Rock et Belles Oreilles, «I want to pogne», 1989
I want to pogne
I want to pogne
Is it the reason that I speak in English ?
I want to pogne
I want to pogne
I want to pogne
I do not want to speak my tongue
I just want to pogne
I know I have a big accent eh
I know I’m not assez différent
But I want to pogne (I want to pogne)
And I have composed that song
I know the mathématiques
America is a big market
If there is more public
There is more money in my pocket-te
I want to pogne
I want to pogne
I am the Judas of the French Canada
I want-te to pogne
Frog in the USA
Frog in the USA
I’m gonna be the number one
254-6011
Icitte is a small marché
Icitte there is no débouché
I want to become very gros
And lâcher ma run de journaux
’Cause I prefer the Billy Idol
Than Jean Nichol
(Whoa, Lady Mary)
Solo’s
Pogne, pogne, po-pogne, pogne
Pogne, pogne, po-pogne, pogne
Pogne, pogne, po-pogne, pogne
Pogne, pogne, po-pogne, pogne
Frog in the USA
Frog in the USA
If they discover my origine
It’s all finish maudine
Don’t want to go in France
Don’t want to talk like the Français
’Cause I prefer the hamburger
Than the café au lait
I want, I want, I want to pogne
I want, I want, I want to pogne (encore)
I want, I want, I want to pogne
I want, I want, I want to pogne (yé)
I want to pogne (I want, I want)
I want to pogne (I want)
Is it the reason that I speak in English ? (I want, I want)
I want to pogne (I want)
I want to pogne (I want, I want, I want to pogne)
I want to pogne (I want)
I do not want to speak my tongue (I want, I want)
I just want to pogne (I want, I want)
I want to pogne (I want, I want)
I just want to pogne (I want, I want)
I want to pogne (I want to pogne)
