Ex‐fan des sixties by Jane Birkin

Ex-fan des sixties, petite baby doll
Comme tu dansais bien le rock'n'roll
Ex-fan des sixties, où sont tes années folles?
Que sont devenues toutes tes idoles?
Où est l'ombre des Shadows
Des Byrds, des Doors
Des Animals, des Moody Blues
Séparés, McCartney
George Harrison
Et Ringo Starr et John Lennon

Comme tu dansais bien le rock'n'roll

Que sont devenues toutes tes idoles?
