Lyrics and translation Allan Sherman - Sam You Made The Pants Too Long
You
made
the
coat
and
vest
Tu
as
fait
le
manteau
et
le
gilet
Should
fit
me
the
best.
Devraient
me
convenir
au
mieux.
You
sewed
the
buttons
strong.
Tu
as
cousu
les
boutons
solidement.
But
Sam,
you
made
the
pants
too
long.
Mais
Sam,
tu
as
fait
le
pantalon
trop
long.
Far
from
the
Bronx
I
flew,
Loin
du
Bronx,
j'ai
volé,
Around
the
world
to
you,
Autour
du
monde
jusqu'à
toi,
'Cause
they
said
you're
the
best
custom
tailor
in
Hong
Kong.
Parce
qu'ils
ont
dit
que
tu
étais
le
meilleur
tailleur
sur
mesure
à
Hong
Kong.
Sam,
you
made
the
pants
'bout
a
foot
and
a
half
too
long.
Sam,
tu
as
fait
le
pantalon
d'environ
un
pied
et
demi
trop
long.
First
I
took
a
jet,
D'abord,
j'ai
pris
un
jet,
Then
I
took
a
clipper,
Puis
j'ai
pris
un
clipper,
Then
I
took
a
ricksha
to
your
door.
Puis
j'ai
pris
un
pousse-pousse
jusqu'à
ta
porte.
And
now
Sam,
I
regret,
Et
maintenant
Sam,
je
regrette,
My
chin's
caught
in
my
zipper,
Mon
menton
est
pris
dans
ma
fermeture
éclair,
And
my
cuffs
are
down
there
polishing
the
floor.
Et
mes
poignets
sont
là-bas
à
cirer
le
sol.
Oh,
what
a
thrill
divine,
Oh,
quelle
émotion
divine,
When
I
first
saw
your
sign.
Quand
j'ai
vu
ton
enseigne
pour
la
première
fois.
It
said,
"For
service,
kindly
bong
the
gong."
Elle
disait
: "Pour
le
service,
veuillez
frapper
le
gong."
I
bonged,
and
then
mine
pants
went
wrong.
J'ai
frappé,
et
ensuite
mon
pantalon
a
mal
tourné.
I
don't
like
to
complain,
Je
n'aime
pas
me
plaindre,
Or
cause
a
demonstration,
Ou
provoquer
une
manifestation,
But
the
belt
is
in
my
armpits,
if
you
please.
Mais
la
ceinture
est
dans
mes
aisselles,
s'il
te
plaît.
I'm
trying
to
explain,
J'essaie
d'expliquer,
My
pants
need
alteration.
Mon
pantalon
a
besoin
d'être
retouché.
How
do
you
say
"oy
vay"
in
Chinese?
Comment
dit-on
"oy
vay"
en
chinois
?
I've
been
here
six
long
weeks.
Je
suis
ici
depuis
six
longues
semaines.
My
pagoda
leaks.
Ma
pagode
fuit.
I
thought
your
name
was
Feldman,
but
it's
Fong!
Je
pensais
que
ton
nom
était
Feldman,
mais
c'est
Fong !
Sam
Fong,
you
made
the
pants
too
long!
Sam
Fong,
tu
as
fait
le
pantalon
trop
long !
