Intro

Hey now, gather close, the story’s on its way

Two voices, one good groove, bringing brightness to the day

Verse 1: Male

Bratukha made a wild mistake, then tried to play it cool

Three tall tales by the riverside, but nobody bought the rule

He tossed a joke, he took a bow, and laughed at his own display

I said, “Friend, keep your feet on earth, we’re choosing peace today”

Verse 1: Female

I heard the rumor cross the yard, it tripped over its own shoes

So I brought a little common sense and a better kind of news

No need for trouble, no need for smoke, no need to raise your voice

Put the kettle on, share the bread, and let the good times make the choice

Pre-Chorus: Both

Leave the heavy words behind

Make a kinder state of mind

Every neighbor, side by side
