Tekst piosenki
On my own
How could I have known?
Imagine my surprise
Just a fool
From a tree full of fools
Who can’t believe his eyes
Imagine my surprise
I was a mean old man
I was an ornery cuss
I was a dismal Dan
I made an awful fuss
Ever since my life began
Man, it was ever thus
I was a nasty tyke who was hard to like
I had to misbehave
I did things in reverse
Refused to wash or shave
I was horrid to my nurse
I got back what I gave
Which only made me worse
I had to have my way
Which was bleak and gray, oh dear
Living in here
One hundred years of rain
Such a drag
This riches to rags
With just myself to blame
A dirty low-down shame
Silly me Silly old me Somewhere outside my mind
Clever you
Walking me through
Willing to lead the blind
Just in the nick of time
Who gets a second chance?
Who gets to have some fun?
Who gets to learn to dance
Before his race is run?
Who gets to shed his skin?
Who comes up born again?
Who was a mean old man
'Til you turned him into a golden retriever
Puppy dog
Who’s a good boy?
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
On my own
Skąd mogłem wiedzieć?
Wyobraź sobie moje zaskoczenie.
Just a fool
Z drzewa pełnego głupców
Who can ' t believe his eyes
Wyobraź sobie moje zaskoczenie.
Byłem wrednym staruszkiem.
I was an ornery cuss
Byłem ponurym Danem.
Zrobiłem straszne zamieszanie.
Ever since my life began
Człowieku, zawsze tak było.
I was a nasty tyke who was hard to like
Musiałem się źle zachowywać.
I did things in reverse
Odmowa mycia lub golenia
Byłam okropna dla mojej pielęgniarki.
I got back what I gave
Co tylko mnie pogorszyło.
I had to have to have my way
Co było ponure i szare, oh dear
"Living in here"
Sto lat deszczu
Such a drag
This riches to rags
Tylko siebie obwiniam.
A dirty low-down shame
Głupiutkie, głupie, stare ja gdzieś poza moim umysłem
Sprytny jesteś.
"Walking me through"
Willing to lead the blind
W samą porę.
Kto dostaje drugą szansę?
Kto może się zabawić?
Who gets to learn to dance
Przed wyścigiem?
Kto zrzuci jego skórę?
Kto się narodził na nowo?
"Who was a mean old man"
'Til you turned him into a golden retriever
Puppy dog
Kto jest dobrym chłopcem?
