Gainsbourg and his gainsborough
Took the ferry-boat
From their beds, through the porthole
They watch the shore
They love eachother and the crossing
Will last a whole year
They'll overcome the evil spells
Till 1970

69 erotic year
69 erotic year

Gainsbourg and his gainsborough
Are going to reach Paris
They had left behind them
Thames and Chelsea
They love eachother and the crossing
Will last a whole year
May the gods bless them
Till 1970

69 erotic year
69 erotic year

They love eachother and the crossing
Will last a whole year
He'll excuse their whims
Till 1970
