Tonton d'america


Tonton D'America

il est arrive oncle ben's avec un drapeau
voici du riz '' il ne colle jamais ''
il ne nous restaient plus que la peau sur les os
alors distribution de Dakar a Lomé
c'etait du riz long grain americain .
Des sacs partout mais pas un seul bouquin
les hommes ont dit puisque c'est dans les colis,qu'on trouve a manger
nous on reste au lit
il nous a donne la recette du bonheur
il nous a meme donner l'heure

Tonton D'America

il est arrive habillé comme un cow-boy
il etait beau comme un paquet de clope
avec dans sa hotte la derniere gameboy et des jouets de toutes sortes
des jouets qui valaient une fortune
et une fusee pour aller sur la lune .

Tonton D'America

on a joué,quand les piles se sont usées
le cow boy a reprit sa gameboy .
il a dit aux moutons,fini de danser,c'est moi l'sheriff
vous serez les bads boy .
on a beau dire mais quand on est nus
meme au diable , on souhaite la bienvenue .
il a fait tous les endroits habité
et c'est depuis ; qu'aux 4 coins de la planete
on est tous assis a faire la meme dictée
tous a manger la meme bouillie dans l'assiette .

Tonton D'America

il a prit tout le zinc pour en faire le metro
il a prit nos cheveux , s'est fait la coupe afro
il a prit tout nos cafe , il a prit tout le cuivre
il est partit sans nous laisser la marche a suivre .

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
