Les Perroquets - Remastered

Un gros mari plein d'arrogance
Après deux mois et demi d'absence
Rentra chez lui plein de méfiance
Envers sa femme trop jolie

Il inspecta toutes les pièces
La questionna en vain sans cesse
Cherchant une preuve manifeste
Quand tout à coup il entendit
Son perroquet crier ceci

Coco
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Mon vieux mari
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Cet abruti

Il entra dans une telle colère
Que tous les meubles en tremblèrent
Que l'perroquet dans sa volière
En demeura interloqué
Puis il couru conter sa peine
À son ami le plus fidèle
Qui se sentit devenir blême
En entendant son perroquet
Se mettre soudain à crier

Coco
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Mon vieux mari
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Cet abruti

Le beau mari bombant le torse
Rouge de honte claqua la porte
En criant "Le diable m'emporte
Je m'en vais voir mon avocat"

Et en soufflant comme un cloporte
Chez son avocat se transporte
Mais quand on sonna à la porte
Il entendit à l'intérieur
Deux perroquets crier en choeur

Coco
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Mon vieux mari
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Cet abruti

Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Mon vieux mari
Profitons-en, il est parti, parti, parti
Cet abruti

Profitons-en, la la la la la la la la
La la la la
Profitons-en, la la la...

The Parrots - Remastered

A big arrogant husband
After two and a half months of absence
Went home full of mistrust
Towards his too pretty wife

He inspected all the rooms
Questioned her in vain incessantly
Looking for a clear proof
When suddenly he heard
His parrot shout this

Coco
Let's take advantage, he's gone, gone, gone
My old husband
Let's take advantage, he's gone, gone, gone
That idiot

He flies into such a rage
That all the furniture trembles
That the parrot in its aviary
Is dumbstruck
Then he runs to tell his troubles
To his most faithful friend
Who feels himself turn pale
Hearing his parrot
Suddenly start screaming

Coco
Let's take advantage, he's gone, gone, gone
My old husband
Let's take advantage, he's gone, gone, gone
That idiot

The handsome husband puffing up his chest
Red with shame slams the door
Shouting "The devil take me
I'm going to see my lawyer"

And puffing like a woodlouse
He goes to his lawyer's office
But when the bell rings
He hears inside
Two parrots shouting in chorus

Coco
Let's take advantage, he's gone, gone, gone
My old husband
Let's take advantage, he's gone, gone, gone
That idiot

Let's take advantage, he's gone, gone, gone
My old husband
Let's take advantage, he's gone, gone, gone
That idiot

Let's take advantage, la la la la la la la la
La la la la
Let's take advantage, la la la...
