Fernande

A habit of an old bachelor
I have gotten used
to embellishing my solitude
with the accents of this song

When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command

It's this manly refrain
This virile anthem
That resounds in the guardhouse
Of the valiant sentinel

When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command

To deceive his blues
To see life less dull
While watching over his lantern
The lighthouse keeper sings like this

When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command

After the evening prayer
As he is a little sad
The seminarian sings like this
Kneeling on his prie-dieu

When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command

At the Étoile where I had come
To revive the flame
I heard moved to tears
The voice of the unknown soldier

When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command

And I will put a final point
To this beneficial song
By suggesting to the solitary one
To make it a national anthem

When I think of Fernande
I get excited, I get excited
When I think of Félicie
I get excited too
When I think of Léonore
My God, I get excited again
But when I think of Lulu
There, I don't get excited anymore
Erection, daddy
It's not something you can command
