We didn't go to school
We are from the class of those who laugh
We know well that life is short
We put laughter and dreams into it
In city dinners we are not very brilliant
But we always end up singing

And we spin the napkins
Like little weathervanes
It gives us wind in the quilts
It's silly, it's silly
But it's good for the head

And all the grumpy ones
We don't care
And all the envious ones
We don't care
All the pretentious ones
We don't care
People too serious
We don't care

Happiness in perpetuity
The whole world wants to know the secret
Even the leader who is at the Elysée
To know, invited us
Mr. President, thank you for the meal
It's simply enough to do this

And we spin the napkins
Like little weathervanes
It gives us wind in the quilts
It's silly, it's silly
But it's good for the head

And all the grumblers
We don't care
The lesson givers
We don't care
The big opinions
We don't care
The sad and the fools
We don't care

And we spin the napkins
Like little weathervanes
It gives us wind in the quilts
It's silly, it's silly
But it's good for the head

And go
