In the first verse, the narrator is 10 years old, and asks his father about Father Christmas. The boys at his school do not believe in him, but the narrator tells them he got lots of gifts thanks to him. The other boys make fun of the narrator by just thinking his father gave him them.
In the second verse, the narrator is 15 years old, and is now in high school. He tells his mother that high school girls consider him as the new pop singer. And so, he sings them John Lennon songs and "Quand la musique est bonne" (Jean-Jacques Goldman's song), because of the emotion in their voice.
In the third verse, the narrator is 20 years old and tells his parents that he is not signed to a label yet, because of his voice that sounds too much like any other singer. He does not feel ashamed and wants to pursue his dream.
The rest of the song is about spinning the wheel, like in the "Wheel of Fortune", to determine what comes next. One can be happy, one can be sad. One can be rich, one can be poor. And so on until the narrator, after so many failed attempts, gets lucky.
