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!
