Pour Qu'elle Soit Jolie Ma Chanson
Édith Piaf
To Make My Song Pretty
There are songs that really take off
It's because the music's super popular
When he holds me in his arms
Something like that
Yeah, there you go! That's not bad
There are songs that really take off
It's because the lyrics are out of the ordinary
And it screams that, ma'am
Hey! I heard that somewhere
There are songs that really take off
It's because the performer is extraordinary
It's almost always like that
But mine doesn't have all that
Let me explain why
To make my song pretty
You need at least two
There's of course a boy
And a girl to make him happy
If you could lend me your voice
To sing along with me
This love song
But it’s nothing special
It’s totally normal
That it rhymes with forever
I feel bad for the song
But it’s missing a certain something
And you can tell the boy
That this song isn’t for me!
I see what you need
A port and a sailor
Fights in a bar
Just some grim stuff
A poor guy getting hanged
People talking loud
A distinguished gentleman
An accordion player
I even heard it said
It’s too fanciful!
That you’d sing about a clown
Well! Kudos for the clown!
No! No, wait a minute!
You’re yelling at me!
Oh! Sorry!
I got a little carried away
So, in your opinion, would this song be for me?
Of course!
Well! Sing it to me again!
To make my song pretty
You need at least two
There's of course a boy
And a girl to make him happy
If you could lend me your voice
To sing along with me
This love song
But it’s nothing special
All things considered, it’s not bad
That it rhymes with forever
And a girl to make him happy
There you go! I’ll lend you my voice
To sing with you
This love song
But it’s nothing special
All things considered, it’s not bad
That it rhymes with forever
How pretty my song is
Because I sing it despite myself
And you can tell the boy
That this song is just right for me!
