Мелодія 1: "Верховино" - Микола Устиянович
Мелодія 2: "Lambada" - Kaoma
Верховино, світку ти наш,
Гей як у тебе тут мило!
Мов ігри вод, пливе тут час
Свобідно, шумно, весело.
Я не знаю чого ж мені того розуму нема
Від коли я чув ламбаду ума з розуму зійшла
Не хочучи, не можу відійти
Від ламбади, ой Боже біда
Знаю усі українські танці
А у мене виходить ча-ча-ча
Ой нема то краю краю
Як ту Верховину.
Коби мені погуляти
Ламбада
All my problems started when I took a trip to Portugal
Down at Ossington and Dundas where the people not too tall
I asked a girl to dance
She put me in a trance
And that's how I learned to lambada
Then we took a tour
Down to Windermere and Bloor
And there we shared a ring of ковбаса
Ти сказала в понеділок
Підем разом на барвінок
Я прийшов, тебе нема
На ламбаду ти пішла
You can have my sour cabbage
And my mama's голубці
You can have my самагонка
But please don't bother now with me
Ever since that time we practiced our lambada every day
But for all good things
Тhere always is a price that you must pay
The pain has been erased
Since I had both hips replaced
And I'm back with her out dancing on the floor
When I wear my brace
It lights up her face
Cause then we can lambada all the more
Ой йой, ой йой
Йой-ой
Ламбада!

Regarding the "Daddy Loves you" lines:
Barabolya was a CD intended for children and this was a reference that all of Ron’s children (all four) and me and my sister sang on the CD. The CD was kind of a heirloom thing for us kids from our dads- they were passing on their love of music, comedy and Ukrainian culture to us in a digestible way.
