Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll play your favorite songs while you're all so happy atmosphere
We'll start with over river, then maybe stormy weather, too
I'm sure you know just what to do
On with the show good health to you
Please pour another glass it time to watch the cabaret
Your wife will never know that you're not really working late
Your hostess here is Wendy, you'll find her very friendly, too
And we don't care just what you do
On with the show good health to you
Petina, start the show attwo2 o'clock
Oh if by chance you find that you can't make it anymore
We'll put you in a cab and get you safely to the door
But we've got all the answers, and we've got lovely dancers, too
There's nothing else you have to do
On with the show good health to you
You're all such lovely people dancing, eating round the floor
But if you have to fight, please take your trouble out the door
For now I say with sorrow, until this time tomorrow
We'll bid you all a find adieu
On with the show good health to you

Всем Добрый вечер,
мы рады видеть всех, кто к нам пришёл сюда.
Сыграем песни мы любимые
для вас - нам это, право, ерунда.
Начнём, пожалуй, мы с «Угрюм-реки»,
затем поведаем, что «Климат здесь суровый…»
Уверен я, что вы здесь ко всему готовы.
Шоу продолжается, будьте здоровы.
Наполни свой стакан,
уже пора вам посмотреть кордебалет.
Ведь твоя жёнка не узнает,
что ты давно покинул (свой рабочий) кабинет.
Теперь твоя хозяйка Венди,
увидишь – вовсе эта леди не сурова…
Нам всё равно, что с ней ты будешь делать, (Казанова).
Шоу продолжается, будьте здоровы.
Берта, начинай шоу ровно в два часа…
А если вдруг поймёте,
что вам уже невмоготу,
посадим вас в такси,
и до дверей доставим (за 101-ю версту).
Ведь есть у нас на всё ответы,
красотки есть в кордебалете (из Ростова!) –
тебе не надо волноваться снова.
Шоу продолжается, будьте здоровы.
Вы все прекрасны, правда, братцы,
когда танцуете вы лихо на ковре.
Но если вдруг приспичило подраться,
решай свои проблемы во дворе.
Теперь я говорю вам с сожалением:
До завтра! Встреча в то же время!
Пока! Adieu! (До связи!) - говорю вам снова…
Шоу продолжается, будьте здоровы...

One of their most underrated songs. I enjoy it every time I hear it!!!
@malegrissusran8847
It is normally the opener of the Album !
"" Come in and enjoy the show !!! """"
@jedfra9172
@@malegrissusran8847 An amazing album all round. Just incredible raw talent shines through in every aspect and nuance of this album. Better than the Beatles Sgt Peppers in my opinion although I love that album dearly. I know this was released 7months after Sgt Peppers and many would argue that it was in some ways a copy/response but Their Satanic Majesties for some reason edges it for me. Yet it is relatively unknown by most.
@tonymadrid7014
Its a jolly sound i feel transported to Petina's show lol
@baltaznerk
underrated album

@johnscialfa7391
I don't see how anybody compares to Sergeant Pepper's... To me it's way ahead of that.... In John Lennon's mind he thought the stones were always trying to copy him.... I think John Lennon as great as a songwriter as he was ,was very jealous of The stones.
@MrMallorcaboy
@@johnscialfa7391 agree with that, satanic was far better than peppers and the beatles directly copied other artists work and passed it off as thier own, i have no respect for all four of them, john especially was a prat.
@seanscott7070
@@johnscialfa7391 It's a much better album than Sgt. Pepper's, in my very conceited opinion.
