A Well Respected Man (2014 Remastered Version)
Un homme très respecté (version remasterisée de 2014)
'Cause
he
gets
up
in
the
morning,
Parce
que
tu
te
lèves
le
matin,
And
he
goes
to
work
at
nine,
Et
tu
vas
au
travail
à
neuf
heures,
And
he
comes
back
home
at
five-thirty,
Et
tu
rentres
à
cinq
heures
et
demie,
Gets
the
same
train
every
time.
Tu
prends
le
même
train
à
chaque
fois.
'Cause
his
world
is
built
'round
punctuality,
Car
ton
monde
est
construit
autour
de
la
ponctualité,
It
never
fails.
Ça
ne
manque
jamais.
And
he's
oh,
so
good,
Et
tu
es
oh,
si
bon,
And
he's
oh,
so
fine,
Et
tu
es
oh,
si
bien,
And
he's
oh,
so
healthy,
Et
tu
es
oh,
si
sain,
In
his
body
and
his
mind.
Dans
ton
corps
et
dans
ton
esprit.
He's
a
well
respected
man
about
town,
Tu
es
un
homme
très
respecté
en
ville,
Doing
the
best
things
so
conservatively.
Qui
fait
les
meilleures
choses
de
façon
si
conservatrice.
And
his
mother
goes
to
meetings,
Et
ta
mère
va
à
des
réunions,
While
his
father
pulls
the
maid,
Pendant
que
ton
père
tire
la
bonne,
And
she
stirs
the
tea
with
councilors,
Et
elle
remue
le
thé
avec
des
conseillers,
While
discussing
foreign
trade,
Tout
en
discutant
du
commerce
extérieur,
And
she
passes
looks,
as
well
as
bills,
Et
elle
échange
des
regards,
ainsi
que
des
factures,
At
every
suave
young
man.
Avec
chaque
jeune
homme
suave.
'Cause
he's
oh,
so
good,
Parce
que
tu
es
oh,
si
bon,
And
he's
oh,
so
fine,
Et
tu
es
oh,
si
bien,
And
he's
oh,
so
healthy,
Et
tu
es
oh,
si
sain,
In
his
body
and
his
mind.
Dans
ton
corps
et
dans
ton
esprit.
He's
a
well
respected
man
about
town,
Tu
es
un
homme
très
respecté
en
ville,
Doing
the

so
conservatively.
Qui
fait
les

choses
de

And
he
likes
his
own
backyard,
Et
tu
aimes
ton
propre
jardin,
And
he
likes
his
fags
the
best,
Et
tu
aimes
tes
clopes
le
plus,
'Cause
he's
better
than
the
rest,
Parce
que
tu
es
meilleur
que
les
autres,
And
his
own
sweat
smells
the
best,
Et
ta
propre
sueur
sent
le
mieux,
And
he
hopes
to
grab
his
father's
loot,
Et
tu
espères
récupérer
le
butin
de
ton
père,
When
Pater
passes
on.
Quand
Pater
passera
de
l'autre
côté.
'Cause
he's
oh,
so
good,
Parce
que
tu
es
oh,
si
bon,
And
he's
oh,
so
fine,
Et
tu
es
oh,
si
bien,
And
he's
oh,
so
healthy,
Et
tu
es
oh,
si
sain,
In
his
body
and
his
mind.
Dans
ton
corps
et
dans
ton
esprit.

And
he
plays
at
stocks
and
shares,
Et
tu
joues
à
la
bourse,
And
he
goes
to
the
regatta,
Et
tu
vas
à
la
régate,
And
he
adores
the
girl
next
door,
Et
tu
adores
la
fille
d'à
côté,
'Cause
he's
dying
to
get
at
her,
Parce
que
tu
meurs
d'envie
de
l'avoir,
But
his
mother
knows
the
best
about
Mais
ta
mère
sait
ce
qu'il
y
a
de
mieux
The
matrimonial
stakes.
Concernant
les
enjeux
matrimoniaux.
'Cause
