Here's Derek Brimstone's lyrics - 2008/01/03 16:17
(Sorry, created a new thread by accident.)
Following RayT's lead, I Googled for Derek, found his website and e-mailed him. He e-mailed me back, asking me to phone him so he could sing me the song!
Derek says the original song was written by John Wells (of Private Eye "Dear Bill" Letters and TVs "Rory Bremner With Wells and Fortune" fame) and recorded by Jeremy Taylor ("Ag Pleez Deddy") as "Pizzouf". It's not on any of the three CDs on Jeremy's site, but while I was there I noticed that one of them includes a song "adapted from 'Marinette'".
Anyway, Derek Brimstone heard Jeremy's song and wanted to sing it, but couldn't remember the lyrics, so he wrote his own version in his own dog-French. He sang it for me, but there's one line he can't remember. He suggested I make something up for it, but I'm not up to the task.
Here's my dog-French version of Derek's dog-French version (Jeremy has a degree in French).
Comme je promenade dans la rue
Toutes les femmes disent 'Pizzouf'
Avec mon parapluie sur mon bras
Toutes les femmes disent 'Pizzouf'
Les chansons des oiseaus j'aime beaucoup
Et je sourire a je retourne à vous
????? ???? ???? (la rue?)
Et toutes les femmes disent 'Pizzouf'.
Au longue de Shaftesbury Avenue
Toutes les femmes disent 'Pizzouf'
Et tous les hommes sont mon bons amis
Tous les hommes disent 'Pizzouf'
And they all say that they of me are fond
À Cockfosters et la Rue de Balls Pond
Paddington, Euston and all stations beyond
Elles disent "For Christ's sake pizzouf".
