You can't do anything when you're little
Enough is enough, all these restrictions!
Go and get your darts from your gun back
From the neighbour's forehead
Don't dye the dog's hair
With the bottle of china ink
Let granny rest in peace
Her armchair isn't a ship
You can't dismantle her
Your grandmother isn't a robot
Enough already, where have you seen
Anyone fill the sink with wine
To find out if our turtle
Knew how to swim in sauvignon
And what is that obnoxious smell?
How many times must I remind you
That our microwave oven
Doesn't read DVDs?
{Chorus:}
You can't do anything when you're little
Enough is enough, all these restrictions!
The day will come when I'll have all the rights
And that day, I'll be the law
Is every day "April fools' days"
you know, really, I've enough on my back already 1
Your lego fills the car
And you Playmobil in the fridge
The hamster is getting obese
Since you've been bottle feeding him
From the mayonnaise tube
I'm not sure that he likes it
Playing doctor is no good
And frankly you overdo it
Don't use you cousin to practise
Open heart surgery
It's enough to make one faint
That's the cherry on the cake:
He's drawn a little man
In Nutella on my coat
{Chorus}
How do you explain this:
I found the remote control
For the telly in the cat litter box
There are times, I swear, you wonder!
Will you leave that cat in peace
Look at me that poor beast
Don't make scoubidous
With Pépette's whiskers 2
What is your sister doing in the cherry tree?
What's that "She's in orbit"?
How many times must I tell you
Justine is not a satellite!
We're only at peace when you sleep
And even then the last time
We found a side of pork
When we slipped under the sheets
{x2:}
You can't do anything when you're little
Enough is enough, all these restrictions!
The day will come when I'll have all the rights
And that day, I'll be the law
Oh yes? You sure?
Yes, on that day I'll be the king
Yes, on that day I'll do anything!
Don't do this, don't do that!
You're going to fall, what have you been told?
Don't do this, don't do that!
Listen to what your father tell you!
Don't do this, don't do that!
Tidy your room, turn off the computer!
Listen to what your mother tells you!
It's true what I say, you can't do anything!
1. The april fools' day tradition is to pin a paper fish on the victim's back. This makes for a pun in the next line's "I've had a back full"2. a kind of loom band, like a friendship bracelet
