Verse (0:18)
B You'll be sorry when the sun has roasted you to B Lobster red, nothing said B When yellow has turned green to brown, divide by four B Multiply by nine, describe your divisions, anatomical derision
Chorus (0:40)
B Lobster head and lobster feet GA On arriving with a third language GAB Tucked into your brief case, next to your toothbrush GA Along with a copy of the 'Nouvel Observateur'
BE While your sons and daughters who registered naught B Under intensive electronic scanning BE You regard your body with regard to events B With which nothing planned
Chorus (1:11)
B Never lacked a sense of theater GA On returning with the tab you've gained GAB A head of world service, the best of your culture GAB An evening of fun in the metropolis of your dream
Outro (1:24)
GAB An evening of fun in the metropolis of your dream (x8 and fade out)
