Alain Souchon's Golden Parachute


So long/Goodbye/Farewell, megaphone
So long/Goodbye/Farewell, banner
So long/Goodbye/Farewell, union reps
For me it's all sunshine and calypso
Pineapple and coconut

For me it's the trade winds
The tropical winds
And me curly-haired on a boat
So long/Goodbye/Farewell, traders
So long/Goodbye/Farewell, jogging
And on-time briefings...
Breitling! (without breaking!)
Workers, laugh!
Goodbye gray suits
In China, the factory's
Relocated
The prices have collapsed
The banks have stopped laughing
The company's gone under!
It's time to make peace!
Let's take it easy
Dip the pill in goldleaf
I've got the parachute... the golden parachute

So long/Goodbye/Farewell, megaphone
So long/Goodbye/Farewell, banner
So long/Goodbye/Farewell, union reps
For me it's all sunshine and calypso
Pineapple and coconut

So long/Goodbye/Farewell, Château Pétrus
In a Lanvin suit
So long/Goodbye/Farewell the pretty Russian hookers
In the Falcon 20s*
Threw out/chucked out/tossed out the milling machines
The tools and machinery
The overworked workers
A pretty waste
I dug, I dug
I dug us in deep (in debt!)
Instead of scratching my head
One day our stocks fell
And I took a parachute
The company's gone under
It's time to make peace!
Let's take it easy
Dip the pill in goldleaf
I've got the parachute... golden parachute..

So long/Goodbye/Farewell, megaphone
So long/Goodbye/Farewell, banner
So long/Goodbye/Farewell, union reps
For me it's all sunshine and calypso
Pineapple and coconut

So long/Goodbye/Farewell, telephone
So long/Goodbye/Farewell, office
All the tall secretaries in their high heels
For me it's the trade winds
The tropical winds
And me curly-haired on a boat
The company's gone under
It's time to make peace!
Let's take it easy
Dip the pill in goldleaf
I've got the parachute... shhh...
