I received a letter
Maybe a month ago
Arrived by mistake
Postman's clumsiness
Sprayed with perfume
Carmine lipstick
I should have this letter
Maybe not open it

But I am a man
Who likes this kind of game
I don't mind if she calls me
Alphonse or Fred, as she wishes
(Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)
As she wishes
(Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)

Pretty daisies
On top of her "i"s
Handwritten curves
Like in abbeys
Some spelling mistakes
A slight dyslexia
And as a signature
"Your little sexy blonde"

And I am a man
Who likes this kind of game
I don't like nuns
And I fell in love with her
(Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)
In love (pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)

She writes that on Sunday
She will be on the cliff
Where I took her by the hips
And in the hypothesis
Where I wouldn't have the tact
To assume my frolics
She will choose the impact
Thirty meters below

And I am a man
Who likes this kind of stake
I don't want her to knock herself out
Because I fell in love with her
(Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)
In love (pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)

And thanks to the postmark
From a town on the Channel
I was at the outpost
On Sunday morning
The place was deserted
I will have to be patient
There aren't a hundred
Suicidal blondes

And I am a man
Who likes this kind of stake
I want to beat Newton
Because I fell in love with her
(Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)
In love (pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)

She was overlooking the Channel
When I recognized her
I grabbed by the sleeve
My little naive girl
Who wasn't so much
Considering the profile
That a little inhabitant
Was making under her navel

And I am a man
Who likes this kind of stake
I don't mind if he calls me
"Dad" if he wants
(Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)
If he wants! (Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)

And I am a man
Who likes this kind of stake
I don't mind if he calls me
"Dad" if he wants
(Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)
If he wants! (Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)

Payapapa yapapa
Payapapa papapa
Yapapa yapapa
Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa
(Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)
Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa
(Pa-ya-pa-pa, pa-pa-ya-pa)
