Rikoo on riskillä ruma [English translation]
Rikoo on riskillä ruma [English translation]
I'm only a poor singer (on my way down, with empty pockets)
as lately the wind has been blowing through my wallet
My reputation as a wealthy man went right out
when they discontinued the one-penny coins
and the cold starts to corner a merry man
when he can't afford even clothes
Poverty is not a sin,
but it does embarrass you
when your confirmation-day suit wears out
and your long johns peek through
It is cheap and it is warm
but tricot on a stocky guy is ugly
Tricot on a stocky guy is ugly,
fubugly is tricot on a stocky guy
A stocky person sweats in tricot,
tricot on a stocky guy sure is ugly
Not with those long johns, I'll tell you right now (you don't mean that, do you really?)
said the last girl when I proposed a quick one-night union
At four in the morning I got lucky anyway,
when her old man stormed into the bedroom wearing tricot
A big black man with long johns (yuck!)
with an ax in hand, too
I said use the blunt end, please
and not on the face
And please, dear man, go get dressed,
because tricot on a stocky guy is ugly
Tricot on a stocky guy is ugly,
fubugly is tricot on a stocky guy
The old man started to sweat in his tricot,
tricot on a stocky guy sure is ugly
If I ever got myself long johns on my travels (why not, don't always complain)
I mean, to manage to keep them clean in life's struggles
I've seen many sets of long johns,
and in pretty dire condition
Overclothes you can get with money,
but long johns are on each person's conscience
On the last day, tail coats and overalls
will be taken off at the pearly gates
There we'll stand, as everyone's long johns are inspected
It must be a terrible sight,
because tricot on a stocky guy is ugly
Tricot on a stocky guy is ugly,
fubugly is tricot on a stocky guy
Many will sweat in the tricot of doom,
tricot on a stocky guy sure is ugly
Fubugly is tricot on a stocky guy,
a person will sweat in life's tricot
The v-necked ones I'll throw in a soak,
tricot on a stocky guy sure is ugly
