Текст песни: The Jackal + перевод

Did I ever tell you about that man who changed my life?

The one I thought, oh my Lord, when I saw him walk in the back of that bar

All tall and lean with them broad shoulders, sweeeet lips, I knew

That I had died and gone to Chocolate Heaven

He had a real deep voice, and white pearly teeth

And his shoe was always shining

Long slender fingers manicured perfectly

The man wore 800-dollar Italian suits, straight from

I dunno, what would they call it

Milan or Rome or someplace like that?

I knew it wasn’t local

I said, I got to get next to that

I haven’t seen him in a long time

My man was so fine

He could get any good girl into trouble

You asked me me what his name was?

Well.. . 'The Jackal'.. . 'The Jackal'. Say. 'The Jackal'..

He was fat back cat cool

Like a Friday afternoon martini

Chillin' at a quarter after 5

Twist of lime, Coke on the side

The brother loved the high life

Had a Ph.D. in street stride

They called him 'The Jackal'

He was big Mack daddy super black stylin'

A diamonds in the back Cadillac

Fur-lined boards, white wall wheels

Cruise control, built for speed, chrome on evray-thang

And the stereophonic speakers, though he really didn’t need them

When they called him.. . 'The Jackal'. Say. 'The Jackal'..

Fly boy was in the buttermilk, hard

Livin' fast, livin' large, 6 foot 4 and not an ounce of fat!

When women asked, 'is you a frown Cat?'

He said 'My dear, I’m more that that, I’m the frownest of the frown

And in case you hadn’t known, they call me 'The Jackal'

Served an 18-year bid

First Riker’s Island

Then they hid him in the state penitentiary

Said the charge was Grand Larceny

That was 1975, and today, if he’s still alive

He’d be living in the park

Hm. The brother whose claim to fame was that they called him 'The Jackal'
