Текст песни: Rabbits in a Basket + перевод

Two gentlemen were walking down the street one day

They met a pretty fair maid coming on her way

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day

Says one unto the other, I know this young girl well

Bidding her good morning, What have you got to sell?

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day

I have butter and cream for sale, likewise some new laid eggs

Two rabbits in a basket, and another one 'tween my legs

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day

I know you’ve butter and cream for sale, likewise some new laid eggs

But I wants to know the colour and the price of the one between your legs

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day

The colour it is brown, sir; the price is fifty pounds

The bargain made, the money paid, we’re off for yonder town

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day

Then pulling up her petticoats, and they was snowy white

Pulling down a rabbit which gave all hands a fright

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day

Then turning to this young girl as she was standing right

I did not mean a rabbit, but to lie with you all night

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day

With you we made a bargain, good money we did pay

You robbed us of our fifty pounds; with a judge you’ll rather stay

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day

A present from a friend, sir; to keep it from all harm

I put it there between my legs to keep it nice and warm

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day

Turning to this young man, the judge to him did say

You can take the rabbit home and cook it for your tea

Fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o, fol the diddle-o-day
