Le Vaccinateur des Lilas1
I am the arm puncher
You visit for your AstraZeneca.
Or if not mandatory,
It would be barbaric,
But if you don't take the jab,
You fall under home arrest.
Yet we were told
We would never allow such things in our country.
I'm not suggesting they're pulling our leg
On this planet.
And don't you mention about side effects
Or I'm gonna give you another shot of Pfizer!
Punching holes, tiny holes
Again and again.
In your arms, I'm punching holes,
Tiny holes again and again.
One hole for a pass
And a drink outdoors.
Punching holes, tiny holes
Again and again.
Tiny holes, tiny holes,
Tiny holes, tiny holes, tiny holes...
I am the arm puncher
Come and see me if you wanna go to the movies again.
All day long, I give shots to
Weird junkies.
But if you bully me,
I'm gonna give you a shot of Moderna!
So that you can travel
And enjoy crowded beaches.
And if you stop by the hospital,
Quite an odd outrage,
But don't go imagining you're being blackmailed,
It's only the jab or your job.
Punching holes, tiny holes
Again and again.
Tiny holes, again and again.
One hole for a code,
There's apparently no other way.
So come on and get your tiny hole.
Punching holes, tiny holes
Again and again.
Tiny holes, tiny holes, tiny holes...
I am the arm puncher,
Which do your prefer, left or right?
I'm looking forward
To take a holiday,
But to fly off to the Carribean,
There's a helluva queue on Doctolib2.
But one day I guarantee
I will take off with the money.
When I've had enough and am sick
Of this scam,
I'll be able to vanish into thin air
And leave that job behind.
But for now, I'm punching holes
Again and again.
Tiny holes again and again.
Come on, don't be foolish
If you wanna party.
Come on, just one tiny hole.
One tiny, tiny hole
To leave your hole.
No more after this one.
I promise, you won't hear about holes anymore!
Well, there's this one hole, then a second
And maybe a third
Every six months.
Tiny holes, tiny holes, tiny holes...
