Les poissons, les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop and to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out their bones
Ah mais oui, ça c'est toujours delice
Les poissons, les poissons
Hee hee hee, haw haw haw
With a cleaver I hack them [A]in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes, don't you?
Here's something for [Dm7]tempting the palette
Prepared in the classic technique
First you [A7pound the fish flat with a mallet
Then you [A7slash off their skin
Give their belly a slice
Then you [A7ɾub some salt in
'Cause it makes it taste nice
Zut alors, I have missed one!
Sacre bleu, what is this?
How on [C7]earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent crab
Quel dommage, what a loss
Here we go, in the sauce
Now some flour I think just a dab
Now I stuff you [A7with bread
Don't worry, 'cause you're dead
And you're certainly lucky you [A7are
'Cause it's gonna be [Am]hot in my [A]big silver pot
Toodle-oo mon [C7]poisson
Au ɾevoir!
