Текст песни: Spare Parts II And Closing + перевод

I wanna thank you all very much for comin' this evening. It really made my

Night. It would have been real strange here if nobody would have showed up

I’d like to introduce my group this evening and… it’s been a real pressure

And… A pressure and a pliviledge to work with these gentlemen

I’d like to introduce…

Please give a warm round of applause for Michael Melvoin on piano!

On saxophone, Pete Christlieb!

On bass, Jim Hughart!

And on drums, Bill Goodwin!

Yeah… They all come from good families, but… over the years they just

Kinda individually developed some ways about them that just aren’t right

You know

I was real pleased… I noticed everybody coming in this evening, you’re all

Decked out in full regalia and everything and… appreciate you gettin'

Dressed up for an affair such as this. You know, I think it’s something that

I’ve always tried to be as concerned about as possible and… Somebody said

To me one day, 'Christ, Waits! You look so goddam raggedy, why don’t you get

Yourself something to wear, you know?'

I said, 'Yeah well, not a bad idea'. Maybe a serious seersucker Saturday

Evening cranberry accoutrement ensemble would be nice. So I went down to

Seider & Seider and I said, 'I want something sharp!' I said, 'I'm kinda in the

Market, in the neighborhood of something like… maybe some green gabardines

With boneroo britches. And a leviticously duteronomous sort of catastrophic

Lunch-box Stetson, you know. I’d like to get some Danger High Voltage

Slacks, with high top, mid noon, brushed suede penny loafers, so I can be

Passing out wolf tickets regardless of where I go.' Walk into the 20 Grand

Club… And the Soul & Inspirations are playin'. Yeah, and you’re cuttin' a

Rug and pullin' on a coat and emotin'. Band is kickin' into some long

Version of 'Harlem Nocturne' or somethin'. You get designs on a girl in the

Corner. You say, 'Say baby… live around here?'

Yeah… I think I’m gonna plant you now and I’m gonna dig you later. Make

Like a bakery truck and haul buns. Make like a hockey player and get the

Puck out of here. I gotta go see a man about a dog, I’ll see you later

Thank you very much for comin' this evening!
