Il Est Cinq Heures, Paris S'eveille
Sylvie Vartan
It's Five O'Clock, Paris Awakens
He's the dauphin of the Place Dauphine
And the Place Blanche looks bad
The trucks are full of milk
The sweepers are full of brooms
It's five o'clock
Paris awakens
Paris awakens
The transvestites are going to shave
The striptease dancers are dressed
The pillows are crushed
The lovers are tired
It's five o'clock
Paris awakens
Paris awakens
The coffee is in the cups
The coffee makers clean their places
And on Boulevard Montparnasse
The station is nothing but a carcass
It's five o'clock
Paris awakens
Paris awakens
The Eiffel Tower has cold feet
The Arc de Triomphe is revived
And the obelisk stands tall
Between night and day
It's five o'clock
Paris awakens
Paris awakens
The suburbanites are in the stations
At La Villette, they're slicing the bacon
Paris by night, returns to the buses
The bakers make bastards
It's five o'clock
Paris awakens
Paris awakens
The newspapers are printed
The workers are depressed
People get up, they are oppressed
It's the time when I go to bed
It's five o'clock
Paris is waking up
It's five o'clock
I'm not sleepy
