[Couplet 1]
Y tombe des bombes
Ça boume, surboum, sublime
Des plombe qu'ça tombe
Un monde immonde s'abîme

[Refrain : Claire Torry, Jean Hawker & Kay Garner]
Rock around the bunker
Rock around, rock around
Rock around the bunker
Rock around, rock around
Rock around the bunker
Rock around, rock around
Rock around the bunker
Rock around, rock around

[Couplet 2]
C'est l'hécatombe
Ça retombe en trombe, ça fume
Tout flambe, les tombes
Les temples, exemple, sublime

[Refrain : Claire Torry, Jean Hawker & Kay Garner]
Rock around the bunker
Rock around, rock around
Rock around the bunker
Rock around, rock around
Rock around the bunker
Rock around, rock around
Rock around the bunker
Rock around, rock around
