Текст песни: The World on a Shoestring + перевод

I am extrordinarily good

At sleeping the day away

I thought with my experience

I’d put it on my resumé

So here I am

Unemployed again

As broke as I can be

But all I need is this old guitar, an open case, and a crowded street

I’ve got the world

On a shoestring

I’ve got the world

On a shoestring

My head’s as full as a Ryder truck

Double-parked down the street

All the ideas I’ve packed away

Stack up so nice and neat

But I didn’t mark the boxes, so I don’t know where anything is

Paper bags of random facts, taped-up dates, and laundry lists

I’ve got the world

On a shoestring

I’ve got the world

On a shoestring

If you ain’t got money

That’s all right, honey

'Cause I ain’t got none too

We can be star-crossed and get ourselves lost

Down Fifth Avenue

Oh yeah

Oh

You look so good in your brand-new dress

But you look good all the time

I love the little pictures that you draw

And leave for me to find

And if I had a big apartment

I’d frame them on the wall

But what do I need with lots of space?

I’ve got rent control

And you to call

I’ve got the world

On a shoestring

I’ve got the world

On a shoestring

I’ve got the world

On a shoestring

Ba da da da

I’ve got the world

On a shoestring
