Queen Bitch (Sounds of the 70s - Bob Harris Recorded 18.1.72) [2000 Remastered Version]

Oh yeah

Oh oui

Uhh yeah

Uhh oui

I'm up on the eleventh floor and I'm watching the cruisers below

Je suis au onzième étage et je regarde les croiseurs en bas

Well, my heart's in the basement, my weekend's at an all-time low

Eh bien, mon cœur est au sous-sol, mon week-end est au plus bas

He's down on the street and he's trying hard to pull sister Flo

Il est dans la rue et il essaie désespérément de draguer sœur Flo

'Cause she's hoping to score, well I can't see her letting him go

Parce qu'elle espère marquer, eh bien, je ne la vois pas le laisser partir

Walk out of her heart, walk out of her mind

Sors de son cœur, sors de son esprit

Well She's so swishy in her satin and tat

Eh bien, elle est si élégante dans son satin et son tatouage

In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat

Dans son redingote et son chapeau bipperty-bopperty

Oh God, I could do better than that

Oh mon Dieu, je pourrais faire mieux que ça

She's an old-time ambassador of sweet-talking, night-walking games

Elle est une ambassadrice d'antan de jeux de drague et de marches nocturnes

And she's known in the darkest clubs for pushing ahead of the dames

Et elle est connue dans les clubs les plus sombres pour se frayer un chemin devant les dames

If she says she can do it, then she can do it, she don't make false claims

Si elle dit qu'elle peut le faire, alors elle peut le faire, elle ne fait pas de fausses déclarations

But she's a queen and such are queens that your laughter is sucked in their brains

Mais elle est une reine et les reines sont comme ça, votre rire est aspiré dans leur cerveau

Now she's leading him on, and she'll lay him right down

Maintenant, elle le laisse croire et elle le mettra à plat

Yes, she's leading him on, and she'll lay him right down

Oui, elle le laisse croire et elle le mettra à plat

But it could have been me, yes, it could have been me

Mais ça aurait pu être moi, oui, ça aurait pu être moi

Why didn't I say, why didn't I say, no, no, no

Pourquoi ne l'ai-je pas dit, pourquoi ne l'ai-je pas dit, non, non, non

She's so swishy in her satin and tat

Elle est si élégante dans son satin et son tatouage

In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat

Dans son redingote et son chapeau bipperty-bopperty

Oh God, I could do better than that

Oh mon Dieu, je pourrais faire mieux que ça

So I lay down a while and I gaze at my hotel wall

Alors je me couche un moment et je regarde le mur de mon hôtel

the cot feels so cold it don't feel like no bed at all

le lit est si froid que ça ne ressemble pas à un lit du tout

Yeah, I lay down a while and I gaze at my hotel wall

Ouais, je me couche un moment et je regarde le mur de mon hôtel

Well he's down on the street, so I throw both his bags down the hall

Eh bien, il est dans la rue, alors je jette ses deux sacs dans le couloir

And I'm phoning a cab 'cause my stomach feels small

Et je téléphone à un taxi parce que mon estomac est petit

There's a taste in my mouth but it's no taste at all

Il y a un goût dans ma bouche, mais ce n'est pas un goût du tout

It could have been me, oh yeah it could have been me

Ça aurait pu être moi, oh oui, ça aurait pu être moi

Why didn't I say, why didn't I say, no, no, no

Pourquoi ne l'ai-je pas dit, pourquoi ne l'ai-je pas dit, non, non, non

She's so swishy in her satin and tat

Elle est si élégante dans son satin et son tatouage

In her frock coat and bipperty-bopperty hat

Dans son redingote et son chapeau bipperty-bopperty

Oh God, I could do better than that

Oh mon Dieu, je pourrais faire mieux que ça

You betcha

Tu paries

Oh, yeah

Oh, oui
