Youpidou

Youpidou.
I left the school.
Youpidou.
And no Interpol!
Youpidou.
Abandoned my man.
A hooligan!
A real Al Capone.

Youpidou.
It's definitely him they call on
Youpidou.
An important person.
Who sees everything.
But there, I get intoxicated.
Youpidou.
And him, he makes fun of it!

Your words of love,
   it's not the day!
A word too many,
   that's what is necessary.
I'll make a tour,
   in the locality.
My mood is now
   a big zero.
Your words of love,
   it is not the day!
A word too many,
   that's what is necessary.
I'll meditate
   in the locality.
To leave it all behind,
   stick the pieces together.

Youpidou.
I am on the road.
Youpidou.
To leave at any cost.
Youpidou.
His gloomy expression.
Youpidou.
I leave while singing.

Youpidou.
It's in my racing car
Youpidou.
That I create an emptiness.
Appointment
For a solar life!
Knees, stones
And more difficulties!

Youpidou
J'ai quitté l'école
Youpidou
Et pas d'Interpol !
Youpidou
Délaissé mon homme
Un voyou !
Un vrai Al Capone

Youpidou
C'est bien lui qu'on nomme
Youpidou
Une grande personne
Qui voit tout...
Mais là, je m'intoxe
Youpidou
Et lui qui s'en moque !

Tes mots d'amour,
   c'est pas le jour !
Un mot de trop,
   c'est ce qu'il faut.
J'vais faire un tour,
   aux alentours...
J'ai le moral
   au grand zéro.
Tes mots d'amour,
   c'est pas le jour !
Un mot de trop,
   c'est ce qu'il faut.
J'vais méditer
   aux alentours...
Tout quitter,
   coller les morceaux.

Youpidou
Je suis sur la route
Youpidou
Quitter coûte que coûte
Youpidou
Sa mine maussade
Youpidou
Je pars en ballade

Youpidou
C'est dans mon bolide
Youpidou
Que je fais le vide
Rendez-vous
Pour une vie solaire !
G'noux, cailloux
Et plus de galères !

Youpidoo
I'll remember you, oh
Youpidoo
Still be holding you, oh
Youpidoo
Gee it's a lot to do!
Give me "two"
I'll see what I can do

Youpidoo
You've got to remember
Youpidoo
It won't last for ever
Youpidoo
So what really matters
Is that you
Got some... something under...

One day I'm gone!
   Today I ache
Three days of some...
   ... thing much too fake
I see you talk...
   ... ing to the bees!!!
All my goodbyes
   Signed with no kiss
One day I'm gone
   Today's a loss
Fried days of some...
   ... thing that I lost
you see me walk...
   ...ing down the streets
I walk away
   Youpidoo, day

Youpidoo
There's no doubt about it
Youpidoo
You can't live without it
Youpidoo
You want me to prove it!
Want me to
Get down on my knees! Oh...

Youpidoo
You feel brokenhearted
Youpidoo
Life is so unstarted
Youpidoo
We were good together
Mon chouchou
Don't say never, ever!!!

Youpidou

Youpidou
Had enough of schooling
Youpidou
There's no one we're fooling!
Youpidou
Left my man I'm going
Gangster too
Al Capone was nothing

Youpidou
He's well named I'm certain
Youpidou
See him play the big man
No-one's fool...
With him, lost my senses
Youpidou
Laughed at me, pretences!

Love words too poor,
   too late I'm sure!
Last word you throw,
   you know I'll go.
Time to detour,
   where I'm not sure...
My feelings low,
   a big zero.
Love words too poor,
   too late I'm sure!
Last word you throw,
   you know I'll go.
Find my own way,
   where I'm not sure...
To get away,
   love live more so.

Youpidou
To be true my way now
Youpidou
To get through don't care how
Youpidou
Sulking blue he's feeling
Youpidou
We're all through I'm singing

Youpidou
Zooming to go faster
Youpidou
For me there's no master
Rendez-vous
For my future's stellar!
Bruised, not blue
Maybe more for later!
