How To Make Arm Stockings

Boppe Hip hip hip hurray

Sung by France Gall:


Translation after the jump ...


Teenie Weenie Teenie Weenie Boppe
Bopper
Took LSD

Took LSD A sugar and here
Sugar (cube?) And here it is
At the edge of madness
At The Edge Of Insanity

A Rolls the touches of his wing
A Roll The keys of it's wing
A prince of the Rock is driving
A prince of Rock is at the Wheel
It is sign waving to her
He Waved At Her
Its fine lace and ruffles
His fine lace and ruffles

Teenie Weenie Teenie Weenie Boppe
Bopper
Took LSD

Took LSD A sugar and here
Sugar (cube?) And here it is
Ashore
fainted on the ground fainting

A large boy dressed in Confederate
A boy in a large southern outfit
He tends his two white-gloved hands
He extends His two hands gloved in white
On his finger a purple amethyst
On His finger was purple amethyst
In the scratching was stained with blood
scratching They Were In The stained With Blood

Teenie Weenie Teenie Weenie Boppe
Bopper
Took LSD

Took LSD A sugar and here
Sugar (cube?) and here it is
Already in agony Already in agony


What are these flowers exquisite colors
What are These Flowers With exquisite colors?
drifting with the current?
That With The drift current
that Mick Jagger is in the Thames
It's Mick Jagger that's in the Thames
drowned in her beautiful clothes
Drowned In His beautiful clothes

Teenie Weenie Teenie Weenie Boppe

Bopper died in the night
Died in the night
What? but taking
From what? Taking aim
A dose of LSD
One dose of LSD

Lyrics by Serge Gainsbourg, Translation by Greg Smith
