Lyrics

French

Yow!
J'ai des soucis, j'ai des ennuis
J'ai des tracas, j'ai des tourments
J'ai pas le moral, j'ai pas d'argent
J'ai pas de chance, j'ai pas d'amis
J'ai pas de pot, j'ai des impôts
J'ai mal au foin, j'ai mal aux dents
Mais je ne veux pas changer de peau
Parce que j'aime les emmerdements
Wow!
Je suis un homme responsable
Je cache pas ma tête dans l'sable
J'veux pas chanter comme grand-père
Dans la vie faut pas s'en faire
Car si je m'en fais aujourd'hui
C'est parce qu'hier il a ri
Et que demain si j'ai des p'tits
Je veux qu'ils soient heureux dans la vie
Plus j'ai de la bile plus ça me plaît
Je la bats comme du petit lait
Ce que j'aime le plus c'est le mauvais sang
Je m'en repais à tout bout de champ
Mais j'aime aussi les catastrophes
Qui me mettent la vie en apostrophe
Quand ça va bien je suis malheureux
Quand ça va mal je suis très heureux
Je suis un homme responsable
Je cache pas ma tête dans le sable
Je veux pas chanter comme grand-père
Dans la vie faut pas s'en faire
Et je veux chanter au contraire
Dans la vie il faut s'en faire
Pour être toujours solidaires
De ceux qui comme moi voient clair
Je suis un homme responsable
Je suis un homme responsable..

Yow!
I have worries, I have cares
I have troubles, I have torments
I don't have morals, I don't have money
I don't have luck, I don't have friends
I don't have luck, I have taxes
My stomach aches, my teeth hurt
But I wouldn't want to change skins
Because I love annoyances
Wow!
I am a responsible man
I don't hide my head in the sand
I don't want to sing like Grandfather
"In life, you don't have to worry"
Because if I worry today
It's because yesterday he laughed
And tomorrow if I have children
I want them to be happy in life
The more worries I have, the happier I am
I whip them up like cream
What I like most is being sick with worry
I feed on the worries every which way
But I also like catastrophes
Which put my life in relief
When things are going well, I am unhappy
When things are going poorly, I am very happy
I am a responsible man
I don't hide my head in the sand
I don't want to sing like Grandfather
"In life, you don't have to worry"
And I want to sing to the contrary
"In life you have to worry"
In order to always be solidary
With those who like me see clearly
I am a responsible man
I am a responsible man...

Trivia

  • Presumably due to it being a licensed song, "Le Responsable" is the only song from the third season not included on the soundtrack album to be available to stream/purchase from other albums. This allows for viewers to add it into playlists with other Animaniacs songs.
