Ce soir,
il pleut sur la villeEt devant le bar-tabac moi,
j'attendsJ'attends docile,
imbécileEt une fille viendra ou viendra pasDevant moi un guitaristeFait la manche en plein ventIl attend le client en chantantSon anglo-saxon de Courbevoie,
de CourbevoieMy sweet CaliforniaI am a poor lonesome guyMy sweet AngelinaPlease love me baby,
or I dieSo far away so far awaySo far away from CourbevoiePas de clients,
pas de fillesEt le guitariste et moi,
on attendLongtemps,
dociles,
imbécilesEt puis coups de blanc au bar tabacOn devient copain,
on causeOn discute en bon françoisEt puis on boit,
on boitOn chante "L'important,
c'est la rose"On rentre à Courbevoie comme ci comme çaMy sweet CaliforniaI am a poor lonesome guyMy sweet AngelinaPlease love me baby,
or I dieSo far away so far awaySo far away from CourbevoieMesdemoiselles,
s'il vous plaîtMy sweet CaliforniaI am a poor lonesome guyMy sweet AngelinaPlease love me baby,
or I dieSo far away so far awaySo far away from Courbevoie
