lyrics

you’re running sauwzé... you’re running fast!

Henry who’s that man?
There, dancing so wild
Feels like, this already happened to me

I’m attracted but blind
Reflected in my eyes
His two big metal teeth don’t let me see

It’s Sauzé Sawzé
He’s wonderful and French!
He’s twisting!
You’re twisting wild, Sawzé!

He’s got the little smile,
of the ones who know all kinds,
of things we’ll never never never never know!

He’s got that holy “Gourmette”
The silver chain on his stump
He calls it “gourmette Sacrée”
King of the twist sir lord Sawzé

I feel wrong but strong
Everything belongs
to that mechanical thing here we can see

The twist is the key
I’ll get on the floor
to know about Sawzé just a bit more

He is the father of my soul
Just say a word
and I’ll be forever yours
your servant my Lord

Henry can’t you see?
He is fake like a rake!
Just look how he spinning on his toes

a a haaaaa
a a haaaaa
a a haaaaa
a a haaaaa

I feel wild and light
anything but blind
I’m not anymore in touch with rules anymore

I want to shake like a jelly
To shift like I’m cheeky
To whistle like a little canary

He wants to kill the band
He shakes so fast Sawzé
Shake shake shake shake it!

I am open to get what you want now

I feel the holy “Gourmette”
Trapping my eyes in the silver chain
I mean the “gourmette Sacrée”
Brightening my right side as with Sawzé

I feel strong and delicious
Tasty as a pie
Now is the time for me to be the one

I’ll make you limp Sauzé
I’ll shake your head Sawzé I’ll be the
new Banana Jojo on the floor

I want to live in your
tight dark pocket
Let me be a hanky
for you Sawzé

Henry, leave that man
It wasn’t the right one
And… look how I’m spinning on my toes!

a a haaaaa
a a haaaaa
a a haaaaa
a a haaaaa
