Lyrics and translation Chas & Dave - Gertcha
Now
there's
a
word
that
I
don't
understand
Alors
voilà
un
mot
que
je
ne
comprends
pas
I
hear
it
every
day
from
my
old
man
Je
l'entends
tous
les
jours
de
mon
vieux
It
may
be
Cockney
rhyming
slang
C'est
peut-être
du
Cockney
rhyming
slang
It
ain't
in
no
school
book
Il
n'est
dans
aucun
manuel
scolaire
He
says
it
every
time
that
he
gets
mad
Il
le
dit
à
chaque
fois
qu'il
se
fâche
A
regular
caution
is
my
old
dad
Mon
vieux
est
un
véritable
avertissement
Rub
the
old
man
up
the
wrong
way,
bet
your
life
you'll
hear
him
say
Fâche
le
vieux,
parie
que
tu
l'entendras
dire
Gertcha,

That's

Now

was
a
Desert
Rat
Le

hat
Short

How
me
mother
could
have
fancied
that
Comment
ma
mère
a
pu
le
trouver
beau
I
just
don't
know
Je
ne
sais
pas
But
when
the
enemy
came
in
sight
Mais
quand
l'ennemi
est
apparu
They
gave
up
without
a
fight
Ils
ont
abandonné
sans
se
battre
They
rubbed
him
up
the
wrong
way
Ils
l'ont
énervé
This
is
what
they
heard

say
Voici
ce
qu'ils
ont
entendu
dire
