Le Barbu Sans Barbe

Have you seen a bearded man without a beard?
Have you seen a hairy man without hair?
Because this bearded man left me his beard
Yes, this hairy man left me his hairs
Camel hairs, I must specify
Because that bastard stole my lise
When we saw him ashamed, dirty
My wife and I took pity
We washed him and shaved him well
He looked good, he thanked us
Like three friends, we sat at the table
Endless meal, he was hungry, poor devil
He told us he messed up everything
It was touching to see him cry
We pitied him, comforted him
We put him to bed and tucked him in
The next day my suitcase was missing
My new suit, my best shirt
No wonder my things fit him
Because the rascal was my size
But next to me, my lise was missing
She didn't want to let go of the suitcase
What an outrage, it's shocking
The poor girl is surely calling me
He left with my suitcase in hand
But what's worse, my lise in the other hand
Have you seen my suitcase in hand?
Have you seen my lise in the other hand?
Have you seen a bearded man without a beard?
Have you seen a hairy man without hair?
Because this bearded man left me his beard
Yes, this hairy man left me his hairs!
