French text

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

English translation

We are of the Order of drunken fools

The Order does not command us to get up early

Sleep on till primes

and drink good wine

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
