French songs:
Lyrics of a song witten by Bernard Dimey
"Ivrogne, c'est un mot que ni les dictionnaires Ni les intellectuels, ni les gens du gratin Ne comprendront jamais... C'est un mot de misère Qui ressemble à de l'or à cinq heure du matin. Ivrogne... et pourquoi pas ? Je connais cent fois pire, Ceux qui ne boivent pas, qui baisent par hasard, Qui sont moches en troupeau et qui n'ont rien à dire. Venez boire avec moi... On s'ennuiera plus tard. Ivrogne et pourquoi pas "
