It looks like Chenier's version is called "Bon Ton Roulet" (Click the link to see CDNOW's list of titles, and follow the links to find sound samples.)

(I guess music publishers don't like to bother with correct French spelling.)

Unfortunately, my French isn't good enough to allow me to transcribe the sound samples.

I notice there are also versions spelled "Bon Ton Roula" "Bon Ton Roulie" -- and Ray Stevens has one called "Bon Temps Roulette" -- probably a deliberate pun.
