Lyrics and translation George Formby - I'm A Froggie
Through
saving
up
the
coupons
in
Day
and
Martin's
tea
En
économisant
les
coupons
dans
le
thé
Day
and
Martin
I
won
a
weekend
ticket
to
gay
Paree
J'ai
gagné
un
billet
de
week-end
pour
Paris
My
clothes
will
tell
you
I
am
a
continental
swell
Mes
vêtements
te
diront
que
je
suis
un
beau
gosse
continental
I'm
so
French
now
that
I
no
speak
the
English
very
well
Je
suis
tellement
français
maintenant
que
je
ne
parle
pas
très
bien
anglais
The
young
French
women,
ee
they're
fast,
on
Monday
one
sweet
pet
Les
jeunes
femmes
françaises,
elles
sont
rapides,
lundi
une
petite
chérie
She
smiled
and
asked
me
if
I'd
like
to
see
her
maisonette
Elle
a
souri
et
m'a
demandé
si
j'aimerais
voir
sa
maisonnette
I
wired
back
home
for
fourpence
more,
but
mother
wouldn't
part
J'ai
télégraphié
à
la
maison
pour
quatre
sous
de
plus,
mais
maman
n'a
pas
voulu
partager
So
I
was
whacked
or
as
we
French
say
in
the
a-la-carte
Alors
j'ai
été
frappé
ou,
comme
on
dit
en
français,
à
la
carte
I'm
a
Froggie,
I'm
a
Froggie,
I'm
a
Frenchie
dirty
doggy
Je
suis
une
grenouille,
je
suis
une
grenouille,
je
suis
un
sale
toutou
français
I
speak
the
French
tongue
most
fluidly,
Je
parle
français
très
couramment,
They
all
know
me
when
I
say
"wee
wee"
Tout
le
monde
me
connaît
quand
je
dis
"wee
wee"
I'm
a
maisong,
I'm
a
tres
bong;
that's
a
can
can
I'm
not
sure
Je
suis
un
maisong,
je
suis
un
tres
bong
; c'est
un
can
can,
je
n'en
suis
pas
sûr
The
shirt
that
I'm
now
wearing
is
pomme
de
tearing
La
chemise
que
je
porte
maintenant
est
pomme
de
déchirer
I'm
a
Froggie,
I'm
a
Froggie,
I'm
a
Lancashire
main
sewer
(monsieur)
Je
suis
une
grenouille,
je
suis
une
grenouille,
je
suis
un
égout
principal
du
Lancashire
(monsieur)
The
Frenchie
girls
all
call
me
a
chick
I
don't
know
why
Les
filles
françaises
m'appellent
toutes
un
poussin,
je
ne
sais
pas
pourquoi
Unless
it's
my
fine
feathers
that
caught
their
eye
Sauf
peut-être
que
ce
sont
mes
belles
plumes
qui
ont
attiré
leur
attention
I
smiled
once
at
a
French
girl,
she
smiled
back
at
me
too
J'ai
souri
une
fois
à
une
Française,
elle
m'a
souri
en
retour
But
her
old
man
to
make
things
worse
had
fought
at
Waterloo
Mais
son
vieux
pour
faire
pire
avait
combattu
à
Waterloo
He
said
we'd
have
to
fight
a
duel
and
I
turned
white
as
chalk
Il
a
dit
qu'on
devait
se
battre
en
duel
et
je
suis
devenu
blanc
comme
la
craie
He
gave
me
choice
of
weapons
so
I
chose
a
knife
and
fork
Il
m'a
donné
le
choix
des
armes
alors
j'ai
choisi
un
couteau
et
une
fourchette
And
as
I
turned
to
run
away,
the
coward
stabbed
me
hard
Et
comme
je
me
retournais
pour
m'enfuir,
le
lâche
m'a
poignardé
Then
picked
his
missus
up
and
smacked
her
on
the
boulevard
Puis
il
a
ramassé
sa
missus
et
l'a
giflée
sur
le
boulevard

Our
knocker-up
calls
me
her
"apache",
Notre
réveille-matin
m'appelle
son
"apache",
She
gets
very
rash,
swings
on
my
tash
Elle
devient
très
éruptive,
se
balance
sur
ma
moustache
I'm
a
flirter,
bit
of
skirter,
ruined
homes
lie
at
my
door
Je
suis
un
flirteur,
un
peu
de
jupon,
des
maisons
ruinées
sont
à
ma
porte
The

call
me
deceiver,
the

call
"viveur"
(rake
- fast
liver)
Les
filles
m'appellent
trompeur,
les

leurs
yeux
