WE ALL SHOULD DO OUR BEST
TO GET ALONG
ADD A PINCH OF KINDNESS CRUMBLING
TO YOUR LOVING DUMPLING
OKRA FOR THICKENING
WHEN SOMETHING`S WRONG

BUT WHO PUT OLD PIGWEED
IN THE MULLIGAN
WAS IT YOU
WHO PUT OLD PIGWEED
IN THE MULLIGAN STEW
I CLOSE MY EYES
FOR JUST A MINUTE
WHAT DO YOU DO
WHO PUT OLD PIGWEED
IN THE MULLIGAN STEW
