Palélé Palélé Palala - Palélé Palélé Palala
Dans toute l'Amérique, dans toutes les boutiques,
on n'entendait plus que ce refrain-là
Palélé Palélé Palala - Palélé Palélé Palala
Trois notes de musique, trois notes épidémiques,
qui commençaient à s'attaquer à moi.
Le lendemain avant que je me lève,
j'avais déjà ce refrain sur les lèvres
Je l'ai chassé cent fois de ma mémoire
et retrouvé au fond de ma mémoire
Dans les dîners d'affaire, les gens les plus austères,
me disaient d'un clin d'œil «chantez-nous ça»
Palélé Palélé Palala - Palélé Palélé Palala
Je suis rentré en France, chercher la délivrance,
mais à Orly, j'ai entendu chanter
Palélé Palélé Palala - Palélé Palélé Palala
Les douaniers m'ont dit «chante, cette chanson marrante,
on verra tes valises une autre fois»
Devant chez moi j'étais à bout de force
j'étais heureux de refermer ma porte
Je commençais à savourer le calme
quand tout à coup j'ai entendu ma femme
Du fond de sa cuisine, les mains dans la farine,
elle chantait à tue-tête cet air-là
Palélé Palélé Palala - Palélé Palélé Palala
Comme j'étais en colère, elle m'a dit «faut t'y faire,
à la radio on n'entend plus que ça»
{ad lib}
Palélé Palélé Palala (la, la, la, la...) - Palélé Palélé Palala (la, la, la, la...)
