LES PETITS SAINT PIERRE SONT PLUS RICHES QUE LES ÉVÊQUES (French) Les petits Saint Pierre sont plus riches que les évêques (bis) Et le dimanche commencent la semaine Salutaire fa fa fa, j'ai pas perdu ma femme Soit dit entre nous, Saint-Pierre est toujours chauve ! Le lundi ils font une fête. Le mardi, ils ont mal à la tête Le mercredi, levaient la chopinette. Le jeudi, ils vont voir les maîtresses. Le vendredi, ils s' passent la navette. Le samedi, la semaine est bien faite. Le dimanche, ils vont à la basse messe. Quand y ont l' temps, y r'tournent à la grand messe ! Coirault : 6414 La semaine ouvrière. Laforte : IV, Ca-10 La semaine ouvrière. RADdO : 01230.

THE LITTLE SAINT PIERRE ARE RICHER THAN THE BISHOPS The little Saint Pierre are richer than the bishops (twice) And on Sunday they start the week Salutary fa fa fa, I didn't lose my wife Between you and me, Saint Peter is always/still bald! On Monday they have a party On Tuesday, they have a headache. On Wednesday they had a drink. On Thursday, they go to see their mistresses On Friday, they have the shuttle going On Saturday, the week is over. On Sunday, they go to low mass. When they have time, they go back for high mass!

You can hear the recording here
There's a lightly different version of this song on CD 7 (Cf. the Mudcat post about it)

If someone has an idea about who these "Saint Pierre" can be... I could find no link between St Peter and weavers, he doesn't seem to be their patron saint anywhere. I also thought that the song could have been adapted to make fun of people from Saint Pierre and Miquelon...
