Pretty sixteen, belle héroïne des sixties
Tu te dandines, t'es divine
Quand tu danses dans les yeux d'Andy

Adieu bebop, plus au top c'est le pop art
Qui te sape à la trappe
Pop-corn et hula hoop

Rêve de gloire et de fortune
Chic en Chanel l'amour est toujours glamour
Aux expos tu poses et t'exposes à 400 ASA tu oses 
Toutes les poses

Fifty-sixty
Née en cinquante sexy soixante
Si excitante s'extasie
Candide elle croit tout ce qu'Andy
Qu'Andy dit d'elle, qu'elle est la plus belle
De toutes les modèles

Comme une icône sous le Nikon 
Tu tournes la tête au velvet 
Et Nico te voudrait loin de Lou Reed

À East Village y a pas d'âge
On est tous jeune, emmène-moi
Taxi jaune là d'où vient la légende

Rêve de gloire et de fortune
Chic en Chanel l'amour sera toujours glamour
Je te regarde en Polaroid, tu sais le temps n'a pas 
Pris une ride

Fifty-sixty
Née en cinquante sexy soixante
Si excitante s'extasie
Candide elle croit tout ce qu'on dit
Ce qu'on dit d'elle, qu'elle est la plus belle
De toutes les modèles

Le flower power est mort sur le dance floor
L'électro, le punk n'existent pas encore
Enlève le rollin' aux rockers, on a changé d'époque
Le rock roule en roller, la pop est en cloque

Le flower power est mort de sa belle mort
New wave et techno n'existent pas encore
Vas-y, joue ton dernier rôle, n'est plus là le dandy
Mais tu danses encore dans les yeux de Warhol

Fifty-sixty
Née en cinquante sexy soixante
Si excitante s'extasie
Candide elle croit tout ce qu'on dit
Ce qu'on dit d'elle, qu'elle est la plus belle, la plus belle

Fifty-sixty
Née en cinquante sexy soixante
Si excitante s'extasie
Candide elle croit tout ce qu'on dit
Ce qu'on dit d'elle, qu'elle est la plus belle
De tous les modèles
