Lyrics

Auxerre c’est pas Memphis
Engel c’est pas Hendrix
Si un jour j’ai un fils
Il s’appellera sûrement pas Jerry Lee
Neuilly Beverly Hills
Douze mille kilomètres
Si un jour j’ai un fils
Il s’appellera sûrement pas John ou Ted
Mais je rêve d'être un jour
Une big fat mama singing the blues
Big fat mama
Big fat mama
Big fat mama
Big fat mama singing the blues
Mon père aime le Bordeaux
Et pas trop le Whisky
Dans le Colorado
Le Saint-Émilion c’est comme le Vichy
Quand je sors de chez moi
J’ai pas de revolver
Mais en Alabama
Si t’en a pas, on t’envoie en enfer
Mais je rêve d'être un jour
Une big fat mama singing the blues
Big fat mama
Big fat mama
Big fat mama
Big fat mama singing the blues
Big fat mama
Big fat mama
Big fat mama
Big fat mama singing the blues

Lyrics translation

Auxerre is not Memphis
Engel's not Hendrix.
If one day I have a son
He's probably not gonna be named Jerry Lee.
Neuilly Beverly Hills
Twelve thousand kilometers
If one day I have a son
He probably won't be named John or Ted.
But I dream of being one day
A big fat mama singing the blues
Big fat mom
Big fat mom
Big fat mom
Big fat mom singing the blues
My father loves Bordeaux
And not too much whiskey
In Colorado
The Saint-Emilion is like the Vichy
When I get out of my house
I don't have a gun.
But in Alabama
If you don't, we'll send you to hell.
But I dream of being one day
A big fat mama singing the blues
Big fat mom
Big fat mom
Big fat mom
Big fat mom singing the blues
Big fat mom
Big fat mom
Big fat mom
Big fat mom singing the blues
