Lyrics & Translation

[English]

foreign

daylight hours but I don't want any

trouble in here so hit the road I'm not

looking for any trouble either sir I

simply want to buy a jumbo pop for my

little boy

you want the red or the blue pal

oh come on kid back up listen buddy what

they're on the fox ice cream joints in

your part of town uh no no there are

there are it's just my boy this goofy

little stinker he loves all things

elephant wants to be one when he grows

up

is that adorable

who the heck am I to crush his little

dreams huh right look you probably can't

read Fox but the sign says we reserve

the right to refuse service to anyone so

beat it you're holding up the line

oh hello

excuse me hey you're gonna have to wait

your turn like everyone else meet a maid

actually

actually I'm an officer

just had a quick question

where's aware they're getting snot and

mucus with their cookies and cream

what are you talking about well I don't

want to cause you any trouble but I

believe scooping ice cream with an

ungloved trunk is a class 3 health code

violation

which is kind of a big deal of course I

could let you off with a warning if you

would have gloved those chunks and I

don't know finish selling this nice dad

and his son up

a jumbo Pop please

a jumper pop

fifteen dollars thank you so much thank

you

oh no are you kidding me I don't have my

wallet

I'd lose my head if it weren't attached

to my neck that's the truth oh boy I'm

sorry pal gotta be about the worst

birthday ever please don't be mad at me

thanks anyway

officer I can't thank you enough so kind

really can I pay you back oh no my treat

it's just you know it burns me up to see

folks with such backward attitudes

towards foxes I just want to say you're

a great dad and just a

a real articulate fella ah well that

it's rare that I find someone so

non-patronizing officer hops Mr wild

Nick Wilde

the little guy you want to be an

elephant when you grow up

because this is Utopia anyone can be

anything

Key Grammar Structures

• I don't want any trouble in here so hit the road.

  ➔ Negative present simple + imperative clause

  ➔ The verb phrase "don't want" shows negation in the present simple, and the phrase "hit the road" is an imperative giving a direct command.

• I'm not looking for any trouble either, sir.

  ➔ Present continuous negative with 'either' in a negative context

  ➔ The verb phrase "am not looking" is the negative form of the present continuous, and "either" reinforces the negation after a negative clause.

• I simply want to buy a jumbo pop for my little boy.

  ➔ Simple present + infinitive verb (want + to + base verb)

  ➔ The verb "want" is followed by the infinitive "to buy", showing a desire or intention.

• Do you want the red or the blue, pal?

  ➔ Yes/no question with present simple and alternative "or"

  ➔ The auxiliary "do" forms a yes/no question in the present simple, and "or" presents two alternatives.

• I could let you off with a warning if you would have gloved those chunks.

  ➔ Conditional with modal "could" + past perfect modal (if + would have + past participle)

  ➔ The modal "could" expresses a potential action, while the clause "if you would have gloved" uses the past perfect with "would have" to refer to an unreal past condition.

• I'd lose my head if it weren't attached to my neck.

  ➔ Second conditional with subjunctive "were" for unreal present

  ➔ The structure "if it weren't" uses the subjunctive "were" to talk about a hypothetical situation in the present; "I'd lose" shows the result.

• Anyone can be anything.

  ➔ Modal "can" + base verb (ability) with indefinite pronoun "anyone"

  ➔ The modal "can" expresses ability, and "anyone" is an indefinite pronoun meaning 'any person', so the sentence means that any person has the ability to become any thing.

• I just want to say you're a great dad.

  ➔ Simple present + infinitive clause as a complement (want + to say)

  ➔ The verb "want" is followed by the infinitive phrase "to say", which functions as the object of the verb, and "you're a great dad" is the content of what is being said.
