Jeux sans frontiers. [3x]

 

Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue.

They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu.

Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games,

Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names.

 

Whistling tunes we hide in the dunes by the seaside.

Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle.

 

CHORUS:

 

Jeux sans frontiers. [repeat and out]
