Si vous êtes ébahis
Par mon attitude
C'est que là-bas dans mon pays
On n'a pas vos habitudes
Alors là c'est effarant !
Pourquoi effarant ?
Mais différent... Ah ! Ah !
Quand on aime la danse
Comment fait-on là-bas ?
On recule, on avance
A petits pas là-bas
Et de même qu'en France
On appelle ça la samba
Mais la seule différence
C'est qu'on n' la danse pas comme ça
Quand on aime une fille
Que fait-on là-bas ?
Ça se passe en famille
Et sans façon là-bas
On l'attrape au lasso
On l'emmène dans la pampa
Ah ! Comme on est bohème
Quand on aime là-bas
Et pour être à la mode
Que fait-on là-bas ?
C'est vraiment très commode
D'être dans l' ton là-bas
On se colle où je pense
Trois ou quatre feuilles d'ananas
Ça ne manque pas d'élégance
Et ça ne gêne pas sous les bras
{Refrain:}
Mais où, mais où, mais où, mais où
Se trouve ce pays si doux ?
Mais où, mais où, mais où, mais où ?
Ah vite dites-le-nous !
C'est pas à Panama-a-a
Ni à Porto Rico-o-o
C'est plus bas que Cuba-a-a
Plus haut que Bilbao-o-o
Et comment y va-t-on j' vous prie ?
Très bien, je vous remercie.
Et pour la nourriture
Comment fait-on là-bas ?
On se tape des fritures
A notre façon là-bas
On y met du persil
De l'ail et du chocolat
Et quand tout est bien cuit
On se tape deux ?ufs sur le plat
Quand on n'a rien à faire
Où s'en va-t-on là-bas ?
Tous au bord de la mer
Nous nous couchons là-bas
Là on dort ou l'on rêve
Et je vous jure qu'on ne s'embête pas
Faire le tas sur la grève
Ça vaut la grève sur le tas
{au Refrain}
C'est pas à Mexico-o-o
C'est pas au Paraguay-ay-ay
C'est plus beau qu' Santiago-o-o
Plus gai que l'Uruguay-ay-ay
Et comment y va-t-on de grâce ?
Changez à Montparnasse ! Eh eh
Et pour la politique
Comment fait-on là-bas ?
Tout le monde s'explique
A coups de bâton là-bas
Un bon coup sur le crâne
Ça vaut tous les coups d'Etat
Y a que pour les bananes
Que le régime ne change pas
Nous serions tous ravis
Si nous allions là-bas
Mais pour gagner sa vie
Comment fait-on là-bas ?
Le dimanche, on se repose
Les autres jours, on se croise les bras
Pour voir la vie en rose
Il faut aller là-bas.
{au Refrain}
