Seven hundred millions of Chinese
And I and I and I
With my life, my little house
With my headache, my mind
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
Eighty millions of Indonesians
And I and I and I
With my car and my dog
His dog food when he is barking
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
Three or four hundred millions of Black people
And I and I and I
Who goes to the solarium
To the sauna to lose weight
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
Three hundred millions of Soviets
And I and I and I
With my obsessions and my tics
In my little bed of goose plumes
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
Fifty millions of imperfect people
And I and I and I
Who are watching Catherine Langeais
On television at home
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
Nine hundred millions who peg out from hunger
And I and I and I
With my vegetarian diet
And all the whisky which I am boozing
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
Five hundred millions of South Americans
And I and I and I
I am all nude in my batroom
With a girl who is drying me
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
Fifty millions of Vietnamese
And I and I and I
On sundays I am on the prowl for rabbits
With my rifle, I am the king
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
Five hundred milliards of little Martians
And I and I and I
Like a Parisian fool
I am waiting for my check at the end of month
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
I am thinking about it and then I forget it
That's life, that's life
