Translation
Bilingual
I am a living American blonde
I am a young prince scheming for the throne that you're on
I am the fynbos resplendent with birdsong
I am an unabridged illustrated history of ping-pong
I'm president of various things
The Strand Jetski club, the local Rotary wing
I am a beacon of benevolent wisdom
I've got knowedge to impart upon the neighborhood children
"Richard, how do you do it?"
I say "you've gotta knuckle down, kid
You've got to learn to live through it
You'll prosper
If you stick at it for long enough"
Oh, "Richard, how do you do it?"
I say "you've gotta knuckle down, kid
You've got to learn to live through it
And prosper"
Prosper
Well I got my holiday socks on
French Opening across the kitchen tiles, knocking into everyone
I used to have a passing shot
They'd say "shot Richard, lovely passing shot"
But I was younger then and living was free
Now evening wine invokes a purple-prosing demon in me
And I am trying to be very direct here
I am trying to write the perfect sentence
ย
"Richard, how do you do it?"
I say "you've gotta knuckle down, kid
You've got to learn to live through it
You'll prosper
If you stick at it for long enough"
Oh, "Richard, how do you do it?"
I say "you've gotta knuckle down, kid
You've got to learn to live through it
And prosper"
Prosper
Execute the perfect burnout
Perfect circles on the tarmac
Execute the perfect spread of marmalade on toast
And if I die in action will you scatter my ashes
In a 2-bit landscape?
Will you shatter the lava lamps
Let them bleed out on a promenade?
