Lyrics: Clément Marot

Un jour Robin vint Margot empoigner,
Et lui monstrant l'outil de son ouvrage,
Et sans parler la voulut besoigner.
Mais Margot dit: "Vous me feriez outrage;
Il est trop gros et long à l'avantage".
"Bien", dit Robin, "tout en votre fendasse
Je n'y mettrai", adoncques il embrassa,
Et seulement la moitié y transporte.
"Ha", dit Margot, en faisant la grimace,
"Boutez y tout; aussi bien suis-je morte".

So one day Robin comes to grope Margot,
And he's shewing her the tool of his trade,
And he's wishing to bonk her, with no small talk.
But Margot says: "You'll do me an injury;
Its too big and too long for comfort".
"Fine", says Robin, "I'll not put it all
in your crack", and then he hugs her,
and offers up just half of it.
So Margot pulls a face, and she's like: "Ha!
Shove it all in; I'm as good as dead".
