Dogs were barking, guests were parking
and my wedding was about to start
Dogs were barking, monkeys clapping
Then I got up on table and I said:
I'll meet you 10:45 on the Broadway Canal
in a disco-radical-transglobal...
comanja cooking up the original mixtura
s ulitzy do ulitzy the brilliant bassura
Mama---Diaspora!!!
Papa v Gogol Bordello!!!
Energija probuzdenija i ja!!!
Dogs were barking, monkeys clapping
bears were dancing and girls were cutting loose
Cops were lurking, kids were snarkling
then her father came up to me and said:
Vi bivali kogda nibud na vistavke sobak?
She was a 5-45, nashe delo tabak...
Da ja zge starij dobrij Opta-Hotza-Htzulo-Dzigit!
govorjat prosto bolnoi, ta nichego zhe ne bolit!
Nasha mama---Diaspora!!!
Papa v Gogol Bordello!!!
Energija probuzhdenija i ja!!!
Remember things, things that are eternal...
remember things...you forgot those things
Nelzja ponjat, nelzja izmerit,
tolko brasat', i tolko vvis!...
To make it all even more crooked
is impossibility of suicide
You pull the trigger, yet you are still standing...
just somewhere else, but with same dick in your hand.
And the dogs were barking, and the guests were parking
and the monkeys clapping and girls were cutting loose
thinking bout things, things that are eternal,
when her mother came up to me and said.
Dogs were barking, cops were lurking
and my dancing was about to start!
Monkeys clapping...
...Party!
...davaj tovarisch, like tovarisch would...
I met a crazy dancer,
a party tabashi
She held me by the hair I held her by the aaass
...nananana...
She was a crazy dancer...
...nananana...
She was a crazy dancer
Baja kuka napade original mixtura
z ulice do ulice to brilia bazhura
beat fun cool feel extoura
vyderzhit li vyderzhit aparatura!
...nananana...
And the dogs were barking, and the guests were parking
and the monkeys clapping and girls were cutting loose
thinking bout things, things that are eternal,
when her mother came up to me and said.
Dogs were barking.
