Текст песни: The Lost Watch + перевод

What a confusion, a fellow lost his watch in the railway station

What a confusion, a fellow lost his watch in the railway station

A saga girl named Imelda was suspected of bein' the burglar

She had no purse, no pocket in her clothes, but yet she had the watch only

goodness knows

And they hearing

(Tick tick tick) everybody looking

(Tick tick tick) see them how they searching

(Tick tick tick) that’s all they hearing, but they can’t find out where the

watch was hiding

So under suspicion they took her down to the police station

And sent for the matron to examine every piece of clothes that she had on

The matron examined with care, she even made her pull out her long hair

She searched till she couldn’t search no more, but the watch now ticking louder

than before

And they hearing

(Tick tick tick) everybody looking

(Tick tick tick) see them how they searching

(Tick tick tick) that’s all they hearing, but they can’t find out where the

watch was hiding

The matron hit on an idea that she could find the watch around somewhere

She said she had an incentive, she could find the watch if given privilege

To divest Miss Imelda entirely and search her as if she was crazy

The search was such so they decide that the matron turn Imelda’s inside outside

And they hearing

(Tick tick tick) everybody looking

(Tick tick tick) see them how they searching

(Tick tick tick) that’s all they hearing, but they can’t find out where the

watch was hiding

Confusion now in the station, the matron searching by inspiration

The watch ticking louder and louder, and the matron moving up closer

The matron convinced there’s no doubt, she pushed her hand inside Imelda’s…

mouth

And do you know, the idea came through for when she found the watch it was ten

to two

Still ticking

(Tick tick tick) everybody looking

(Tick tick tick) see them how they searching

(Tick tick tick) that’s all they hearing, they now find out where the watch was

hiding
