Lyrics
il est arrive oncle ben’s avec un drapeau
voici du riz '' il ne colle jamais ''
il ne nous restaient plus que la peau sur les os alors distribution de Dakar a Lom?
c’etait du riz long grain americain.
Des sacs partout mais pas un seul bouquin
les hommes ont dit puisque c’est dans les colis, qu'on trouve a manger
nous on reste au lit
il nous a donne la recette du bonheur
il nous a meme donner l’heure
Tonton D’America
il est arrive habill? comme un cow-boy
il etait beau comme un paquet de clope
avec dans sa hotte la derniere gameboy et des jouets de toutes sortes
des jouets qui valaient une fortune
et une fusee pour aller sur la lune.
Tonton D’America
on a jou?, quand les piles se sont us? es le cow boy a reprit sa gameboy.
il a dit aux moutons, fini de danser, c'est moi l’sheriff
vous serez les bads boy.
on a beau dire mais quand on est nus
meme au diable, on souhaite la bienvenue.
il a fait tous les endroits habit?
et c’est depuis
Lyrics translation
Uncle Ben's is coming with a flag
here is rice " it never sticks "
we were left with only the skin on the bones then distribution of Dakar a Lom?
it was American long grain rice.
Bags everywhere but not a single book
the men said since it is in the packages, that we find to eat
we stay in bed
he gave us the recipe for happiness
he even gave us the time
Uncle Of America
did he get dressed? like a cowboy
he was as handsome as a pack of cigarettes
with in his hood the latest gameboy and toys of all kinds
toys that were worth a fortune
and a rocket to go to the moon.
Uncle Of America
we got jou?, when did the batteries wear out? it's the Cowboy took over his gameboy.
he said to the sheep, finish dancing, I'm the sheriff
you'll be the bads boy.
we may say but when we are naked
even the Devil, We welcome you.
he did all the habit places?
and it's since
