О, old and kind the northern England!You keep traditions very wellAnd this traditions steady smellFeal everybody of your childrenAnd it doesn't matter where they areIn countryside or in big cities,From east end's cockney to prince CharlieAll are crew members of «Great Britain»Traditional food, traditional clothingTraditional buildings heavy styleAll not traditional it means nothingFor real British most of timeWhy I speak lot about traditionsIt should be dangerous for me!Don't worry I have got permissionFrom expeditions vis a vis…My home is my fortress — that's tradition,You can it quickly understand,Just after looking on Geoff's tent,Especially in hard conditionsIt looks like fortress! One door closedAnother open, anywayYou can be sure — you will frozen,If you try enter on this wayLike tunnel under English ChannelLong tube with snow on the wallsI have always here spare showerWhen I go out for «Protocol»…And what's inside?! — United Kingdom!With eyes blue like sky in springThey open early like the windowsFor looking after everythingThat everything would be in order,That everything would be on place,They make me smaller, thinner, shorter,When they look strict on my face…To whom belong these magic eyes?!Believe me, they belong to Geoff,Inside of them is melting ice,When they see russian bread and jam!What's more inside?! One more tradition!Is everything here dry and cleanAs sun are shining bowls and dishesAnd stove looks like a limousineGeoff doesn't like if it's too much attentionBut he is ready to explainAll things connect with navigation,And why the «Argos» is wrong againThat's Geoff! His team is well in pullingDoesn't matter that it's smallest one,Because in front is nicest Thule,Because in back is strong Rodan!I know — usual the British,They don't have birthdays holidayToday I break this bad tradition,And say to Geoff: «Happy birthday!»I hope that trip will be not last oneI hope he saves strength in his legsI hope that he'll find his passportOn «UAP» in «KEELTY» bag!I want continue my wishesBut time's coming to go to bedThat is one more not good TraditionIt's all the same! «Good night, my friend!»
