Mal ô Mains Pour se rendre utile et passer à l'action
Il suffit juste simplement de s'agiter
Faire les gens qui jouent en évitant les coups
Qu'on se donne à soi en gesticulant sans arrêt.
Les mains toujours au bout des bras


À force de remuer remuer
J'ai mal aux mains, à force de traîner les pieds
J'ai mal aux mains.
