Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tchou, Tchou !
De France en Espagne
Tchou, Tchou ! Tchiguidiguidik
Je transporte des vaches
Meuh !!
C'est pour ça que ça crache
Reeeu Plurt !
Gling, Gling !
Je crois bien qu'c'est d'l'huile
Zip, Zip !
Je sens que je déraille, avec mon bétail, aie, aie, aie !
Me v'la libéré
Ouaisss !
J'vais en profiter
Let's go !
J'défonce une maison
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh !!!!!
J'm'arrete au salon
Bonjour !
Et j'prends un p'tit wishky,
Sllurp !
Et c'est reparti !
Ca crache la pistasse, se clashe, j'm'arrache avec mes vaches !
(Bruitages de fond divers et variés)
The lyrics of Les Wriggles's song Tchou Tchou Tchiguidiguidik describe the adventurous journey of a train driver who travels through the countryside from France to Spain transporting cows. The song opens with the sound of a train whistle and the repeated saying of "Tchou Tchou" which creates an immersive and playful atmosphere. As the train moves, the sound changes to "Meuh!!" which is the mooing of the cows on the train. The line "c'est pour ça que ça crache" suggests that the cows are not always docile, and their behavior can be challenging for the train driver.

The train driver is finally freed from the cargo and decides to take a break. He then proceeds to destroy a house, make a stop at the salon, and indulge in a small whiskey before continuing on his journey.
Overall, the lyrics of Tchou Tchou Tchiguidiguidik are imaginative, quirky and humorous, creating an entertaining vision of the journey of a train driver and his cows.
