Les Negresses Vertes Le Pere Magloire Lyrics

Idiot, fou, epileptique                 Idiot, fool, epileptic
Grand-pere Magloire                     Grandpa Myglory
Ne suce pas de l'eau qui pique          doesn't suck the water that stings
Le Perrier lui file des aigreurs        Perrier gives him heartburn
Grand-pere Magloire a mal au coeur      Grandpa Myglory is sick at heart
C'est ainsi qu'il perd la raison        It's thus that he loses reason
Quand grand-pere arrete de boire        When grandpa stops drinking
Ce cochon se transforme                 This bastard turns into an
  en vieux con                            an old asshole
Non, non grand-pere                     No, no grandpa
Ne t'mets pas en colere                 Don't get angry
Bois un canon,                          Drink a cannon
Dans le fond t'as p'tet raison.         At the bottom you're maybe right.
L'eau t'rend fada,                      Water makes you barmy
Grincheux et pas sympa,                 grumpy and not nice
Mais tu radotes                         But you talk a load of drivel
Quand tu pisses dans tes bottes.        When you piss in your boots.
Idiot, fou, epileptique,                Idiot, fool, epileptic
Grand-pere Magloire                     Grandpa Myglory
Si il touche a la badouwa               If he touches the sparkling water
Le grand-pere Magloire a mal au foie    Grandpa is sick in the liver
C'est ainsi qu'il deraisonne            It's thus that he loses reason
Quand grand-pere stoppe de cuver        When grandpa's off the wine
Il ne r'connait plus personne           He no longer recognizes anyone
Et c'est bubonne qu'il bastonne         It's the wifey that he starts hitting
Non, non grand-pere                     No, no grandpa
Ne t'mets pas en colere                 Don't get angry
Bois un canon,                          Drink a cannon,
Dans le fond t'as p'tet raison.         At the bottom you're maybe right.
L'eau t'rend fada,                      Water makes you barmy
Grincheux et pas sympa,                 grumpy and not nice

Mais tu radotes                         But you talk a load of drivel
Quand tu pisses dans tes bottes.        When you piss in your boots.
Idiot, fou, epileptique                 Idiot, fool, epileptic
Grand-pere Magloire                     Grandpa Myglory
A un medecin pas catholique             has a weird doctor
Qui lui ordonne du valium               who puts him on Valium
Grand-pere Magloire n'est plus          Grandpa Myglory is no longer
  un homme                                a man
Mais v'la l'Beaujolpif nouveau          But look, some cheap wine
Grand-pere craque et boit un verre      Grandpa cracks and drinks a glass
On l'fout en maison de repos            Off he goes to a convalescent home
Les psychiatres lui font la peau        The psychiatrists get his ass
Non, non grand-pere                     No, no grandpa
Ne t'mets pas en colere                 Don't get angry
Bois un canon,                          Drink a cannon,
Dans le fond t'as p'tet raison.         At the bottom you're maybe right.
L'eau t'rend fada,                      Water makes you barmy
Grincheux et pas sympa,                 grumpy and not nice
Mais tu radotes                         But you talk a load of drivel
Quand tu pisses dans tes bottes.        When you piss in your boots.
Idiot, fou, epileptique,                Idiot, fool, epileptic
Pov'grand-pere,                         Poor grandpa
La loi est meurtriere                   The law is a murderer
J'leve mon canon                        I raise my cannon
A toi et mort aux cons.                 to you and death to the bastards.
Vive la java                            Long live the java waltz
Et les blouses blanches basta           And the white coats basta
Et l'on radote,                         And one prattles on
En chialant un vieux pote,              while blubbering an old jar
Idiot, fou, epileptique.                Idiot, fool, epileptic.
