Lyrics to Gilton by Boozoo

Anybody have these or know them, and feel like sharing?

Re: Lyrics to Gilton by Boozoo

Through the efforts of Marc, Bryan and his dad, and Trent on my lyrics list, I believe I've pulled together a passable rendition of the song:

Gilton - Boozoo

On a danse a Gilton,
On a eu un bon temps
On a danse a Gilton,
On a eu un bon temps

On a dansé hier au soir
C’est la musique à Boozoo
On a dansé hier au soir
C’est la musique à Boozoo

On s'a soulé hier au soir
A la place de Gilton
On s'a soulé hier au soir
A la place de Gilton

Re: Lyrics to Gilton by Boozoo

I think the first line is not quite right. My French is far from perfect, but I think it is more like this:

"On a été à Gilton's"

En Anglais, it means "We went to Gilton's"

Another minor quibble, with this line:

"C’est la musique à Boozoo"

Maybe it should be:

"C’est à la musique de Boozoo"

Again, I mention these things with some trepidation, because I am but a mere dilettante in this area. I don't want to be one of those internet geeks who presumes to correct someone else's grammar while introducing errors of their own!
