Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
[Verse 2]
Hans plays with Lottie, Lottie plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willy, Willy is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sasha plays with Brit
Adolf builds a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
[Verse 3]
Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes, we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
[Verse 4]
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
Games without frontiers, war without tears
[Verse 5]
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
[Verse 6]
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in treetops, shouting out rude names
[Verse 7]
Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes, we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
[Verse 8]
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
If looks could kill they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
Games without frontiers, war without tears
[Verse 9]
