Mon ancetre Mortimer, Mortimer Peabody
Qui a fait 100 ans de guerre du cote anglais
Est un fantome feroce qui ne me pardonne pas
D'avoir choisi pour mes noces un mari francois
Et Mortimer toutes les nuits en colere me crie
Que fais-tu la, Petula
What do you do there
Que fais-tu la, Petula
Loin de l'Angleterre
Que fais-tu la, Petula
I don't understand
Que fais-tu la, Petula
Come back to England
Remember Piccadilly
And Christmas pudding
Remember Tipperary
Return to the Queen
Que fais-tu la, Petula
Chez nos ennemis
Je suis mort a Fontenoy
Tu nous as trahi
Mon ancetre Mortimer, Mortimer Peabody
A perdu une autre guerre
Contre les Francais
Il s'est si bien habitue
Au ciel de Paris
Qu'il ne peut plus le quitter
Meme pour une nuit
Quand je vais a Londres aujourd'hui
Mortimer me crie
Que fais-tu la, Petula
What do you do there
Ramene-moi, Petula,
Aux Folies Bergeres
Que fais-tu la, Petula
Si loin de Paris
Les Parisiennes, Petula,
Very good for me
Leurs fantomes sont si jolis
Moi, je veux rentrer
Pour hanter toutes les nuits
Les Champs Elysees
C'est tres extraordinaire,
Ce fantome anglais
Qui a fini par se faire Naturaliser...
