J'fais mon footing au milieu des algues et des coraux Et j'fais mes pompes sur les restes d'un vieux cargo J'dis bonjour, faut bien que j'me mouille C'est ma dernière surprise partie j'm'écrase le nez au hublot J'ai mon contrat d'confiance, l'encéphalo qui faut J'ai du bol, j'en vois un qui rigole Oh Gaby, Gaby Tu devrais pas m'laisser la nuit J'peux pas dormir, j'fais qu'des conneries Oh Gaby, Gaby Tu veux qu'j'te chante la mer Le long, le long, le long des golfes Pas très clairs En r'gardant les résultats d'son check-up Un requin qui fumait plus a rallumé son clop Ça fait frémir Faut savoir dire stop (stop) Tu sais, tu sais c'est comme ce type qui voudrait que j'me soigne Et qu'abandonne son clebs au mois d'août en Espagne J'sens comme un vide Remets-moi Johnny Kidd Oh Gaby, Gaby Tu devrais pas m'laisser la nuit J'peux pas dormir, j'fais qu'des conneries Oh Gaby, Gaby Tu veux qu'j'te chante la mer Le long, le long, le long des golfes Pas très clairs Gaby, j't'ai déjà dit qu't'es bien plus belle que Mauricette Qu'est belle comme un pétard qu'attend plus qu'une allumette Ça fait craquer Au feu, les pompiers Aujourd'hui c'est vendredi et j'voudrais bien qu'on m'aime J'sens qu'j'vais encore finir chez Wanda et ses sirènes, et ses sirènes Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, Gaby, Gaby Tu devrais pas m'laisser la nuit J'peux pas dormir, j'fais qu'des conneries Oh Gaby, Gaby Tu veux qu'je te chante la mer Le long, le long, le long des golfes Pas très clairs Gaby Gaby Alors à quoi ça sert la frite si t'as pas les moules Ça sert à quoi l'cochonnet si t'as pas les boules? Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
