But maybe...

(lyrics from Plasticine Crow animation film)

composer	Grigiriy Gladkov
lyrics by	Eduard Uspenskiy	

	<slow>
One simple fairy tale
But maybe not a fairy tale
But maybe not a simple
We'd like to tell ya'.
We remember it since childhood
But maybe not since childhood
But maybe not remembering
But we can show you.

	<fast>
As we remember, the Crow...
(kar, kar, kar, kar...)
But maybe the Dog...
(Wow, wow, wow, wow...)
But maybe the Cow...
(Moo, moo, moo, moo...)
One day had luck:
Somebody sent her some cheese
We think, about 200 gramms
But maybe even 300
But maybe half-a-kilO!

	<fast>
He flyed up on a fir-tree
But maybe not flyed up
But maybe on a palm-tree
With run-start she climbed up?
And there for the breakfast
But maybe for the lunch
But maybe for the dinner
She calmly prepared.

	<fast>
And here the Fox was running
But maybe wasn't running
But maybe it was angry Ostrich?
But maybe not an angry.
But maybe it was Janitor
Who went through countryside
To the nearest nut-tree
To make a new broom.

	<fast>
"Listen up, Crow,
But maybe Dog
But maybe Cow
But also pretty".
"You have such feathers
You have such horns
Your hoofs a very slender
And an open heart".

	<fast>
"If you will sing
But maybe bark
But maybe moo
You know cows are mooing!"
"Then a big saddle
A carpet and a television set
As a present you will recEieve
But maybe rEceive"

	<slow>
And a silly Crow
But maybe a Dog
But maybe a Cow
(But maybe a... Hippopotamus!)
Suddenly starts to sing something!..
(Cock-a-doodle-doo!..)

	<fast>
And cheese of that Crow
But maybe a Dog
But maybe a Cow
Certainly fell down.
Right on the Fox
("Why are you throwing?")
But maybe on the Ostrich
But maybe on the Janitor
Immediately hit.

	<slow>
Idea of this fairy tale
But maybe not a fairy tale
Will understand not only adult
But even just a kid, -

	<fast>
Don't stand and don't jump,
Don't sing and don't dance
There, where the construction works in progress
Or hanging heavy load!
