A Musical Interlude: En Cueillant La Noisette (Fred Adison Orch., voc. Roger Toussaint)

Listen here.

Lyrics for sing-along here:

Un jour, la tendre Annette,
Le cœoeur plein de désir,
Délaissant sa chambrette,
A pris bien du plaisir

{Refrain:}
En cueillant la noisette et la fraise des bois
En cueillant la noisette et en gaulant des noix
En cueillant la noisette et la fraise des bois
En cueillant la noisette et en gaulant des noix

Elle croisa Gustave
Le garçon, fort ému,
Prit son bel accent grave
Et son accent aigu

{au Refrain}

Il la prit par la taille,
Il la sentit frémir
Et dans ses yeux canailles,
Il lut bien du plaisir

{au Refrain}

Il la prit par la taille,
La prit par le menton,
Elle, dans la bataille,
Tomba sur le gazon

{au Refrain}

Ah ! Maudite culbute
Jugez du désarroi !
Le gredin, dans sa chute,
Avait vu... son émoi... Oh

En cueillant la noisette et la fraise des bois
En cueillant la noisette et en gaulant des noix

Dans cette pirouette,
Elle eut le cœoeur troublé,
Elle perdit la tête
Tout en perdant... le pied

En cueillant la noisette et la fraise des bois
En cueillant la noisette et en gaulant des noix

Sa robe, sa coiffure
Ne pourront plus servir
Belles, de l'aventure
Gardez le souvenir.
