Elvis Costello - Daddy Can I Turn This? - 459759 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
There is a button and there's a switch
There is a needle and there's a dial
There is a lever I want to lift
And still you treat me like I'm a child

[Chorus]
Daddy can I turn this?[x2]

[Verse 2]
Will it be very dangerous?
Or will it taste nice?
You wash your hands with perfume and spice
I'll tell you when I want your advice

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Is anybody acting your age?
You got a girl you keep in a cage
You give her present after a while
A birthday cake containing a file

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
The flashing lights go running 'round and 'round
It spits out money
It tastes like honey
So drink it down
It leaves the slightest chemical taste
It could be most unfortunate
Earrings that jangle before they're seen
She slaps your face like a tambourine

[Chorus]
Daddy can I turn this?[x3]

[Outro][x4]
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy
