HIP ET TAIAUTS
Ils ont volé mon traîneau cher,
Ils ont volé mon traîneau cher
Qund ça a vu j'étais chaud cher,
Ils ont ram'né mon traîneau.
Ça a volé mon chapeau, cher,
Ça a volé mon capot, cher,
Quand ça a vu -j'étais chaud, cher,
Ça a ram'né mon traîneau.
C'est le Hip Et Taîauts, cher,
Qu' a volé -mon traîneau cher
Quand ça a vu -j'étais chaud, cher,
Ça a ram'né mon traîneau.

TROUBLES BACK IN TOWN
Look who's coming down the street
Big brown eyes an' smile so sweet
Uh-oh, troubles back in town
I feel a sad old memory
Coming back to torture me
Uh-oh, troubles back in town
Funny, he still looks the same
Time has brought so little change
Why did he turn up again
Just when my heart was on the mend?
Wish I didn't love him so
Better hide until he goes
Uh-oh, troubles back in town
Funny, he still looks the same
Time has brought so little change
Why did he turn up again
Just when my heart was on the mend?
Wish I didn't love him so
Better hide until he goes
Uh-oh, troubles back in town
Uh-oh, troubles back in town
