[Dufebvre]

Oops, I goofed...

[Dufebvre]

Bourrage de crâne, lavage de cerveau Je sais m’y prendre avec les gogos Les poulets sont toujours à la bourre Ceux des polars n’en mènent pas lourds Quand mes indics font les grands ducs Fissa j’leur astique le trou duc’ On ne rigole pas avec les flics Et encore moins avec mézigue Détective privé, très privé, prouvé Détective privé, pas triste et approuvé Détective privé, ne reste rien à prouver Détective privé, c’est moi, j’suis tout trouvé

[Dufebvre]

Especially for the non-french speaking people, here are the french lyrycs of this song.

I would like to let you enjoy the sense of humor, but sorry, it's not quite easy to translate ! (LOL)

En public je suis un privé

Mais en privé je suis moins pudique

Expert en filature le jour

La nuit, je file le parfait amour

Les filles j’les aligne comme des coupables

J’les déguste quand elles se mettent à table

De série noire en ballets roses

J’leur en fais voir de toutes les couleurs

[Dufebvre]

Les caves en bavent, les durs endurent Les gros s’dégonflent comme des enflures Les tantes et les tontons flingueurs Rengainent leurs pétoires en douceur Quand je souris, c’est pas pour rigoler Je sors mon pétard, ça va péter Une balle perdue, dix de retrouvées Dans l’buffet froid d’un macchabée Je saque les bandes qui braquent les banques Je suis un crack qui plaque et branque J’remplis les panses et je vide les planques Les croque-morts ne sont jamais en manque

[hanuhutsulka]

What a classic song. I had the album as a kid but I don't think it was ever played on an American radio.

Great track, best on the album. Anybody have a translation or even a transcription of the lyrics? My French isn't quite up to the job.
