Camping Ste-Germaine [English translation]

It was a nice morning

for Gina Pinard and Jay-Pee Labrosse

in their mustang on the 20

hand in hand for their honeymoon

Jay-Pee was really happy

because he knows well that when he puts in the efforts

he does things in big

he reserved at Camping st. Germaine

right when they arrived

in the middle of the country fest

there was a tombola

and some Paul Daraîche playing at max volume

they parked their caravan

on a spot close to the cafeteria

it wasn't a bad spot

because the almost didn't hear the highway

it's in the smell of fries

that they got themselves a quickie

in the bushes of camping st. Germaine

where time stopped in the 70's

here where people go to tan

in sandals and tummy naked

while listening to Elvis

comfortably leaned on their bumpers

with Laurentide in their cooler!

the next day Jay-Pee

wanted to impress his honey

''look at this'' he said

''I'll win ya the big teddy bear''

at the shotgun game

he got scammed by the stand owner

gosh he found himself stupid

a hundred bucks for a stupid little teddy

(yeah those damn stand owners, probably guys from Beauce Carnaval)

but he forgot about it

because during the night he had the occasion to gain his title back

by winning the championship

of the mayor's annual petanque tournament

but he failed

in final against a guy with grey-ish hair

he didn't have false teeth

and who was wearing a wolf shirt

but to comfort him

his pretty Gina took him with her...

in the bushes of camping st. Germaine

where time stopped in the 70's

here where people go to tan

in sandals and tummy naked

while listening to Elvis

on an old cassette tape

with some Laurentide Tablet!

but after some time

Gina started feeling low

when she saw that her lover

didn't care for her for a penny

he was always stuck

in his sandbags and horseshoe games

she's had enough

she told herself ''it's gonna be your time my Jean-Pierre''

so since she isn't bad looking

she started flirting with the big drummer

of the st-Sipoplette orchestra

who played that night for camper's Halloween

Jay-Pee who was boozing

with the guys from the ball team

he didn't see what was happening

when his beautiful went into the little forest

(goodnight she is gone!)

and at the end of the wilderness

we heard bing-bang

(bing bang bang bing ......)

in the bushes of camping st. Germaine

where it,s been raining for at least a week

all alone in his caravan

Jay-Pee finds it less fun

since he doesn't have news

from who he called his beautiful

that we saw leave incognito

in a Station Wagon painted with a roller

the hair in the wind

like Marilyn Monroe

with the guy without teeth

who had grey-ish hair

and a wolf shirt....

(Gina, wherever you are, I will wait for you, because I love you. Yours forever, your jean-Pierre)
