- Nous sommes de l`ordre de Saint Babouyn
- L'ordre ne dit mye de lever matin
- Dormir jusqu`a prime
- Et boire bon vin
- Et din din din . . .
- Et dire matines sur un pot de vin
- A nostre diner le beau chapon gras
- La soupe au jounet comme au mardi gras
- La pièce de boeuf et le gras mouton
- Et don don don . . . .
- Et voila la vie que nous demandons

- and tra la la
- and say mattins over a jug of wine
- for dinner a nice fat capon
- soup laced with egg yolk as on Shrove Tuesday
- a chunk of beef and fat mutton
- and bom bom bom
- and that's the life we ask for
