The question came up in rec.music.misc a while back.  This is
something that I had mailed to me.

 This is it! The lyrics to Plastic Bertrand's  "Ca plane pour moi".

 Well almost, since i could not find a printed copy of the official
 lyrics, this is my interpretation. ( it took me about one half hour
 to jot them down, and i had to play the record at REDUCED speed)

 So here goes!!! ( french accents are indicated by / for acute accent
                                               and \ for grave accent
                   when needed.
                   i.e.: colle (for glue) and coll/e for (glued)
             pronounce : kull                 kullay )

 --Ca plane pour  moi--
 ======================

 Wam Bam, mon slash?? splash??    (?? educated guess)
 git sur mon lit, 
 \a bouffer, sa langue, en buvant, prends mon whisky,
 Quant \a moi, peu dormi, vid/e, brim/e. 
 J'ai du dormir dans la gouti\ere,
 o\u j'ai eu un flash.
 ouh! ouh! ouh! ouh!
 en quatre couleurs.

 Allez hop!, un matin,
 une loulou, t'es venue chez moi.
 Poup/ee de c/elophane, cheveux chinois,
 un sparandrap, une gueule de bois,
 A bue ma bi\ere, dans un grand verre, en caoutchouc.
 ouh! ouuh! ouuh! ouh!
 Comme un indien dans son igloo.

 + Ca plane pour moi,                      +
 + Ca plane pour moi,                      +
 + Ca plane pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi,  +    (REFRAIN)
 + Ca plane pour moi,                      +
 + Ouh! ouuh! ouuh! ouh!                   +
 + Ca plane pour moi.                      +

 Allez Hop!, la nana,
 Quel PANARD??, Quelle vibration,
 de s'enrouler, su'l paillasson,
 lim/e, ruin/e, vid/e, combl/e,
 you are the king of the divan ( with a bad belgian accent :-)
 qu'elle me dit en passant,
 ouh! ouuh! ouuh! ouh!
 I am the king of the divan.

     (REFRAIN)

 Allez Hop!, t'occupe, t'inqui\ete,
 touche pas ma plan\ete,
 it's not today, que le ciel me tombera sur la t^ete
 et que la colle me manquera,
 ouh! ouuh! ouuh! ouh!
 Ca plane pour moi.
 
 Allez Hop!, ma nana, 
 s'est tir/ee, s'est bar/ee,
 enfin c'est marre \a tout casser,
 l'evier, le BAR,
 me laissant seul comme un conard,
 ouh! ouuh! ouuh! ouh!
 le pied dans l'plat.

Basicly , it's a boy is alone,
                 boy meets girl,
                     boy gets girl,
                         girl dumps boy,
                              girl leaves with boy's stuff  story/song.

 With a touch of "argot" (french for "slang").

have fun.
