You take life in your stride1
and you get crazy with your voitureé
you live up to date, rigurous fashion
and you never lack your one hundred bill
Let dad work! I'll be a swindler
is the chorus you always wear out
and among pubs, bets and girls
you waste what your dad earns
Hey, Laponia! you got that name
for the suit you wore for the first time
and makes you a fashion sketch
Those whale eyes
relish with the scene
of the judge cheese
You're a cheeky, you're a clever
you're a tasty banana2
you're a good rookie
All those girls who want your money
and who keep your pace with smiles
from a long time are fooling you
to leave you dry and abandoned
While your dad works and works
every morning, behind the counter
you, as a good son, you're so stupid
that if he earns a dime, you spend two
Hey, Laponia! you got that name
for the suit you wore for the first time
and makes you a fashion sketch
That cream color Palm Beach
looks like the very symbol
of the Saint's icecream
You're a cheeky, you're a clever
you're a tasty banana
you're a good rookie
S.O.S. you're a tasty banana
1. Literally: You drink life with wine and soda2. rascal
