Lyrics and translation Allan Sherman - I’d Love to be a Spanish Flea
It's
good
to
be
a
Spanish
flea
C'est
bon
d'être
une
puce
espagnole
The
Spanish
dogs
all
scratch
at
me
Les
chiens
espagnols
se
grattent
tous
à
cause
de
moi
I
make
my
home
in
a
spaniel
Je
fais
mon
nid
dans
un
épagneul
Called
Jose
or
Manuel
Qui
s'appelle
José
ou
Manuel
Or
Juan
Ou
Juan
And
I
wouldn't
put
you
on
Et
je
ne
t'en
ferai
pas
part
My
summer
place
is
some
great
dane
Ma
résidence
d'été
est
un
grand
danois
In
Barcelona,
northern
Spain
À
Barcelone,
dans
le
nord
de
l'Espagne
And
though
it
rains
in
July
Et
même
s'il
pleut
en
juillet
I
keep
dry
way
up
high
Je
reste
au
sec
tout
en
haut
'Cause
the
rain
Parce
que
la
pluie
Falls
mainly
in
the
plain
Tombe
principalement
dans
la
plaine
Ah,
but
in
the
wintertime
Ah,
mais
en
hiver
I
find
a
cozy
saint
bernard
Je
trouve
un
saint-bernard
douillet
Up
the
Spanish
Alps
we
climb
Nous
grimpons
dans
les
Alpes
espagnoles
Complete
with
anti-freeze
Avec
du
liquide
antigel
More
brandy,
please
Encore
du
brandy,
s'il
te
plaît
I've
got
a
sweetheart
flea,
cute
kid
J'ai
une
petite
amie
puce,
une
adorable
petite
Lives
on
a
beagle
near
Madrid
Elle
vit
sur
un
beagle
près
de
Madrid
If
she
can
sublet
her
beagle
Si
elle
peut
sous-louer
son
beagle
I'll
make
her
my
legal
Je
la
prendrai
pour
ma
femme
First
wife
Légale
And
we'll
live
a
dog's
life
Et
nous
vivrons
une
vie
de
chien
But
if
she
refuses
me
Mais
si
elle
me
refuse
I'm
gonna
shout,
"Who
cares!"
Je
vais
crier
: "Qui
s'en
soucie !"
And
move
somewheres
Et
déménager
quelque
part
Perchance
I'll
fly
to
southern
France
Peut-être
que
je
m'envolerai
pour
le
sud
de
la
France
Where
any
flea
can
find
romance
Où
toute
puce
peut
trouver
l'amour
I'll
pack
my
kit
and
caboodle
J'empaqueterai
mes
affaires
And
find
me
a
poodle
Et
je
trouverai
un
caniche
And
dance
Et
danser
'Scuse
me,
Rover,
which
way's
France?
Excuse-moi,
Rover,
comment
aller
en
France ?
