Lyrics and translation George Formby - The Emperor Of Lancashire
I′ve
got
a
feeling
it's
my
lucky
day,
come
on
fellers
I′m
on
my
way,
J'ai
le
pressentiment
que
c'est
mon
jour
de
chance,
allez
les
gars,
je
suis
en
route,
I'm
going
right
up
to
the
top
of
the
tree,
so
come
right
in
and
have
a
drink
with
me.
Je
vais
tout
en
haut
de
l'arbre,
alors
entrez
et
prenez
un
verre
avec
moi.
It
won't
be
long
till
I
make
my
pile,
then
I′ll
live
in
the
grandest
style.
Ça
ne
sera
pas
long
avant
que
je
fasse
fortune,
alors
je
vivrai
dans
le
plus
grand
style.
I′ll
be
a
Cotton
King
yes
sir,
I'll
be
the
Emperor
Of
Lancashire
Je
serai
un
roi
du
coton
oui
madame,
je
serai
l'empereur
du
Lancashire
I′ll
have
a
retinue
ten
miles
long,
and
an
army
ten
million
strong
J'aurai
une
suite
longue
de
dix
milles,
et
une
armée
de
dix
millions
d'hommes
Big
white
elephants,
by
the
score,
and
a
fleet
at
anchor
off
the
Wigan
shore
De
gros
éléphants
blancs,
par
dizaines,
et
une
flotte
au
mouillage
au
large
de
la
rive
de
Wigan
Don't
you
recognize
who
I
am?
You′ve
got
to
give
me
a
big
salaam.
Tu
ne
reconnais
pas
qui
je
suis
? Il
faut
que
tu
me
fasses
un
grand
salut.
You've
got
to
end
with
a
vote
of
thanks,
to
the
Emperor
Of
Lancs...
Il
faut
que
tu
termines
par
un
vote
de
remerciement,
à
