La java de Broadway
Michel Sardou
The Broadway Java
When we party on Saturday at Broadway
It swings like in Meudon
We go all out, we go for it
No need for Beaujolais
When we have Bourbon
It might not be the real deal
The Broadway Java
But it's the one that pleases
When we're really drunk, we stagger around
On 42nd Street
We laugh and dance like in Saint-Paul De Vence
Until 50th Street
It might not be the real deal
The Broadway Java
But it's the one that pleases
When we party on Saturday at Broadway
There are dogs in the bars
When the girls arrive, when we're all together
We hand out the Oscars
They might not be the real deal
The girls from Broadway
But that's what pleases
When we party on Saturday at Broadway
We sleep on the sidewalks
When they kick us out of there, it's with brooms
With big watering cans
And at noon we no longer know
If we're in Clichy or in California
When we party on Saturday at Broadway
It swings like in Meudon
We go all out, we go for it
No need for Beaujolais
When we have Bourbon
It might not be the real deal
The Broadway Java
But it's the one that pleases
Tinged with blues and jazz and rock
It's still a java
When we're ten or twelve, when the glasses clink
We don't see the problems anymore
It might not be the real deal
The Broadway Java
But it's the one that pleases
When we party on Saturday at Broadway
It swings like in Meudon
We go all out, we go for it
No need for Beaujolais
When we have Bourbon
It might not be the real deal
The Broadway Java
But it's the one that pleases
