La Cheminée

Toi t'as la cheminée;

Moi j'ai le feu

(You've got the fireplace; I've got the fire)

Toi t'as les souliers;

Moi j'ai les pieds

(You have the shoes; I have the feet)

 

What I need is what you got

Unless you've got it bad

In which case I've had enough for both of us

 

Toi t'as la carabine;

Moi j'ai les bals

(You've got the rifle; I've got the bullets)

Et toi tu manques jamais;

Moi, je reste tranquille

(You never miss, and I stand still)

 

What I need is what you got

Unless you've got it bad

In which case I've had enough for both of us

 

Mon wagon a des roues en bois

Et la boue, la boue c'est toi

Mon wagon a des roues en bois

Et la boue, la boue c'est toi

(My wagon has wooden wheels, and you, you're the mud)

Toi t'as le coeur casséd

Moi j'ai de la colle

(You've got a broken heart; I've got the glue)

 

What I need is what you got

Unless you've got it bad

In which case I've had enough for both of us

 

Mon wagon a des roues en bois

Et la boue, la boue c'est toi

Mon wagon a des roues en bois

Et la boue, la boue c'est toi
