C'est la vie,
LilyQuand tu vas dans les rues de la villeTout le monde t'admire et tes souriresEt ta jeunesse font rêver les soldatsC'est la vie,
LilyQuand tu vas dans les rues de la villeQue tu es belle,
pas très fidèleTrop souvent tu flirtes avec les soldatsTourne,
tourne le temps passeDans tes yeux devant ta glaceMais toi,
tu ne le vois pas passerC'est la vie,
ma LilyQuand tu vas dans les rues de la villeVendre des roses ou autre choseMais tu donnes tant de nuits aux soldatsTourne,
tourne le temps passeDans tes yeux devant ta glaceMais toi,
tu ne le vois pas passerC'est la vie,
ma LilyQuand tu dors dans les rues de la villeTu es bien vieille,
tu te rappellesQu'autrefois tu faisait rêver les soldatsTourne,
tourne le temps passeDans tes yeux devant ta glaceMais toi,
tu ne le vois pas passer
