VIVE DE GAULLE
This old man he played ONE
He played knick-knack at Verdun,
Cognac, Armagnac, Burgundy and Beaune,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man - World War TWO -
He told Churchill what to do;
Free French General - Crosses of Lorraine;
He came rolling home again.
This old man he played TROIS,
'Vive la France! La France c'est moi!
Gimcrack governments - call me if you please:
Colombey-les-deux-Eglises.'
This old man he played FOUR;
Choose de Gaulle or civil war!
Come back President, govern by decree!
Referendum: Oui! Oui! Oui!
This old man he played FIVE,
'France is safe, I'm still alive.'
Plastiques, Pompidou, sing the Marseillaise:
ALGERIE N'EST PAS FRANCAISE!
This old man he played SIX:
'France and England, they don't mix.
Eytie, Benelux, Germany and me -
That's my market recipe!'
This old man SEPT ET HUIT,
'NATO give me back my fleet!'
Tch Tch! Adena ratified at Bonn,
One old man goes on and on!
This old man NINE AND TEN,
He'll play Nick till God knows when;
Cognac, Armagnac, Burgundy and Beaune,
This old man thinks he's Saint Joan!
