Heavily influenced by American rock & roll, Mitchell (who went solo in 1963) has often recorded outside France, at first in London, but later in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. Guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer Bob Graham were among the British session musicians who regularly supported him in London.

Be bop a lula, toi ma douce amie
Be bop a lula, où donc es tu partie
Be bop a lula, sans toi je m'ennuie
Be bop a lula, si je m'ennuie 2x
On s'est aimés une nuit
Te souviens-tu nos mille folies ?
Il a fini dans un sanglot
Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, où donc es tu partie
Be bop a lula, si je m'ennuie 2x
Reviens-moi , je t'en supplie
Car je t'espère le jour et la nuit
Je suis plus tendre qu'un agneau
Car j'ai compris et je t'aime trop
Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, où donc es tu partie
Be bop a lula, si je m'ennuie 2x
Be bop a lula, my baby
Be bop a lula, toi ma douce amie
Be bop a lula, tu me reviens chérie
Be bop a lula, et tu me souris
Be bop a lula, si, my baby, si
My baby
My baby
