Перевод песни

Песня: In the Middle of the Night
Nice man George, newsagent on the corner
Not very rich, but never any poorer
Jaunty old George, a happy sixty-three,
Not very tall, but healthier than me
He whistles timeless tunes
As he saunters down the street,
Springs in his legs and elastic in his feet

But in the middle of the night
He steals through your garden,
Gives your hosiery a fright,
And doesn't say pardon
As soft as a breeze,
With an arm full of underwear,
On his hands and knees,
Dreams about the knicker scare

Hello there George, newsagent on the corner,
How's the old car, yes the climate's getting warmer
Chatty old George as you get your morning paper,
Read about the knicker thief, underwear taker
Bids you ‘Good day' as you wander out the door,
Never closes early, always cleans the floor

But when darkness hits the town,
And there's washing on your line,
Get your knickers down before the dreaded sign
When the clock strikes eight
And you're snuggled up in bed,
He'll be at the garden gate,
Filling underwear with dread

Nice man George, newsagent on the corner
He was closed today, maybe gone to mow the lawn
I had to go further down the road
To get me current bun
Hello – isn't that George on page one?
No it couldn't be, but yes it is,
Difficult to see from these photofits

But they are after him, of that you can be sure,
They've called him on the phone,
They've knocked on his door.
But he's gone away, gone to stay with some mates,
He got the papers early and saw his own face

Перевод песни:
В полночный час

Симпатяга Джордж, владелец газетного киоска на углу,
Не слишком богат, но и не сказать, что беден.
Бодрый старина Джордж, довольный жизнью в свои 63,
Не слишком высок ростом, но здоровее меня.
Он насвистывает старые мотивчики,
Прогуливаясь по улице
Бодрой походкой.
