I have "Pique la Baleine" but not the other.
Refrain
(2)
Des mers du Nord aux mers du Sud My book notes that "oh! mes boues" is the French version of our "oh my boys". I haven't figured out accents on this machine yet. Just assume an accent aigu on any final or nearly final "e", which means sing it as an extra beat. |

I know there is at least one, if not more, of traditional French lyrics sites on there. Hope this helps. katlaughing |

One version of Pique la baleine seems akin to Home Boys Home / Bell-Bottom Trousers and all those sailor songs with chambermaids, n'est-ce pas? |
