Toujours après le lycée,
nous allons au café
le sujet d'aujourd'hui est Monsieur Alway
Il est Englishman et un pop-up man
Il bois seulment de café
Don't you like a strawberry ice cream, monsieur?
Do do do di di do do da

* Mike Alway is the founder of él records (a British label that inspired Shibuya artists like The Pizzicato Five, Cornelius and Kahimie Karie).
** it sounds more like she's offering him ice cream and coke than asking if he likes it, but I left this line as-is.
*** this is a literal translation, but she was probably referring to herself or how the event was.
I'm not actually sure it''s pop-up man (I heard ... parfait, haha) but that's what I got when I looked for the lyrics. A lot of them were wrong though (in terms of French words/spelling) so I don't know if they were official.
