Les Bourgeois

The heart warm and cozy
Eyes in the beer
At the big Adrienne de Montalant's
With friend Jojo
And with friend Pierre
We were going to drink our twenties
Jojo thought he was Voltaire
And Pierre thought he was Casanova
And me, who was the proudest
Me, I thought I was me
And when around midnight the notaries passed by
Coming out of the Three Pheasants Hotel
We showed them our butts and our good manners
While singing

The bourgeois are like pigs
The older they get, the dumber they get
The bourgeois are like pigs
The older they get, the more (stupid)

The heart warm and cozy
Eyes in the beer
At the big Adrienne de Montalant's
With friend Jojo
And with friend Pierre
We were burning our twenties
Voltaire danced like a vicar
And Casanova didn't dare
And me, who remained the proudest
I was almost as drunk as me
And when around midnight the notaries passed by
Coming out of the Three Pheasants Hotel
We showed them our butts and our good manners
While singing

The bourgeois are like pigs
The older they get, the dumber they get
The bourgeois are like pigs
The older they get, the more (stupid)

The heart at rest
Eyes firmly on the ground
At the bar of the Three Pheasants Hotel
With Master Jojo
And with Master Pierre
Among notaries we pass the time
Jojo talks about Voltaire
And Pierre about Casanova
And me, who has remained the proudest
Me, I still talk about myself
And it's when leaving around midnight, Mr. Commissioner
That every evening from Montalant's
