Zeep A Dee Yeh (Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah)
Johnny Hallyday · Hallelujah [1965]
Zeep a di dou da, zeep a dee yeh !
J'ai le cœur qui bat, comment l'oublier ?
Et j'entends sa voix qui me chantait
Zeep a di dou da da, zeep a dee yeh !
Oh ! Mets tes blue-jeans, on va marcher
Ces pas en foulée, ce petit sentier !
Avec elle, je marchais tout en fredonnant...
Et j'entends sa voix qui me chantait
Zeep a di dou da da, zeep a dee yeh !
Oh ! Mets tes blue-jeans, on va marcher
Ces pas en foulée, ce petit sentier !
Avec elle, je marchais tout en fredonnant...
Zeep a di dou da, zeep a dee yeh !
Zeep a di dou da da, zeep a dee yeh !
Zeep a dee yeh ! Zeep a dee yeh ! Zeep a di dou da...
