Lyrics: Mellin de Saint-Gelais

Un jour que Madame dormait,
Monsieur branlait sa chambrière.
Et elle, qui la dance aimait,
Remuait fort bien le derrière.
Enfin la garce, toute fière,
Lui dit: "Monsieur, par votre fois,
Qui le fait mieux, Madame ou moi?".
"Toi", dit il, "ou je sois maudit".
"Saint Jean", dit elle, "je le crois,
Car tout le monde le me dit".

So one day, while Madam's asleep,
Sir tups her chambermaid;
And she, liking the jigging,
Twerks well nastily.
At the end the bint, well proud,
Says to him: "Sir, now you've had a bout,
Who does it better, Madam or me?"
"You", says he, "or I'll be damned".
"By St John", says she, "I reckon you're right,
'Cause everyone tells me that".
