I'm the cowboy from Aubervilliers
But my hat is a beret
My bike is a solex
I'd like to be called Tex
But my real name is René
I'm the cowboy of Aubervilliers
I'm the one who's got to be
When my back is turned
They say I'm crazy
They don't know how to dream
It's been a long, long, long time
I've been waiting - oh yes
To see Texas and Nevada
But the metro doesn't go all the way there
I'm the cowboy from Aubervilliers
I'm well known at Porte Champerret
But I work at Renault
It's a hell of a job - yes sir
I'm the cowboy from Aubervilliers
I'm faster than big Billy
I've got to get out of here
But my great enemy
It's Jo, Jo from Champigny
One day it will be me or him
But it's...
It's been a long, long, long time
I've been waiting
To see Texas and Nevada
But the metro doesn't go all the way there
On my ranch in Aubervilliers
If a girl could love me
We'd go away together
And we'd be happy
In the meadows of Aubervilliers
We cowboys of Aubervilliers
