Cocktail Counterpoint
[Georges]
I joined the Foreign Legion with a sabre in my hand
And crawled across the desert with my belly in the sand
With men sho loved their camels and their brandy, and I swear
Nobody dished, nobody swished
When I was a foreign Legionnaire

[Marie]
Oh, what lovely dishes
They're so delicate and frail
Mine have naked children
I believe they're only male
Oops, I think they're playing some exotic, little game

[Jean-Michel]
Oops, I think that "leap-frog" is it's name!

[Dindon]
This is even worse than I feared
The son is strange
The father is weird
To meet the wife, I'm actually afraid
I prefer that Anne remain an old maid

[Jacob]
It's appaling to confess
Our new in-laws are a mess
She's a prude, he's a prig
She's a pill, he's a pig
So zis, zis, zis for you, Papa!
