Il y a les playboys de profession Habillés par Cardin et chaussés par Carvil Qui roulent en Ferrari à la plage comme en ville Qui vont chez Cartier comme ils vont chez Fauchon Croyez-vous que je sois jaloux ? Pas du tout, pas du tout ! Moi j'ai un piège à fille, un piège tabou Un joujou extra qui fait crac boum hu Les filles en tombent à mes genoux J'ai pas peur des petits minets Qui mangent leur ronron au drugstore Ils travaillent tout comme les castors Ni avec leurs mains, ni avec leurs pieds Croyez-vous que je sois jaloux ? Pas du tout, pas du tout ! Moi j'ai un piège à fille, un piège tabou Un joujou extra qui fait crac boum hu Les filles en tombent à mes g'noux Je ne crains pas les costauds, les Superman Les bébés aux carrures d'athlètes Aux yeux d'acier, aux sourires coquets En Harley Davidson ils se promènent Croyez-vous que je sois jaloux ? Pas du tout, pas du tout ! Moi j'ai un piège à fille, un piège tabou Un joujou extra qui fait crac boum hu Les filles en tombent à mes g'noux Il y a les drogués, les fous du Zen Ceux qui lisent et ceux qui savent parler Aux mannequins de chez Catherine Harle Ceux qui se marient à la Madeleine Croyez-vous que je sois jaloux ? Pas du tout, pas du tout ! Moi j'ai un piège à fille, un piège tabou Un joujou extra qui fait crac boum hu Les filles en tombent à mes g'noux
