Jazzy Retro Satanas [English translation]

A jazz singer with a garage-rock voice

A doll switched on by swing

A jazzwoman between two eras

Who dreams of re-entering the ring

A first prize vibrato

The former cover-star of magazines

Who dresses up as the queen of disco

As long as jazz leaves me alone

Back off, jazz

Banana split Joséphine

Back off, jazz

It smells like your kitchen is burning

Back off, jazz

Banana split Joséphine

Back off, jazz

There's nobody left in this dance club

Bebop closed up shop

The swing factory is shut down

Bye bye nostalgic piano bars

Too bad for the Broadway fanatics

I listen to the singers in Hello Sister

You seem disappointed

Too late to shake your maracas

I wish jazz would give up on me

Back off, jazz

Banana split Joséphine

Back off, jazz

Don't come and ruin my mood

Back off, jazz

Banana split Joséphine

Back off, jazz

I can't stop the machine

Back off, jazz...
