[Verse 1] Tell me where he comes from At last I'll know where to go Mommy says that when you look hard You always find something She says he's never very far away He leaves very often for work Mommy says, “Working is good” Better than being in bad company Right? Pre-Chorus] Where's your dad? Tell me where's your dad? Without even having to talk to him He knows what's wrong Oh beloved dad Tell me where you're hiding I must've counted my fingers At least a thousand times [Chorus] Where are you? Dad, where are you? Where are you? Dad, where are you? Where are you? Dad, where are you? Where, where are you, where are you dad? Where are you? Dad, where are you? Where are you? Dad, where are you? Where are you? Dad, where are you? Where, where are you, where are you dad? [Verse 2] Even if we believe it or not There'll be a day we won't believe it anymore One day we'll all be dads And from one day to the other we'll disappear Will we be hated? Will we be admired? Just passing on genes or geniuses? Tell us who gives birth to these irresponsible people? Tell us who, look Everyone knows how to make babies But no one knows how to make dads Mr. Know-It-All must've inherited it Maybe you need to wing it or something? Tell us where they're hiding We must've bitten our fingers at least A thousand times Chorus] Where are you? Dad, where are you? Where are you? Dad, where are you? Where are you? Dad, where are you? Where, where are you, where are you dad? [Pre-Chorus] Where's your dad? Tell me where's your dad? Without even having to talk to him He knows what's wrong Oh beloved dad Tell me where you're hiding I must've counted my fingers At least a thousand times Where's your dad? Tell me where's your dad? Without even having to talk to him He knows what's wrong Oh beloved dad Tell me where you're hiding I must've counted my fingers At least a thousand times [Chorus] Where are you? Dad, where are you?

"papaoutai" is actually a pun, it sounds both like " papa où t'es" (where are you dad ) and "empapaouter" (to decieve)
