| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Il est arrive Oncle Ben’s avec un drapeau |
| Voici du riz il ne colle jamais |
| Il ne nous restaient plus que la peau sur les os |
| Alors distribution de Dakar a Lomé |
| C’etait du riz long grain américain |
| Des sacs partout mais pas un seul bouquin |
| Les hommes ont dit puisque c’est dans les colis, qu'on trouve a manger |
| Nous on reste au lit |
| Il nous a donné la recette du bonheur |
| Il nous a même donné l’heure |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Il est arrive habillé comme un cow-boy |
| Il etait beau comme un paquet de clope |
| Avec dans sa hotte la dernière gameboy et des jouets de toutes sortes |
| Des jouets qui valaient une fortune |
| Et une fusée pour aller sur la lune |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| On a joué, quand les piles se sont usées |
| Le cow boy a reprit sa gameboy |
| Il a dit aux moutons, fini de danser, c’est moi l’sheriff |
| Vous serez les bad boys |
| On a beau dire mais quand on est nus |
| Même au diable, on souhaite la bienvenue |
| Il a fait tous les endroits habités |
| Et c’est depuis; |
| qu’aux 4 coins de la planète |
| On est tous assis à faire la meme dictée |
| Tous à manger la même bouillie dans l’assiette |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Il a prit tout le zinc pour en faire le metro |
| Il a prit nos cheveux, s’est fait la coupe afro |
| Il a prit tout nos café, il a prit tout le cuivre |
| Il est parti sans nous laisser la marche à suivre |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |
| Tonton D’America |

| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| He came Uncle Ben's with a flag |
| Here is rice it never sticks |
| All we were left with was skin and bones |
| So distribution from Dakar to Lomé |
| It was American long grain rice |
| Bags everywhere but not a single book |
| The men said since it's in the parcels, we find something to eat |
| We stay in bed |
| He gave us the recipe for happiness |
| He even gave us the time |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| He came dressed like a cowboy |
| He was handsome as a pack of cigarettes |
| With in its hood the latest gameboy and toys of all kinds |
| Toys that were worth a fortune |
| And a rocket to the moon |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| We played, when the batteries ran out |
| The cowboy took back his gameboy |
| He said to the sheep, stop dancing, I'm the sheriff |
| You will be the bad boys |
| We can say but when we are naked |
| Even to the devil, we welcome |
| He made all the inhabited places |
| And it is since; |
| that in the 4 corners of the planet |
| We're all sitting around doing the same dictation |
| All to eat the same porridge on the plate |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| He took all the zinc to make it the subway |
| He took our hair, got his afro cut |
| He took all our coffee, he took all the copper |
| He left without leaving us the way forward |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
| Uncle of America |
