I looked for this for a couple of years before breaking down and learning French. Well, that is to say, before breaking down and asking a French friend of mine to transcribe it for me.

I was gratified to find the lyrics weren't stupid because I really like the song.

Youpi (original lyrics)

Youpi
Comme c’est bon,
Quand petit à petit
Tu sors de ma tête.

Youpi, Yeah…

Comme c’est gai,
Quand même à petit pas
Je m’éloigne de toi.

Youpi, Yeah…

Comme c’est joyeux,
On ne se verra plus
Jamais

Youpi, Yeah…

Comme c’est joli,
Tes yeux qui pleurent
De jalousie.

Youpi, Yeah…

Youpi (English translation)

Yippee
How good it is,
When little by little
You get out of my head

Yippee, Yeah…
How joyful
When, even in tiny steps
I get away from you

Yippee, yeah…

How joyful it is
We won’t see each other
Ever again

Yippee, yeah…

How pretty it is
Your eyes crying
From jealousy

Yippee, yeah…
