''Et maintenant pour vous, le king du rock 'n' roll, Donkey Kong !''

La Chance aux chaussons<br>
Faut bien qu'on chante nos chansons<br>
Nous, les chanteurs pantouflards<ref group=n name=pantouflards>Pun on ''pantoufles'' ("slippers")</ref><br>
La Chance aux chaussons<br>
C'est la seule émission<br>
Où qu'on peut chanter comme des pieds<ref group=n name=pieds>Literally, "like feet"</ref><br>
Yeah

''Rock 'n' roll, Donkey !''

Un immense bravo pour les grolles en coco<br>
(Pour les souliers de nos grands machos)<br>
Jamais un seul flop pour les pantoufles en l'air<br>
(Pour les charentaises de la pop)<br>
Un public qui plane pour les antiques tatanes<br>
(Pour les baskets qui nous emboucanent)<br>
Un délire d'enfer pour les santiags de nos grands-pères<br>
Pour les espadrilles de crooner<br>
Oui, de crooner

La Chance aux chaussons<br>
Faut bien qu'on chante nos chansons<br>
Nous, les chanteurs pantouflards<ref group=n name=pantouflards /><br>
La Chance aux chaussons<br>
C'est la seule émission<br>
Où qu'on peut chanter comme des pieds<ref group=n name=pieds /><br>
Yeah

''Hey, Donkey !''<br>
''Le rock 'n' roll, c'est un métier !''

''And now for you, the king of rock 'n' roll, Donkey Kong!''

A Chance to Slippers<br>
We've got to sing our songs<br>
We, the homebody singers<br>
A Chance to Slippers<br>
It's the only show<br>
Where we can sing very badly<br>
Yeah

''Rock 'n' roll, Donkey!''

A huge bravo to the coconut shoes<br>
(To the shoes of our big machos)<br>
Never a single flop for slippers in the air<br>
(For the carpet slippers of pop)<br>
An audience mesmerized by the ancient shoes<br>
(By the stinky sneakers)<br>
A wild frenzy for our grandfathers' cowboy boots<br>
For crooners' {{wp|espadrille}}s<br>
Yes, crooners'

A Chance to Slippers<br>
We've got to sing our songs<br>
We, the homebody singers<br>
A Chance to Slippers<br>
It's the only show<br>
Where we can sing very badly<br>
Yeah

''Hey, Donkey!<br>
''Rock 'n' roll is a job!''
