Текст песни: Jake The Peg + перевод

I’m Jake the Peg, deedle eedle eedle um

With my extra leg, deedle eedle eedle um

Wherever I go through rain and snow

The people always let me know:

There’s Jake the Peg, deedle eedle eedle um

With his extra leg, deedle eedle eedle um

The day that I was born, oh boy, my father nearly died

He couldn’t get my nappies on, no matter how he tried

Cause I was born with an extra leg, and since that day begun

I had to learn to stand on my own three feet

Believe me that’s no fun

I’m Jake the peg, deedle eedle eedle um

With my extra leg, deedle eedle eedle um

Wherever I go through rain and snow

The people always let me know:

There’s Jake the Peg, deedle eedle eedle um

With his extra leg, deedle eedle eedle um

I had a dreadful childhood, really

I s’pose I shouldn’t moan

Each time they had a three legged race

I won it on my own

And also I got popular

When came the time for cricket

They used to roll my trousers up

And use me for the wicket

I’m jake the peg, deedle eedle eedle um

With my extra leg, deedle eedle eedle um

Wherever I go through rain and snow

The people always let me know:

There’s Jake the Peg, deedle eedle eedle um

With his extra leg, deedle eedle eedle um

I was a dreadful scholar

I found all the lessons hard

The only thing I knew for sure was three feet make a yard

To count to ten I used my fingers

If I needed more

By getting my shoes and socks of

I could count to twenty-four

(Pause…count: 1 2 3 4 5…) To twenty-five!

I’m jake the peg, deedle eedle eedle um

With my extra leg, deedle eedle eedle um

Whatever I did they said was false

They said 'Quick march,' I did a quick waltz

Then they shouted at me 'Put your best foot forward.'

'But which foot?' I said

'It's very fine for you, you only got a choice of two, but me!

I’m jake the peg, deedle eedle eedle um

With my extra leg, deedle eedle eedle um
