[Intro] [Verse 1] When I was a lad of three-foot-three Certain questions occurred to me So I asked me father quite seriously To tell me the story ’bout the bird and bee He stammered and he stuttered pathetically And this is what he said to me [Chorus] He said "The woman piaba and the man piaba And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass The lily root gully root belly root uhmm And the famous grandy scratch scratch [Verse 2] It was clear as mud but it covered the ground And the confusion made the brain go ’round I went and ask a good friend of mine Known to the world as Albert Einstein He said "Son from the beginning of time and creativity There existed the force of relativity Pi r square and a minus ten is a routine only when The solar system in one light year Make the Hayden planetarium disappear So if Mt Everest doesn’t move I am positive that it will prove [Chorus] That the woman piaba and the man piaba And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass The lily root gully root belly root uhmm And the famous grandy scratch scratch [Verse 3] It was clear as mud but it covered the ground And the confusion made the brain go ’round I grabbed a boat and went abroad In Baden Baden asked Sigmund Freud He said "Son from your sad face remove the grouch Put the body down up on the couch I can see from your frustration a neurotic sublimation Hey! Love and hate is psychosomatic Your Rorsach shows that you’re a peri pathetic It all started with a broken sibling In the words of the famous Rudyard Kipling [Chorus] He said "The woman piaba and the man piaba And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass The lily root gully root belly root uhmm And the famous grandy scratch scratch [Verse 4] Well I traveled far and I traveled wide And I don’t even have me self a bride All the great men upon this earth Have confused me since my birth I’ve been over land and been over sea Trying to find answer ’bout the bird and bee But now that I am ninety three I don’t give a damn you see [Chorus] If the woman piaba and the man piaba And the Ton Ton call baka lemon grass The lily root gully root belly root uhmm And the famous grandy scratch scratch

La chanson évoque l'innocence de l'enfance et la quête de réponses face aux mystères de la vie et de l'amour. Un jeune garçon, curieux des questions sur l'amour et la reproduction, cherche des explications auprès de son père, mais se retrouve face à des réponses confuses et énigmatiques. Au fil de sa vie, il consulte des figures célèbres comme Einstein et Freud, mais ne trouve pas de réponses satisfaisantes. Dans ce voyage, il réalise que les grandes vérités de la vie sont souvent entourées de mystères et d'ambiguïtés. En fin de compte, il arrive à une sorte de sérénité, acceptant que certains secrets demeurent inaccessibles. C'est un parcours à la fois comique et touchant, où l'accent est mis sur le fait que les questions de l'amour et de la vie restent profondément complexes, même avec l'expérience des années.
