Текст песни: Big Riff And Mando + перевод

Marty loved the sound of the stolen mandolin

Somebody took it on a dare in the night-time

Run up to the radio, calling out to the wind

Now, bring it, bring it back at least an hour before flight time

It was a souvenir, but it was a right arm missing

Swap a woodwork rhythm for a humbucking top line

Big Riff, rough boy, wants to be a singer in a band

A little slow in the brain box, but he had a quick right hand

Run left, run right --- everywhere he look ---

Nobody watching, no, but that was

All he took last night

Running on the power of a stolen mandolin

Steal a little inspiration. Steal a little muscle

Will he wake in the morning, wondering --- was it really worth it?

So make a little deal, Yeah, make a little hustle

Ringing on the radio --- got a proposition for those English boys

I’ll make the sing-song --- you can make the background noise

One, two, three, four --- one bar and in

Give you back the mando, if you’ll let this singer sing tonight

Marty loved the sound of the stolen mandolin

Big Riff took it on a dare in the night-time

Now it’s four o’clock, and we’re waiting at the sound-check

Looking for a face staring in from the sunshine

We got two strong lawmen from the sheriff’s office

They’re going to lift Big Riff before he plays the first line

Big Riff, rough boy, wants to be a singer in a band

Yeah, help him on the stage now, put that microphone in his hand

Think hard, think right --- nothing in his mind ---

So Riff did a runner, but he left the mandolin behind
