Joel Plaskett Emergency - Penny For Your Thoughts [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I like doo wop and the blues
I like heavy metal songs
Tell me why I got to choose
Which side of your fence I'm on

Are you with me? Or are you leaving?
Are you argumentative?
You all want some true believing
Why'd you act so t-t-tentative?

Don't you act so sentimental
Kid, you got some nerve
The reason I like the instrumentals
Is cause they haven't got any words!

Doo wop bop bop bop
Penny for your thoughts, music for your money
Doo wop bop bop bop
Show me what you got, play it for me honey

I Johnny Walker Red
I like being juxtaposed
I like seeing Johnny's dad
Wearing Johnny's mother's clothes

I the prince and you like the king
We both like the way Freddie Mercury sings
We're into deep to call this thing a fling
Which one of you is gonna let me swing?

Don't you act so sentimental
Kid, you got some nerve
The reason I like the instrumentals
Is cause they haven't got any words

Doo wop bop bop bop
Penny for your thoughts, music for your money
Doo wop bop bop bop
Show me what you got, play it for me honey

Doo wop bop bop bop
Penny for your thoughts, music for your money
Doo wop bop bop bop
Show me what you got, play it for me honey

I'd like to take this opportunity to say...

You can be a man of faith
Or you can be a hired gun
You be 1988 and I'll be 1941
Quit acting like a mama's boy
Instead of your father's son?

Doo wop bop bop bop
Penny for your thoughts, music for your money
Doo wop bop bop bop
Show me what you got, play it for me honey

Doo wop bop bop bop
Penny for your thoughts, music for your money
Doo wop bop bop bop
Show me what you got, play it for me honey
