Jeanneton prend sa faucille (Figarette)
Aristide Bruant
Jeanneton Takes Her Sickle (Figarette)
Jeanneton takes her sickle
Lalirette, lalirette
Jeanneton takes her sickle
To go cut the reeds
On her way she meets
Four young and handsome guys
The first one, a bit shy
Gave her a kiss on the chin
The second, a little less wise
Laid her down on the grass
The third one, even less wise
Lifted up her white petticoat
What the fourth one did
Isn't mentioned in the song
If you knew, ma'am
You'd be out cutting the reeds
The moral of this story
Is that out of 4, there are 3 fools
The moral of this moral
Is that men are pigs
The moral of this moral
Is that women love pigs
