Lyrics and translation Adam Ant - Vive Le Rock

Vive Le Rock

Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

I try to tell you but you just don't understand
You've got my entire life in your hands
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well, you don't know what you're missing
'Cos you don't know what you got

And if the enemy don't see it your way
Be smart, play dead, live to fight a new day
And vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well you don't know what you're missing
'Cos you don't know what you got

Vive le rock, vive le rock
Vive le rock

If this is it then I'm afraid it's not enough
Here's Johnny and he's calling your bluff
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh well you don't know what you're doing
'Cos you don't know what is what

Vive le rock, vive le rock
(Look out! rockers going Starwars!)

Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

You're scratching records but you won't be scratching mine
Don't give me chish-chash in rinky-dink time
Just vive le rock, vive le rock
Well I've been where I was going
And it's not Tom of Finland

Vive le rock, vive le rock
Vive le rock

Bang bang you're dead
Did not, did too
Stop diddy-bopping buddy
Bouncing Betty on you

Look Ma, I'm on top of the world

Vive Le Rock

Bang bang, tu es mort
Non, si
Arrête de diddy-bopper, mon pote
Bouncing Betty sur toi

Bang bang, tu es mort
Non, si
Arrête de diddy-bopper, mon pote
Bouncing Betty sur toi

J'essaie de te le dire, mais tu ne comprends pas
Tu as toute ma vie entre tes mains
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh, eh bien, tu ne sais pas ce qui te manque
Parce que tu ne sais pas ce que tu as

Et si l'ennemi ne voit pas les choses à ta manière
Sois malin, fais le mort, vis pour combattre un nouveau jour
Et vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh, eh bien, tu ne sais pas ce qui te manque
Parce que tu ne sais pas ce que tu as

Vive le rock, vive le rock
Vive le rock

Si c'est ça, alors je crains que ce ne soit pas assez
Voici Johnny et il appelle ton bluff
Vive le rock, vive le rock
Oh, eh bien, tu ne sais pas ce que tu fais
Parce que tu ne sais pas ce qui est quoi

Vive le rock, vive le rock
(Attention ! les rockers vont à la guerre des étoiles !)

Bang bang, tu es mort
Non, si
Arrête de diddy-bopper, mon pote
Bouncing Betty sur toi

Bang bang, tu es mort
Non, si
Arrête de diddy-bopper, mon pote
Bouncing Betty sur toi

Tu grattes des disques, mais tu ne gratteras pas les miens
Ne me donne pas de chish-chash au rythme de rinky-dink
Juste vive le rock, vive le rock
Eh bien, j'ai été là où j'allais
Et ce n'est pas Tom of Finland

Vive le rock, vive le rock
Vive le rock

Bang bang, tu es mort
Non, si
Arrête de diddy-bopper, mon pote
Bouncing Betty sur toi

Regarde, Maman, je suis au sommet du monde
