Billy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que tu pianotes de tes dix doigts
Joue-moi plutôt Be pop a Lula
Comme à Nashville, ça s'arrangera
Joue-moi plutôt Be pop a Lula
Que je me sente un peu chez moi
Pas besoin de battre ce beau son
Un peu de vie, ça suffira
Pa-Pa Ludwig, pardonne-moi
Si je te chante ça, très chabada
Mais pour draguer la belle Élise
Pas besoin de gammes ni de vocalises
Joue-moi plutôt Be pop a Lula
À tes guitares, harmonicas
Laisse-moi chanter Be pop a Lula
Suis le tempo, comme moi
Elvis, tu m'reconnais pas?
Pourtant je chante du Rock comme toi
Dolly Parton dans les bras
Ouap dou ouap, je branche avec toi
Pa-Pa Ludwig, ne m'en veux pas
Si j'te chante ça, très chabada
Mais pour les filles du Tennessee
Amour et Rock : même combat
Laisse-moi chanter Be pop a Lula
Puisque l'amour, j'suis fait pour ça
Le rock'n'roll, pour moi, ça suffira
Mes amitiés à l'opéra
BOOGIE !
