Kitchen Man - 78 rpm Version
Le cuisinier - Version 78 tours
Madam Buff's was quite deluxe
Chez Madame Buff, tout était luxueux
Servants by the score
Des serviteurs à foison
Footmen at each door
Des valets à chaque porte
Butlers and maids galore
Des majordomes et des femmes de chambre à profusion
But one day Sam, her kitchen man
Mais un jour, Sam, son cuisinier
Gave in his notice, he's through
A donné sa démission, il en a assez
She cried, "Oh Sam, don't go
Elle a pleuré, "Oh Sam, ne pars pas
It'll grieve me if you do"
Je serai affligée si tu le fais"
I love his cabbage gravy, his hash
J'adore sa sauce au chou, son hachis
Dizzy about his succotash
Je suis folle de son succotash
I can't do without my kitchen man
Je ne peux pas me passer de mon cuisinier
Wild about his turnip top
J'aime son chou-rave
Like the way he warms my chop
La façon dont il fait chauffer mon côtelette
I can't do without my kitchen man
Je ne peux pas me passer de mon cuisinier
Anybody else can leave
N'importe qui d'autre peut partir
And I would only laugh
Et je ne ferais que rire
But he means too much to me
Mais il compte trop pour moi
And you ain't heard the half
Et tu n'as pas entendu la moitié
Oh, his jelly roll is so nice and hot
Oh, son gâteau roulé est si bon et chaud
Never fails to touch the spot
Il ne manque jamais de faire mouche
I can't do without my kitchen man
Je ne peux pas me passer de mon cuisinier
His frankfurters are oh so sweet
Ses saucisses de Francfort sont si douces
How I like his sausage meat
Comme j'aime sa viande de saucisse
I can't do without my kitchen man
Je ne peux pas me passer de mon cuisinier
Oh, how that boy can open clam
Oh, comme ce garçon sait ouvrir des palourdes
No one else can touch my ham
Personne d'autre ne peut toucher mon jambon
I can't do without my kitchen man
Je ne peux pas me passer de mon cuisinier
When I eat his doughnuts
Quand je mange ses beignets
All I leave is the hole
Tout ce qu'il me reste, c'est le trou
Any time he wants to
A tout moment qu'il veut
Why, he can use my sugar bowl
Pourquoi, il peut utiliser mon sucrier
Oh, his baloney's really worth a try
Oh, son bœuf bouilli vaut vraiment le coup d'essayer
Never fails to satisfy
Il ne manque jamais de satisfaire
I can't do without my kitchen man
Je ne peux pas me passer de mon cuisinier
