La Cage aux Folles movie - COCKTAIL COUNTERPOINT lyrics
rate me<br>
Jean-Michel:<br>
No, you're with the French Foreign Service!<br>
George:<br>
Sir!<br>
I joined the Foreign Legion with a sabre in my hand.<br>
I crawled across the desert with my belly in the sand.<br>
With men who loved their camels and their brandy and I swear,<br>
Nobody dished, <br>
Nobody swished when I was a Foreign Legionnaire.<br>
Jean-Michel:<br>
Would you like an hors d'oeuvre?<br>
Anne:<br>
Let me help.<br>
Marie:<br>
How adorable these dishes are. Are these youngsters playing together?<br>
Dindon: They look like Greeks.<br>
Georges:<br>
Oh, no, no, there wouldn't be any Greeks on my plate...unless they weren't washed well.<br>
Marie:<br>
Well, young boys in any case.<br>
Georges:<br>
No, there must be girls too. This is a mixed service.<br>
Marie:<br>
Oh, what lovely dishes! <br>
They're so delicate and frail.<br>
Mine have naked children;<br>
I believe they're only male.<br>
Oops! I think they're playing some exoctic, little game...<br>
Oops! I think that "Leap-frog" it is the name.<br>
Jean-Michel:<br>
Anyway, she's very sorry.<br>
Dindon:<br>
This is even worse than I feared<br>
The son is strange,<br>
The father is weird.<br>
To meet the wife, I'm actually afraid <br>
I prefer that Anne remain an old maid.<br>
Georges:<br>
My wife and I are devoted couple. <br>
And my son knows how much I love him and to what extremes, <br>
but my wife... Oh I love her like an ani-mal.<br>
Jacob:<br>
It's apalling to confess:<br>
Our new in-laws are a mess.<br>
She's a prude, he's a prig, <br>
She's a pill, he's a pig, <br>
So zis zis zis for you, Papa.<br>
<br>
Georges:<br>
I joined the Foreign Legion with a sabre in my hand.<br>
I crawled across the desert with my belly in the sand.<br>
With men who loved their camels and their brandy and I swear,<br>
Nobody dished, <br>
Nobody swished when I was a Foreign Legionnaire.<br>
Marie:<br>
Oh, what lovely dishes! <br>
They're so delicate and frail.<br>
Mine have naked children;<br>
I believe they're only male.<br>
Oops! I think they're playing some exoctic, little game...<br>
Oops! I think that "Leap-frog" it is the name<br>
Dindon, Anne:<br>
This is even worse than I feared<br>
