Перевод песни Caravan of Thieves - The butcher's wife

She’s a dish, a delicious buffet,
Always on the play,
A smile, a kiss on Christmas Day.
But, she’s bound to make you ill
And gorge against your will
And put flowers on her window sill.

This scene can have no happy ending
But in the while, it’s worth pretending.
If you care, not to tango with a knife
And be the next in line
If you care, not to meet the after life
Then don’t get friendly with the butcher’s wife.

Appetizing, a tantalizing little tease
Now you’re in the freezer
With Charlie, Mike and Ebenezer.
“Be a man!” she says, “he’s working at the shop
And won’t be home till six o’clock.”
Now he’s breaking down the doors and locks.

This scene can have, no happy ending
But in the while, it’s worth pretending.
If you care, not to tango with a knife
And be the next in line
If you care, not to meet the after life
Then don’t get friendly with the butcher’s wife.

A word to the wise, avoid her like a bucket of flies
Don’t look her straight in the eyes
Surely you’re gonna die.

This scene can have, no happy ending
But in the while, it’s worth pretending.
If you care, not to tango with a knife
And be the next in line
If you care, not to meet the after life…
Keep your hands off the butcher’s wife!
