Even if I like school and lessons,1
I also have an insane mind full of songs
This is a passion that goes on day and night
So I beg you:
Oh papa, buy me a jukebox
Oh papa, I dream so much of a jukebox
If you buy it for me, I promise you
That I will no longer go out in the evening
And you will find me doing my homework
Listening to Elvis Presley, The Black Socks, and Johnny Halliday
(Marilyn) What are they talking about?
(Marilyn) But it's not at all that
(Marilyn) But what is she doing here?
Oh papa, buy me a jukebox
Oh papa, you can give me a jukebox
There is room for it in the house
It can be installed in a corner of the living room
It's really idеal for creating a family atmosphere
Lеt's listen to Elvis Presley, The Black Socks, and Johnny Halliday!
(Marilyn) Elvis Presley
(Marilyn) The Black Socks
(Marilyn) One more time!
Every Saturday, I will invite my friends
To dance, to twist
We will push back the furniture and then take up the carpets
We will make for you a true surprise party
Oh papa, buy me a jukebox
Oh papa, when I get my jukebox
I can, thanks to friends
Save up a lot of money in little time
Because they will put their coins in the slot
To listen to Elvis Presley, The Black Socks, and Johnny Halliday
(Marilyn) And the next Sunday
(Marilyn) we will buy tickets
To see Elvis Presley, The Black Socks, and Johnny Halliday
(Marilyn) But they did not understand at all
(Marilyn) She's still here
(Marilyn) After all, why not?
