Fais-moi mal Johnny [English translation]

He stood up when i came up to him

Once on his feet, was much shorter

I was thinking, "it's in the bag!"

This cutie here is for my bed

His height stood up at my shoulder

But he was built like a truck

Followed me to my shack

And I shouted, go on Wolfy

Hurt me hurt me Johnny

Fly me to the heavens, zoom!

Hurt me hurt me Johnny

I want some loving that goes "boom"!

He'd taken off all but his socks

Nice blue-striped yellow ones

He looked at me, bewildered

He wasn't getting it, poor sod

So he told me, looking sorrowful

I wouldn't even hurt a fly

He got me mad!, so i slapped him

And I squealed, savagely

Hurt me hurt me Johnny

I'm no fly, zoom!

I want some loving that goes "boom"!

Since he wasn't getting excited

I insulted him wildly

I called him all the names in the world

And some uncommon ones as well

That woke him up alright

He told me "come off it!"

You really think I'm a dead loss?

I'll show you some hardboiled Noir alright

You're hurting me, Johnny

I beg you, not with your feet.. zing!

You're hurting me, Johnny

I can't have loving that goes "bing"!

His little shirt back on

His li'l suit, his li'l shoes

Went down the stairs

Leaving me with a dislocated shoulder.

For thugs this type,

it ain't worth the expense

Now my bums are all bruised

Never again shall i request

Hurt me hurt me Johnny...
