We all have in our hearts a little forgotten girl
A pleated skirt, ponytail, at the school exit
We all have in our hearts a piece of worn-out scrap metal
An old dream scooter to perform stunts in the neighborhood
And the little girl sang (and the little girl sang)
And the little girl sang (and the little girl sang)
Something that still sticks to my heart and body
Everybody's doin' a brand-new dance, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
We all have in our hearts the ticket to Liverpool
Helicopter exit from the stage to escape the crowd
Excuse me Sir but I no longer hear Big Ben ringing
The beetles are buzzing, it's madness in London
And the Beatles sang (and the Beatles sang)
And the Beatles sang (and the Beatles sang)
Something that still sticks to my heart and body
It's been a hard day's night
And I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What's the use of going to cut the hair?
Will my life be better once I have my certificate?
Betty laughed at my shaved head
I told her if you don't like it, you can complain to the boss
And I got fired (and I got fired)
And the Beach Boys sang (and the Beach Boys sang)
Something that still sticks to my heart and body, it was
Round round get round, I get around
Get round round round, I get around
Get a round, get a round, get a round
We all have in our hearts vacations in Saint-Malo
And parents in swimsuits dancing at Luis Mariano's
At the Blue Waves campsite, I drag tons of cockroaches
If I had worked a little, I would have bought myself a guitar
And Saint-Malo slept (and Saint-Malo slept)
And the radios sang (and the radios sang)
Something that still sticks to my heart and body
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
At the café in my suburb, did you see Jimmy's gang?
It's pretty cool, it rolls around the baby
Poor Jimmy got caught at the record store, it's crazy
With a single from the Stones hidden under his clothes
And the thugs rolled (and the thugs rolled)
And the stones sang (and the stones sang)
Something that still sticks to my heart and body
I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The day I'm going to leave, I feel like it's going to hurt
My mother doesn't like my jacket and the fringes on my pants
Along the highways there are beautiful landscapes
I have my guitar on my back and no money for the trip
And Bob Dylan sang (and Bob Dylan sang)
And Bob Dylan sang (and Bob Dylan sang)
Something that still sticks to my heart and body
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you
Let me through I have my papers my visa
I'm already on the plane going to America
Even if I stay here and spend my life in Nogent
I'll have an old Chevrolet and eighteen girls inside
And the Bee Gees sang (and the Bee Gees sang)
And the Bee Gees sang (and the Bee Gees sang)
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own
In the spring of '66 I fell madly in love
It hurt me pretty bad, I had tears in my eyes
My little doll I take you to the land of my languor
She makes sweetness, sweetness, the music I have in my heart
All night we loved each other
When Donovan sang
Something that still sticks to my heart and body
They call me mellow yellow
They call me mellow yellow
Now I have a guitar and I travel organized
I get up too late every day
And I live on the Champs-Elysées
I left I don't know where but not where I wanted to go
In my head there are holes I don't remember the verses anymore
There are broken dreams
Tunes that go up in smoke
Things that still stick to my heart and body
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in LA (if I was in LA)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
