La Java
La Java
When Saturday comes
Without doing my nails
Or getting dressed up
We rush off
Me and my boy
To a dance hall with an accordion band
Where we find ourselves
Amongst the nerdy guys
And the real gigolettes 1
Two by two we turn, we turn
Humming along to the sound of the accordion
(Chorus:)
What's going on?
The foxtrot
And even the shimmy
The English steps
The Scottish
And everything that goes with it
It's the java
The old mazurka
Of old Sevastopol
I'm your little girl
I'm your chick
You're my boy
Right next to you
Hold me
Tight in your arms
I'll follow you
I'll do whatever you want
When you hold me
In my heart I feel
A kind of vertigo
I love your cap
Your two sideburns
And your cigarette butt
But on Boulevard Saint Germain
The upper crust
Have no principles
As soon as the poor
Have something good
They have to steal it from them
Now high society
Tries in vain
To copy our kind
And the high class hookers in the salons
Sing while swooning over their clients
(Chorus)
- 1. Gigolettes were female dancing partners for hire in the 1920s.
