Intro
Verse 1
When You Drive Down The Road
With Your Kids And A Heavy Load
You Know What You’ll Reach – It’s The Beach.
But You’ll Stop On The Way
And You Know You Will Stay
At The Old Garangeoire In The Bar.
When You Get Hot In The Sun,
The Skin Turns Red - That’s No Fun.
You Get Burned In The End On The Sand.
When It’s Late In The Night,
Hold Your Sweetheart, Hold Her Tight,
Cause Beneath An Old Tree You Feel Free.
Chorus
If You’re Near, If You’re Far –
The Sun Will Shine In Garangeoire,
And If You Feel A Pain,
Maybe There’ll Be A Little Rain.
Stand Up Early, Be A Man,
Pack Your Tent Or Caravan,
Drive As Fast As You Can Your Old Car
To Garangeoire.
Bridge 1
In The Night When You’re Awake
You’ll Hear Folks Coming From The Lake.
In The Morning The Kids With Toys
Start Much Too Early Making Noise.
Keep Cool, Get Out Of Bed,
Take A Walk, Get Your Baguette
And Relax On The Site
While The Sun Is Shining Bright.
Verse 2
When You’re Hungry, What To Do?
Get Some Coal For A Barbecue.
If The Meat Is Bloody Red – You’ll Get Fed.
Try Some Good Glass Of Wine,
Dream Of More Sun To Shine,
Break A Bread And Then, Please, Smell The Cheese.
Chorus
If You’re Near, If You’re Far –
The Sun Will Shine In Garangeoire,
And If You Feel A Pain,
Maybe There’ll Be A Little Rain.
Stand Up Early, Be A Man,
Pack Your Tent Or Caravan,
Drive As Fast As You Can Your Old Car
To Garangeoire.
Bridge 2
You Enjoy To See There Then
Ann, Eric Once More Again
And If You Don’t Know The Crew –
Sure Once Everyone Was New.
If Someone’s Dressed - Don’t Be A Fool:
Never Throw Him In The Pool.
Use No Bike When You Pass The Chain –
They Say It Again And Again And Again.
Verse 3
Take Your Glass, Drink A Beer,
Nothing To Worry Or To Fear,
Beneath Every Shining Star In Garangeoire.
Mr. Shooshoo At The Fire –
It’s The Best Man You Can Hire.
Pass The Bottle, Fill The Jar In Garangeoire.
Chorus
If You’re Near, If You’re Far –
The Sun Will Shine In Garangeoire,
And If You Feel A Pain,
Maybe There’ll Be A Little Rain.
Stand Up Early, Be A Man,
Pack Your Tent Or Caravan,
Drive As Fast As You Can Your Old Car
To Garangeoire.

Au Milieu De La Vendée
une region vous venez aimer :
Saint Julien, Près D’la Mothe Achard:

On N’est Pas Loin De La Garangeoire.
Verse 4
When You Sit In The Dark
Nightowls Calling In The Park,
There’s One Thing That Can’t Be Wrong: It’s A Song.
See The Castle And The Lake –
It’s The Best Place You Can Take,
And The Good Song Takes You Far
Wherever You Are To La Garangeoire.
Chorus
If You’re Near, If You’re Far –
The Sun Will Shine In Garangeoire,
And If You Feel A Pain,
Maybe There’ll Be A Little Rain.

Pack Your Tent Or Caravan,
Drive As Fast As You Can Your Old Car
To Garangeoire.
