Quand j'étais planteur à la Jamaïque
Y avait des grenouilles, y avait des moustiques
Tous les samedis soirs on allait danser
Au son de l'orchestre " Mamadou mémé "
On buvait du rhum, on fumait la pipe
On mangeait des frites sous les bananiers
Et quand se levait la lune des tropiques
Tous ensemble, on se mettait à chanter
Mamadou mémé, Mamadou mémé
Mamadou mémé, Mamadou mémé Yeh
Quand j'étais bougnat à la Martinique
Je fréquentais des filles zérotiques
Mamadou Mémé faisait du commerce
Il vendait des marchandises diverses
Tous les samedis soirs, on allait manger
Des crabes et des frites sous les bananiers
Et quand se levait la lune des tropiques
Tous ensemble, on se mettait à chanter
Mamadou mémé, Mamadou mémé
Mamadou mémé, Mamadou mémé Yeh
Quand j'étais concierge dans l'Antarctique
Je tourtais schmurts et des peaux de bique
Mamadou Mémé faisait la cuisine
Avec des oignons et de la margarine
Tous les samedis soirs, on allait soumettre
Un nouveau projet à notre contremaître
Et quand se levait la lune des tropiques
Tous ensemble, on se mettait à chanter
Mamadou mémé, Mamadou mémé
Mamadou mémé, Mamadou mémé Yeh
