La Recette de L'amour Fou
Serge Gainsbourg
The Recipe for Crazy Love
In a boudoir introduce a very tender heart
On the sofa let it sit and relax
Pour a tear of Porto
And then sit at the piano
Play Chopin
With disdain
Strum your chords
And if he falls asleep
Then throw him out
The next evening, bring back this very tender heart
Let it simmer for three-quarters of an hour waiting for you
And if he hasn't left yet
Be sure he's done
Without betraying you
Let it simmer
Make him wait some more
And if he falls asleep
Then throw him out
The next day, it's up to you to be tender
Dim all the lights and without waiting
Play the farce of great love
Say,
