Чистый nonsense

The Broom and the Shovel, the Poker and the Tongs,They all took a drive in the Park,And they each sang a song, Ding-a-dong, Ding-a-dong,Before they went back in the dark.Mr. Poker he sate quite upright in the coach,Mr. Tongs made a clatter and clash,Miss Shovel was all dressed in black (with a brooch),Mrs. Broom was in blue (with a sash).Ding-a-dong! Ding-a-dong!And they all sang a song!

'O Shovel so lovely! the Poker he sang,'You have perfectly conquered my heart!'Ding-a-dong! Ding-a-dong! If you're pleased with my song,'I will feed you with cold apple tart!'When you scrape up the coals with a delicate sound,'You enrapture my life with delight!'Your nose is so shiny! your head is so round!'And your shape is so slender and bright!'Ding-a-dong! Ding-a-dong!'Ain't you pleased with my song?

'Alas! Mrs. Broom! sighed the Tongs in his song,'O is it because I'm so thin,'And my legs are so long – Ding-a-dong! Ding-a-dong!'That you don't care about me a pin?'Ah! fairest of creatures, when sweeping the room,'Ah! why don't you heed my complaint!'Must you need be so cruel, you beautiful Broom,'Because you are covered with paint?'Ding-a-dong! Ding-a-dong!'You are certainly wrong!

Mrs. Broom and Miss Shovel together they sang,'What nonsense you're singing today!Said the Shovel, 'I'll certainly hit you a bang!Said the Broom, 'And I'll sweep you away!So the Coachman drove homeward as fast as he could,Perceiving their anger with pain;But they put on the kettle and little by little,They all became happy again.Ding-a-dong! Ding-a-dong!There's an end of my song!

Лопата, щипцы, кочерга и метла

I

Лопата, Щипцы, Кочерга и МетлаПоехали на променад.Распевали в пути: «Динь-динь-дон, ла-ла-ла»,Лишь в потёмках вернувшись назад.Господин Кочерёг – строен, прям и пригож,Мистер Щипц – дребезжал тенорком,Мисс Лопата – вся в чёрном (изящная брошь),А Метла – в голубом (с пояском).Динь-динь-дон, ла-ла-ла!Песня вольно текла!

II

«Лопатка, о златко, – пропел Кочерёг, —Заточили вы сердце в острог!Динь-динь-дон, ла-ла-ла, коли песня мила,Будем яблочный кушать пирог!Вы сгребаете угли, поя «ла-ла-ла», —Жизнь моя восхищенья полна!Ваш носик сияет, головка кругла,И фигурка тонка и стройна!Динь-динь-дон, ла-ла-ла!Песня вам не мила?»
