Sir Godfrey est l'homme de Londres
C'est l'intime des gens du monde
Son parfait humour fait les beaux jours
De l'empire britannique
Il est snob à plus d'un titre
A son ch'val il donne des huîtres
Et fuit avec horreur toutes les jeunes filles en fleur
Cet homme un peu à part
Passe des heures au billard
Sans le moindre petit accroc
A chaque week-end il part
Pour la chasse aux canards
Ou le golf de casino
C'est le genre vieux garçon
Il tond son gazon
Par petits morceaux
A coups d'ciseaux
Il tomb'ra sur un ostrogot d'une grande famille
Qui voudra caser sa fille
Alors tout s'ra parfait pour ce cher Sir Godfrey
Mais on ne sait guère que cet homme exemplaire
En réalité s'appelle Smith
Et que depuis toujours chez Smith on est gangster
De père en fils
Attaques à main armée, hold-up en tous genres
Vieille renommée. maison de confiance
Eté comme hiver
Aujourd'hui comme hier
On est fils d'Albion, on respecte la tradition
Le brouillard descend sur Londres
Dans la nuit se glisse une ombre
Celle de Sir Godfrey, le roi du requiem
Systématique le voici à l'heure du crime
" l beg your pardon sir...
Your money please... please. Thank you sir "
Il traite toutes ses affaires dans les quartiers déserts
Oui mais si par hasard il entre dans un bar
Quelque part dans le Soho
Tous les mouvais garçons figés comme des glaçons
Ont soudain froid dans le dos
Sans dire un seul mot, il fait son boulot
Un trou dons la peau, un coup d'chopeou
A ceux qui manquent de policemen pour les défendre
Puis Godfrey va se faire pendre
Ailleurs et sans histoire disparaît dans l'brouillard
Trois heures qui sonnent, c'est le moment
Sir Godtrey frissonne, voici un autre client
- Ho... I beg your pardon sir. What time is it please ?
- Three o'clock
- Three o'clock ? oh, thank you sir, thank you
It's kind of you and... good night !
Yves Montand, stage name of Ivo Livi (Marseille, October 13, 1921 – Paris, November 9, 1991), was an Italian-born French singer and actor. Considered one of the greatest interpreters of French chanson in the 20th century, Montand combined vocal power with a deep interpretive sensibility. His career, which began in the 1940s in France, saw him collaborate with some of the most important names in French music and cinema, including Charles Aznavour, Edith Piaf and Jean-Luc Godard. Among his most famous songs are "Les Feuilles Mortes", "La Vie en Rose" (cover of Édith Piaf) and "Le Chant des Partisans". Montand also starred in numerous films, earning international recognition for his performance in "Red Sky" (1964), directed by Jean-Luc Godard.
