[Verse 1]
Zazou, whatcha gonna do?
There's a lot of people gunning for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
[Verse 2]
That Zazou, he don't care
The dark glasses, the long hair
Takes his time, sneers at men
Some ugly people want revenge
Zazou comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
In the night
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
That Zazou he sleeps all day
Then down to Select or Le Collisee
Sips his drinks, orders more
Says what he thinks and it's a crazy war
Zazou, whatcha gonna do?
A knock on the door in the night
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Zazou comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
[Chorus]
And when the soldiers strut
All he cares about is love
When the flags are out
All he cares about is love
Well there's a thin line between love and crime
And in this situation
A thin line between love and crime and

Zazou whatcha gonna do?
There's a lot of people gunning for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
[Verse 6]
Now everybody's under somebody's spell
Unless they've already gone to Hell
In the streets you can hear the people say
"That Zazou, he should be locked away!"
[Chorus]
And when the soldiers strut
All he cares about is love
When the flags are out
All he cares about is love
Well there's a thin line between love and crime
And in this situation
