Here is the text:

Жил человек рассеянный
На улице Бассейной.

Сел он утром на кровать,
Стал рубашку надевать,
В рукава просунул руки —
Оказалось, это брюки.

Вот какой рассеянный
С улицы Бассейной!

Надевать он стал пальто —
Говорят ему: не то.
Стал натягивать гамаши —
Говорят ему: не ваши.

Вот какой рассеянный
С улицы Бассейной!

Вместо шапки на ходу
Он надел сковороду.
Вместо валенок перчатки
Натянул себе на пятки.

Вот какой рассеянный
С улицы Бассейной!

Однажды на трамвае
Он ехал на вокзал
И, двери открывая,
Вожатому сказал:

— Глубокоуважаемый
Вагоноуважатый!
Вагоноуважаемый
Глубокоуважатый!
Во что бы то ни стало
Мне надо выходить.
Нельзя ли у трамвала
Вокзай остановить?

Вожатый удивился —
Трамвай остановился.

Вот какой рассеянный
С улицы Бассейной!

Он отправился в буфет
Покупать себе билет.
А потом помчался в кассу
Покупать бутылку квасу.

Вот какой рассеянный
С улицы Бассейной!

Побежал он на перрон,
Влез в отцепленный вагон,
Внёс узлы и чемоданы,
Рассовал их под диваны,
Сел в углу перед окном
И заснул спокойным сном...

— Это что за полустанок? —
Закричал он спозаранок.
А с платформы говорят:
— Это город Ленинград.

Он опять поспал немножко
И опять взглянул в окошко,
Увидал большой вокзал,
Удивился и сказал:

— Это что за остановка —
Бологое иль Поповка?
А с платформы говорят:
— Это город Ленинград.

Он опять поспал немножко
И опять взглянул в окошко,
Увидал большой вокзал,
Потянулся и сказал:

— Что за станция такая —
Дибуны или Ямская?
А с платформы говорят:
— Это город Ленинград.

Закричал он: — Что за шутки!
Еду я вторые сутки,
А приехал я назад,
А приехал в Ленинград!

Вот какой рассеянный
С улицы Бассейной!

1930

 

English:

There lived an absent-minded lad,
Whom on Basseynaya street we met
 
In the morning, on his bed,
He, when putting on his shirt,
In the sleeves then placed his arms-
Sleeves turned out to be his pants.
 
Such an absent-minded lad
There once lived in Basseynaya street!
 
When he tried to don his coat-
They all tell him: wrong stuff, man!
When he started putting gaiters-
They all tell him: It's not yours!
 
Such an absent-minded lad
There once lived in Basseynaya street!
 
In a hurry, on his head,
Frying pan replaced his hat.
His felt boots, he couldn't get
So his heels got gloves instead.
 
Such an absent-minded lad
There once lived in Basseynaya street!
 
By tram and to some station
He, once, was heading towards
Then, opening the doors, said he
To the conductor-man:
 
- My dearest of friends, you are
The best of all conductors!
Respected by all carriages
Respected by all people!
Cost what it may, my chap
I need to exit here.
So it is ever possible
This "stam" stop at the "tration"?
Conductor-man got so surprised-
The tram was stopped that instant.
 
Such an absent-minded lad
There once lived in Basseynaya street!
 
Heading down to the canteen
Tickets tried to purchase he.
Later, ran to the cashier,
Thinking he could get a drink.
 
Such an absent-minded lad
There once lived in Basseynaya street!
 
Having reached the platform, then
Found our lad a detached train.
Got his sacks and cases in,
Stuffed his stuff under the seats,
Facing one of the corner windows
There he found a restful sleep.
- What's this simple country station? -
Cried our lad, the morning dawning.
Platform people tell our man:
- Leningrad's this town's name.
 
He again dozed off a little
And anew looked out the window,
Saw a great big station then,
Got surprised, and asked again:
 
- What is, now, this current station -
Bologoye or Petrovka?
Platform people tell our man:
- Leningrad's this town's name.
 
He again dozed off a little
And anew looked out the window,
Saw a great big station then,
Yawned and stretched, and asked again:
 
- And what is supposed to be this station -
Dibuny? Maybe Yamskaya?
Platform people tell our man:
- Leningrad's this town's name.
 
Then he cried: Is this some joke, eh!
I've been on this train for days now,
And you're telling me I'm back,
I am back to Leningrad!
 
Such an absent-minded lad
There once lived in Basseynaya street!
