Les Poissons Lyrics

Les Poissons lyrics

Nouvelle cuisine

Les Champes-Elysses 

Maurice Chevalier 



Les poissons, les poissons 

How I love les poissons

Love to chop and to serve little fish 

First I cut of their heads 

Zen I pull out their bones 

Ah mais oui, ça c'est toujours delish 



Les poissons, les poissons 

Hee hee hee, haw haw haw 

With the cleaver I hack them 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 tempting the palate 

Prepared in the classic technique 

First you pound the fish flat with a mallet 

Then you slash through the skin 

Give the the belly a slice 

Then you rub some salt in 

'Cause that makes it taste nice



Zut alors! I have missed one 



Sacre bleu, what is zis? 

How on earth could I miss 

Such a sweet, little succulent crab? 

Quelle dommage! What a loss

Here we go, in the sauce 

And some flour, I think just a dab 



Then I stuff you with bread 

It don't hurt, 'cause you're dead 

And you're certainly lucky, you are 

'Cause it's gonna be hot 

In my big silver pot 

Tout à l'heure, mon poisson!

Au revoir!
