Tom Lehrer - The Old Dope Peddler слова песни
You are no doubt familiar with songs about the old lamplighter and the old umbrella man and the old garbage collector and all these lovable old characters who go around spreading sweetness and lTo their respective communities. but, its always seemed to me that there is one member of this happy band who does an equally splendid job, but who has never been properly recognized in song orY, and this is an attempt to remedy, at least in part, that deplorable situation.When the shades of night are falling,Comes a fellow evryone knows,Its the old dope peddler,Spreading joy wherever he goes.Evry evening you will find him,Around our neighborhood.Its the old dope peddlerDoing well by doing good.He gives the kids free samples,Because he knows full wellThat todays young innocent facesWill be tomorrows clientele.Heres a cure for all your troubles,Heres an end to all distress.Its the old dope peddlerWith his powdered ha-happiness.
