L'argent ne fait pas le bonheur

"Money doesn't buy happiness"
The one who said that is a real liar
"Money doesn't buy happiness"
Go tell that to your tax collector

"Money doesn't buy happiness"
The one who said that is a real joker
"Money doesn't buy happiness"
When they tell us that
We would cause a disaster!

Go choose dresses and shoes
In a store
And the little fur cape
That would suit you well
Take all that cheerfully
Under your arm
And leave without paying
They'll bring you oranges in jail

"Money doesn't buy happiness"
The one who said that is a real liar
"Money doesn't buy happiness"
When they tell us that
We say "And your sister!"

Go spend eight days in a palace
For billionaires
In the most beautiful room with a terrace
Overlooking the sea
If at the time of paying the bill
You only have twenty francs,
You'll go wash dishes for ten years

"Money doesn't buy happiness"
The one who said that is a real liar
"Money doesn't buy happiness"
When they tell us that
We shed our tears
