En repliant des dépliants d'agence de voyage, genre Cook
By folding travel agency leaflets, like Cook
Ou l'on peut voir des pinups à gros seins new look
Where you can see pinups with big breasts new look
Sur fond d'azur de Louisiane
Against a backdrop of Louisiana azure
Elle est marrante
She is funny
C'est une fan du captain Cook
She's a Captain Cook fan
Elle a sur lui toute un pressbook
She has a whole pressbook with her
Aussi sur Tarzan, dont elle est folle comme Jane
Also on Tarzan, which she is crazy about like Jane
J'la vois assez l'enlacer, et lui de liane en liane
I see her hugging him enough, and him from vine to vine
Pousser son cri en volapük, du coté de Pernambouc
Scream in volapük, near Pernambuco
Et moi, Chita le singe, qui leur cavale au cul dans la savane
And me, Chita the monkey, who runs at their ass in the savannah
Pauvre idiote, tu rêves, tu planes
Poor idiot, you dream, you get high
Me traite de fauché, de plouc, de minable
Calls me broke, redneck, loser
D'abominable bouc
Abominable goat
Qu'importe, injures un jour se dissiperont
No matter, insults will one day dissipate
Comme volutes Gitanes
Like Gypsy scrolls
