Lyrics of Mr Rainbow - Slapp Happy

Mr Rainbow (original)

Casquette de moire,
Quéquette d’ivoire,
Toilette très noire,
Paul guette l’armoire,
Projette languette sur poire,
S’apprête baguette et foire.
His silhouette rancid with diamonds
Splinters like a stone in the palm of your hand,
He’s rigged with a nebula’s sine qua non a festival
of bones on a table of sand.
Casquette de moire,
Quéquette d’ivoire,
Toilette très noire,
Paul guette l’armoire,
Projette languette sur poire,
S’apprête baguette et foire.
He’s jerking like an angel on the ladder of crime,
Diluting syrup ditties at the peak of their prime,
He’s spun like a ghost in the radio cool?
He’s everybody’s child but nobody’s fool,
He’s cool like the breast of a radio ghost,
His name is Mr. Rainbow and tonight he’s your host.
Projette languette sur poire,
S’apprête baguette et foire.

(translation)

moire cap,
ivory pecker,
Very black toilet,
Paul watches the cupboard,
Projects strip on pear,
Get ready baguette and fair.
His silhouette rancid with diamonds
Splinters like a stone in the palm of your hand,
He's rigged with a nebula's sine qua non a festival
of bones on a table of sand.
