Ronnie Cahute

Слова: Ihor Baczynskyj
Мелодія: "Johnny B. Goode" - Chuck Berry
Way down in west Toronto
With the boys so keen
Had a magic squeezebox
That he played real mean
Sang that Ukie music that
He loved so well
Shook those freakin' bellows
Like a bat outta hell
He'd be the king of polka
There'd be no dispute
There'll never be a player
Quite like Ronnie Cahute
Приспів:
Go go
Go Ronnie go go go (4)
Ronnie Cahute
Rocket Ronnie's rhythms echoed through the land
Soon he'd be the leader of the Burya band
Playing wakes and weddings and bar mitztvahs too
Ronnie sang in Yiddish better than they do
Portuguese, Italian, and совєцький too
There'd never be a player
Quite like Ronnie Cahute
Приспів.
Now he has a studio on Walkers Line
Four kids and a wife and he's doin' fine
Making music history with other cats
Never had a day job, he's a "musicrat"
He'll feed you pie
And tell you a joke
Then watch him make that squeezebox smoke
Приспів.
