L'Équipe à Jojo

Lulu was selling her paintings
Jacquot was diving into a bar
Dédé was tasting the wines
I was strong at the market
And Gégé was washing the windows
Pierrot wasn’t doing anything

We’d picked each other’s pockets
To buy an old clunker
Flowered on the hood
Dreaming of Provence
And it died in Fontainebleau

We’d light a cigarette and everything would ignite
And it was a party, on the fourteenth of July
There was never a friend too many
In Jojo's crew
There were fewer nights without a guitar
Than days without bread
We shared everything and had nothing
Man, we were crazy
Man, we didn’t give a damn
Man, we were doing great

We rented for peanuts
The four walls of an old attic
Ready to collapse
But for a whole fortune
We wouldn’t have moved

We’d light a cigarette and everything would ignite
And it was a party, on the fourteenth of July
There was never a friend too many
In Jojo's crew
There were fewer nights without a guitar
Than days without bread
We shared everything and had nothing
Man, we were crazy
Man, we didn’t give a damn
Man, we were doing great

Lucienne has set sail
And Jacques bought a bar
Where André drinks water
I’m no longer strong at the market
Roger’s checking the taxes
Pierre’s looking for a job

I’ve changed my guitar
But I’ve kept like a gift
This tune that keeps me warm
From the depths of memory
The one from Jojo's crew

We’d light a cigarette and everything would ignite
And it was a party, on the fourteenth of July
There was never a friend too many
In Jojo's crew
There were fewer nights without a guitar
Than days without bread
We shared everything and had nothing
Man, we were crazy
Man, we didn’t give a damn
Man, we were doing great
