lyrics

[I will now recite for you a short play starring Gogol and Pushkin]

(Gogol: Falls out from behind the curtain and lies quietly on the stage)

(Pushkin: Comes out, trips on Gogol and falls): What the devil! Are you kidding me? Not Gogol!

(Gogol: As he gets up): Holy hot garbage! I just can’t get a break (Gogol: walks forward, trips on Pushkin and falls) - Are you kidding me? Upon Pushkin, I stumbled??

(Pushkin: As he gets up): Not a minute of rest! (Pushkin: walks forward, trips on Gogol and falls) - What the devil! Are you kidding me? Again, Gogol!

(Gogol: As he gets up): What a pain! (Gogol: walks forward, trips on Pushkin and falls) - Not this hot garbage! Pushkin, again!

(Pushkin: As he gets up): The hooliganism! The sheer hooliganism! (Pushkin: walks forward, trips on Gogol and falls) - What the devil! Again, Gogol!

(Gogol: As he gets up): What a complete farce! (Gogol: walks forward, trips on Pushkin and falls) Pushkin, again!

(Pushkin: As he gets up): What the devil? Truly this is the devil! (Pushkin: walks forward, trips on Gogol and falls) Gogol!!!

(Gogol: As he gets up): Hot garbage! (Gogol: walks forward, trips on Pushkin and falls) - Pushkin!!!

(Pushkin: As he gets up): Вот чорт! (Pushkin: walks forward, trips on Gogol and falls backstage) - Об Гоголя!

(Gogol: As he gets up): Мерзопакость (Gogol: Goes backstage).

Behind the stage, Gogol's voice can be heard: "Об Пушкина!"
