Les Poissons Lyrics
Nouvelle cuisine
Les Champs-Élysées, Maurice Chevalier
Les poissons, les poissons
How I love les poissons!
Love to chop
And to serve little fish.
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out their bones.
Ah mais oui, ça c’est toujours délice.
Les poissons, les poissons
Hee-hee-hee, hon-hon-hon
With a cleaver I hack them in two.
I pull out what’s inside
And I serve it up fried.
God, I love little fishes, don’t you?
Here’s something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique.
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet.
Then you slash through the skin.
Give the belly a slice.
Then you rub some salt in
‘Cause that makes it taste nice.
Zut alors! I have missed one!
Sacrebleu! What is this?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent crab?
Quel dommage, what a loss!
Here we go in the sauce.
Now some flour-I think just a dab.
Now I stuff you with bread.
It don’t hurt, ’cause you’re dead
And you’re certainly lucky you are.
‘Cause it’s gonna be hot
In my big silver pot
Tootle-loo, mon poisson, au revoir!
