Текст песни Joe Dassin - The Yellowstone Cowbear

Hey, look at me, I’m a dancing bear in a bow to a gypsy king,
He taught me everything I know and he plays a mean tambourine,
And he got a gold ring in his ear, I got a brass one in my nose,
For any mother’s son, for any momma’s cub way it goes.

Now, I like my life, that’s all I know, there’s nothing that I lack
So why do I do dream of the bark of a tree
To scratch my back and figure out
Why I groove on a rainbow trout?

Dreams, dreams, dreams, recurring dreams.
Hmmm, why do I have these dreams?
Right foot in and right foot out
Hmmm that’s what it’s all about - dreams.

Dreams…

I watch the world go buy through the bars of my mobile home
Why ain’t I satisfied, what do you mean by “Yellowstone”?
Now, he’s got a foulard made of silk, I got a collar, I got a chain,
But he drives our car and he pays my bills and I only dance when it doesn’t
rain.

Like any bear I’ve ever seen in ways that I was raised,
But why do I dream of a running stream
So cold and waiting? Tell me why
I get so sleepy in the wintertime?

Dreams, dreams, dreams, recurring dreams.
Ohmm, why do I have these dreams?
Put your left foot in and your left foot out
Hmm, baby, that’s what it’s all about - dreams.

Dreams…

Now, he’s got a lunch box, I got a pail,
I climb a ladder, he plays the drum
He got a moustache, I got a tail,
We’re just doing like we always done

Two steps is all I know, two steps is okay by me
But why all these dreams of rolling ‘round
On daisy greens? I got no clue,
Just this feeling of deja vu.

Dreams, dreams, dreams, recurring dreams.
Hmmmm, why do I have these dreams?
Right foot in and right foot out
Hmmm, that’s what it’s all about - dreams.

(I’m a Yellowstone cowbear)

(that’s why)

(yeah!)

(rrrrrrrrrgh!)
