Lyrics and translation George Formby - Wunga Bunga Boo
To
take
a
trip
on
a
great
big
ship
Pour
faire
un
voyage
sur
un
grand
bateau
One
day
I
took
the
notion
Un
jour,
j'ai
eu
l'idée
Yo-ho,
(Yo-ho,
Yo-ho)
Yo-ho,
(Yo-ho,
Yo-ho)
But
the
ship
got
wrecked
which
I
didn't
expect
Mais
le
bateau
a
fait
naufrage,
ce
que
je
ne
m'attendais
pas
And
it
tipped
me
in
the
ocean
Et
il
m'a
jeté
à
l'océan
Yo-ho,
(Yo-ho,
Yo-ho)
Yo-ho,
(Yo-ho,
Yo-ho)
I
swam
around
for
umpteen
weeks
J'ai
nagé
pendant
des
semaines
And
reached
a
Zulu
isle
Et
j'ai
atteint
une
île
zouloue
With
the
aid
of
a
rope
and
a
bar
of
soap
Avec
l'aide
d'une
corde
et
d'un
savon
I
landed
with
a
smile
J'ai
atterri
avec
un
sourire
On
Wunga
Bunga
Boo,
on
Wunga
Bunga
Boo
Sur
Wunga
Bunga
Boo,
sur
Wunga
Bunga
Boo
Where
dressings
not
extensive
Où
les
vêtements
ne
sont
pas
chers
And
floors
are
not
expensive
Et
les
sols
ne
sont
pas
chers
The
girls
out
there
are
really
beauts
Les
filles
là-bas
sont
vraiment
belles
And
walk
out
in
their
bathing
suits
Et
se
promènent
en
maillot
de
bain
A
string
of
beads
and
Russian
boots
Un
collier
de
perles
et
des
bottes
russes
In
Wunga
Bunga
Boo
À
Wunga
Bunga
Boo
I
heard
a
roar
upon
the
shore
J'ai
entendu
un
rugissement
sur
le
rivage
And
the
chief
said,
"Pleased
to
meet
you"
Et
le
chef
a
dit:
"Ravi
de
te
rencontrer"
Yo-ho,
(Yo-ho,
Yo-ho)
Yo-ho,
(Yo-ho,
Yo-ho)
And
"You
look"
he
said
"like
dairy
fed
Et
"Tu
as
l'air",
a-t-il
dit,
"nourri
au
lait
It'll
do
us
good
to
eat
you"
Ce
sera
bon
pour
nous
de
te
manger"
Yo
ho,
(Yo-ho,
Yo-ho)
Yo-ho,
(Yo-ho,
Yo-ho)
"The
last
white
meat
we
had
to
eat
"La
dernière
viande
blanche
que
nous
avons
mangée
Was
an
old
man
lean
and
bald
Était
un
vieil
homme
maigre
et
chauve
When
cooked,
we
found
that
he
didn't
go
round
Quand
on
l'a
cuisiné,
on
a
trouvé
qu'il
ne
suffisait
pas
So
we're
very
glad
you
called"
Alors
on
est
très
content
que
tu
sois
venu"
On

While
fighting
Big
Chief
Coco
Alors
que
je
me
battais
contre
Big
Chief
Coco
He
went
and
lost
his
Boko
Il
a
perdu
son
Boko
The
doctor
stuck
it
on
quite
pat
Le
docteur
l'a
remis
en
place
But
upside
down,
now
fancy
that
Mais
à
l'envers,
imagine
ça
He
blew
his
nose
and
lost
his
hat
Il
s'est
mouché
et

perdu
son
chapeau

A

Un

l'a
poursuivi
