Dans mon fauteuil, je regardais
In my armchair, I was watching
Le film à la télé
The film on TV
Un type nommé Jojo le Bouffi
A guy named Jojo the Puffy
Poursuivait la pauvre Suzy
Was chasing poor Suzy
Il la coinca près de la scierie
He cornered her near the sawmill
Et très méchamment lui dit
And very nastily told her
Si tu m'donnes pas ton ranch, en moins d'deux
If you don't give me your ranch, in a flash
Je vais t'couper en deux
I'm going to cut you in two
Puis il l'empoigna
Then he grabbed her
- Et alors ?
- And then?
Ben, il la ficela
Well, he tied her up
- Et alors ?
- And then?
Il la mit sous la scie
He put her under the saw
- Et alors ? Et alors ?
- And then? And then?
Eh, eh, Zorro est arrivé
Hey, hey, Zorro arrived
Sans s'presser
Without rushing
Le grand Zorro, le beau Zorro
The great Zorro, the handsome Zorro
Avec son ch'val et son grand chapeau
With his horse and his big hat
Mais bientôt j'ai pris la deuxième chaine
But soon I switched to the second channel
Car un vieux schnock parlait
Because an old geezer was talking
Charmante soirée, sur la deuxième chaine
Charming evening, on the second channel
Ils passaient le meme navet
They were showing the same dud
Près d'une cabane Jo le Bouffi
Near a cabin Jo the Puffy
Coincait la pauvre Suzy
Was cornering poor Suzy
Et il lui disait
And he was telling her
Donne-moi ton ranch, eh, poupée !
Give me your ranch, hey, doll!
Ou j'te transforme en purée
Or I'll mash you up
Puis il l'empoigna
Then he grabbed her
- Et alors ?
- And then?
Ben, il la ficela
Well, he tied her up
- Et alors ?
- And then?
Il mit le feu à la dynamite
He set fire to the dynamite
- Et alors ? Et alors ?
- And then? And then?
Mais moi j'en avais tellement marre
But I was so fed up
J'ai repris la première chaine
I switched back to the first channel
Et devant mes yeux, mes yeux hagards
And before my eyes, my wild eyes
Se déroulait la meme scène
The same scene was unfolding
Et Jojo, Jojo le Bouffi
And Jojo, Jojo the Puffy
Dans un sac fourrait Suzy
Was stuffing Suzy into a sack
Disant
Saying
Donne-moi ton ranch, eh, boudin !
Give me your ranch, hey, b*tch!
Ou j'vais t'balancer sous l'train
Or I'm going to throw you under the train
Puis il l'empoigna
Then he grabbed her
- Et alors ?
- And then?
Ben il la ficela
Well, he tied her up
- Et alors ?
- And then?
Sur les rails il la fit rouler
He made her roll on the tracks
- Et alors ?
- And then?
Ben le train arrivait, les copains !
Well, the train was arriving, friends!
- Et alors ? Et alors ?
- And then? And then?
Eh, eh, Zorro est arrivé
Hey, hey, Zorro arrived
Sans s'presser
Without rushing
Le grand Zorro, le beau Zorro
The great Zorro, the handsome Zorro
Avec son ch'val et son grand chapeau
With his horse and his big hat
Avec son flingue et son grand lasso
With his gun and his big lasso
Avec ses bottes et son vieux banjo
With his boots and his old banjo
Ah ! Ah ! Sacré Zorro, va !
Ah! Ah! What a Zorro, really!
Ah ah ah ah !
Ah ah ah ah!

Schnock is a colloquial and somewhat derogatory term in French, meaning an "old fogey" or "old geezer". It's not a word you hear every day, especially in songs, making it quite unique and memorable.
In the context of the song, the narrator switches channels because an "old schnock" was talking, implying boredom or disdain for the speaker on the other channel. It adds a touch of humor and personality to the lyrics, making it an engaging word for learners.
