Allons-y, Chochotte

Let's go, Chochotte

When I saw Chochotte
She completely charmed me
I said to her: "Are you a mascot?
But sir, certainly
So without further delay
I want to be your husband

She replied tenderly
I would like to be yours
But for that, you will have to
Ask my hand from my father
Let's go, Chochotte, Chochotte
Let's go, Chochotte, Chochotte, let's go

On the evening of the wedding
Once we were back home
I take the flower from her bodice
I stick my nose everywhere
Then my wife tells me
First of all, listen to me
I will crown your flame
Since you love me, take me
But for that, you will have to
Not tickle me under the arm
Let's go, Chochotte, Chochotte
Let's go, Chochotte

Just as we were about to do it
We hear on the boulevard
A popular refrain
And like the sound of firecrackers
It's a serenade
Given in our honor
A band of friends
Who all work in chorus
Accompanying themselves with instruments
Made of cardboard, strings, wind
Let's go, Chochotte

The next day, Chochotte
Says to me: "My little Albert
I want a son who discovers
Mozart and Meyerbeer
To make him a prize of Rome
You will buy a phonograph
That you will wind up, my little man
At the psychological moment and we will walk
From that moment on, as your cylinder
Will indicate
Let's go, Chochotte, Chochotte

Nine months later, Chochotte
Makes me a father of a boy
Ah!, she exclaims, by Jove!
The midwife, what do I see then?
What's wrong, madam?
Why cry so loud?
My wife asked her
Doesn't he have everything he needs?
"Yes, but you can read there
On his little belly button that refrain
Let's go, Chochotte, Chochotte
Let's go, Chochotte, Chochotte, let's go!
