Thought I'd make a getaway on a chill-out day
Thought I'd make a getaway on a chill-out day
A coffee to take away, I got my hair done
A coffee to take away, I got my hair done
Should have been a lovely day, didn't end that way
Should have been a lovely day, didn't end that way
Puis, là, c'est trop parti en couille, y a d'abord eu la pluie
Then, things got too bad, first there was the rain
La Loi de Murphy a décidé d'enterrer mon brushing
Murphy's Law decided to bury my blow dry
Un mec me demande son chemin, gentiment je le dépanne
A guy asks me for directions, I kindly help him out
En fait, c'était qu'un plan drague, ce con m'a fait rater mon tram
In fact, it was just a flirty plan, this idiot made me miss my tram
J'en profite, je passe à la banque, je laisse passer mémé
I take advantage of it, I go to the bank, I let grandma pass
Si seulement j'avais su qu'elle relèverait tous ses extraits de l'année
If only I had known that she would pick up all her extracts from the year
Je l'aurais poussée et coincée dans la porte automatique
I would have pushed her and stuck her in the automatic door
One time, never give it up
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
Three for you, I miss you too
Thinking it would be okay, with these directions
Thinking it would be okay, with these directions
What the fuck, I should have stayed in bed
What the fuck, I should have stayed in bed
Netflix and honey tea, curled up in my bed
Netflix and honey tea, curled up in my bed
Would be better in my sweater
Would be better in my sweater
Than be outside in this weather
Than be outside in this weather
One time, never give it up
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
Three for you, I miss you too
Quand, à la banque, ce fût mon tour
When, at the bank, it was my turn
Que je me suis dit qu'il était temps
That I told myself it was time
J'ai vite compris que c'était pas mon jour
I quickly understood that it was not my day
C'était écrit sur cet écran
It was written on this screen
Que Murphy voulait ma peau
That Murphy wanted my skin
Ce retrait est impossible
This withdrawal is impossible
Pour cause de solde insuffisant
Due to insufficient balance
C'est Murphy qui l'a dit
Murphy said it
C'est Murphy qui l'a dit
Murphy said it
C'est Murphy qui l'a dit
Murphy said it
C'est Murphy qui l'a dit
Murphy said it
One time, never give it up
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got
One time, for the hips I got
Two times, shaken to the top
Two times, shaken to the top
Three for you, I miss you too
Three for you, I miss you too
One time, never give it up
One time, never give it up
Two times, for all the love I got
Two times, for all the love I got
Three for you, where are you?
Three for you, where are you?
One time, for the hips I got

Two times, shaken to the top
