Trinkets — текст песни (Bonnie Raitt)

When I was a kid I had a little record
I played it over and over each and every day
Sung by a man named Louie Armstrong
Saint`s marched right in from my
Close and Play

When I was a kid I had a little picture
I looked at that picture all the time
Painted by a man
Mama said his name was Vinnie
A farmer sewing seeds on a really
nice day

Mom and daddies
get a good idea what your
babies like
help `em be happy like that guy
named Mike
Yeah the groovy old man that fixes
my bike
Down there n `Dumaine Street
New Orleans Louisiana

When I was a kid I had a little
wiener dog
I loved that little wiener dog and
she loved me
Spent warm spring days feeding
that wiener dog
Ripe sweet cherries from our
cherry tree.

An` I ever get older, an` if I ever die
If I get to a gate at the end of the sky
And a beautiful creature says
Now Bonnie what do you want?
I might say a record and a picture
and a wiener dog swear to God

Mom and daddies get a good idea
what your babies want
To help `em be happy like that ol`
Gal named Betty
Yeah the groovy old chick teaches
Tai-Chi on the levee
Rain or shine she`s out there
she`s dedicated
She wrinkled but she lovely
she flexible
and don`t you wish we all
were flexible enough to
to dance now?

Dance little children now
The whole round world is your
neighborhood.
Dance little children now
nekked as a Jaybird
Dance little children now
The whole round world is your
neighborhood.
Dance little children now
nekkid as a Jaybird

They`re just trinkets,
little stepping stones to let you
know you was here.
