Ca me déplairait pas que tu m'embrasses Na na na Mais faut saisir ta chance avant qu'elle passe Na na na Si tu cherches un truc pour briser la glace Banana banana banana C'est le dessert Que sert L'abominable homme des neiges A l'abominable enfant teenage Un amour de dessert Banana na na na na banana split Les cerises confites sont des lipsticks Na na na Qui laissent des marques rouges sur l'antarctique Na na na Et pour le faire fondre une tactique Banana banana banana Baisers givrés sur les montagnes blanches Na na na On dirait que les choses se déclenchent Na na na La chantilly s'écroule en avalanche Banana banana banana
