[Verse 1]
Zazou, what you gonna do?
There's a lot of people gunning for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
[Verse 2]

Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
In the night
[Verse 3]

Zazou, what you gonna do?
A knock on the door in the night
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Zazou. comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night

A knock on the door in the night
[Verse 6]

Unless they've already gone to Hell
In the streets you can hear the people say
"That Zazou, he should be locked away!"
[Chorus]
And when the soldiers strut
All he cares about is love
When the flags are out
All he cares about is love
Well there's a thin line between love and crime
And in this situation
A thin line between love and crime and
