ROCK 'N ROAD
Titre original: "Reelin' And Rockin'"

Eddy Mitchell (France)


La vie de road est un dur, dur métier
Toujours derrière la Star, sans jamais se montrer
J'regarde ma montre, il est temps d'y aller
Demain j'ai un gala, mille bornes en matinée
C'est ça, vivre le Rock'n'Road
Bière, sandwich, autoroute et camion à rôder
Je suis sur place, il faut tout installer
La scène est en plein air, la pluie s'met à tomber
C'est ça, vivre le Rock'n'Road
Fatigué, enrhumé, voire même court-circuité
La Star est là, elle a très bien chanté
Le concert est fini, je dois tout remballer
C'est ça, vivre le Rock'n'Road
Arriver le premier et partir le dernier
C'est pas tout ça mais j'aimerai bien manger
Boire un verre bien relax, bien sûr tout est fermé
C'est ça, vivre le Rock'n'Road
Jamais de trois étoiles et l'ulcère assuré
La fille au bar, je l'ai bien regardée
Je la trouvais très moche, maintenant c'est une beauté
C'est ça, vivre le Rock'n'Road
Etre un peu mythomane mais un moral d'acier
Le type au bar, lui m'a très bien noté
Il est trois fois comme moi, il va bien s'amuser
C'est ça, vivre le Rock'n'Road
Savoir prendre le large et surtout encaisser
Les flics, les notaires, les gendarmes, les huissiers
Viennent nous demander l'heure
Nous nous sommes envolés
C'est ça, vivre le Rock'n'Road
Tant qu'il y aura à boire et des filles à aimer
La vie de road est un dur, dur métier
Toujours derrière la Star, sans jamais se montrer.

REELIN' AND ROCKIN'
Chuck Berry


Reelin' And Rockin'

Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
Some-times I will, then again I think I won't.
Some- times I do, then again I think I don't.

Well, I looked at my watch it was nine twenty one
'twas at a rock 'n' roll dance havin' nothin' but fun.
We were rollin' reelin' and a- rockin'.
We were reelin' and a- rockin' and rollin' till the break of dawn

Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine thirty-two,
There's nothin' I'd rather do than dance with you.
We were rollin', reelin' and a-rockin'...

Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine forty-three,
And every time I'd spin, she'd spin with me.
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin', ...)

Well, I looked at my watch, it was nine fifty-four,
I said, "Dance ballerina girl, go, go, go! "
We were rollin, reelin' and a-rockin' ...

Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten o-five,
Man, I didn't know whether I was dead or alive!
But I was rollin', reelin' and a-rockin'....

Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-six,
But I'm a keep on dancin' till I got my kicks!
We were reelin', reelin' and a- rockin'.....

Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-eight,
I gotta get my kicks before it gets too late!
We were reelin', reelin' and a- rockin' ....

Well, I looked at my watch, it was ten twenty-nine,
I had to hold her hand, she was still holdin' mine!
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'. ....

Well, I looked at my watch, and to my surprise,
I was dancin' with a woman who was twice my size!
We were reelin', reelin' and a-rockin'. .....

Well, I looked at my watch, and it was time to go,
The band leader said, "We ain't playin' no mo' ! "
We were reelin', reelin', and a-rockin'....
