слова Н. Олева (Розенфельда), музыка М. Дунаевского
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPZhbUO0Nu8
some drives and passions of all kinds and ranges,
of all the hues and all of possible scales
possess a human fragile soul/earthly soul and mind,
but total of them is less than that one.
refrain:
this is a superpassion,
that is an overpassion,
this is an omnipassion,
and its name is a power.
apple-ruddy and an apple-wrinkly smiling face,
grey ringlets, a knitting in the hands,
a politics, coquettish gammer, giving chances,
is wished by many, more than pretty maid.
people crave for fame, the ghost of power is honey,
a bribing ace is seeking to be a high judge,
that one who's soon for smash strives to be coroner,
a congressman is a dream for ex-actor, unemployed.
refrain.
go kiss few babies in front of a camera,
of poor childhood you should shrilly skrike,
go promise all the promises on earth,
and sure you will get an elected place.
refrain.
