🤍 Nanette et Papa 🤍

Verse 1

Ze world, she is big — and I am — comment dire — très small

But somewhere inside, I 'ear papa's voice — whenever I fall

Ze baret, she sit on my 'ead — just so — comme papa always say

"Stand tall, mon petit lapin — and ze world, she will make ze way"

Ze people, zey smile — ze cities, zey open — like flowers, like zis

I carry something zey cannot name — comment dire — what is zis?

(c'est l'amour, c'est l'amour)

(de papa, de papa)

Pre-Chorus

I do not always know ze right train — ze right city — ze right door

But I always know ze right zing to do — papa showed me, long before!

Chorus

Papa's petit lapin — c'est moi — sans pourquoi, you see!

He give me ze roots — and ze wings — and he trust me to be me!

C'est pas possible — how much love, and still it grow, non?

Papa's petit lapin — pour toujours — je t'aime, mon papa!

Verse 2

Ze rouge, she disappear — ze flights, zey go ze wrong way, zis!

Ze customs man, he ask for ze gift — attend — what kind of question is zis?

But I smile — I bow — I wave — I never lose my grace

Because papa, he say — "Ze world, she will treat you — as you treat 'er face"

Ze sari, ze tuba, ze Owambe, ze beignet — all different, all ze same

Everywhere ze people, zey are good — just like papa always said!

(c'est l'amour, c'est l'amour)

(de papa, de papa)

Pre-Chorus

I do not always understand ze joke — ze irony — ze sign

But I always understand ze heart — and zat, she is — comment dire — ze most divine!

Chorus

Papa's petit lapin — c'est moi — sans pourquoi, you see!

He give me ze roots — and ze wings — and he trust me to be me!

C'est pas possible — how much love, and still it grow, non?

Papa's petit lapin — pour toujours — je t'aime, mon papa!

Bridge

Ze hardest zing for papa — comment dire — is not ze worry, non

Ze hardest zing for papa — is ze morning I was gone

But he knew — he always knew — ze roots, zey 'old ze tree

"Fly, mon petit lapin — ze world, she need someone like you to see"

(mon petit lapin)

(je t'aimerai toujours)

(mon petit lapin)

(où que tu sois)

Chorus

Papa's petit lapin — c'est moi — sans pourquoi, you see!

He give me ze roots — and ze wings — and he trust me to be me!

C'est pas possible — how much love, and still it grow, non?

Papa's petit lapin — pour toujours — je t'aime, mon papa!

Ze phone, she 'ave ten percent — "Papa — I just want to say, you see—"

"Ze world, she is beautiful — just like you always told to me"
