Well done to all the above challengers - a good set of songs. We seem to have a soft spot for animals, but as this is the Mudcat, I suppose that's understandable.This wants a French cafe-style accordion accompaniment - something like 'Those Canaan Days' from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat'
Sanglochon Saucisson
There's a restaurant I know of in Var, France
In a back street in a quaint old French town
We found it completely by bon chance
It seemed just a little run down
Still the menu was tempting good value
The aroma, it sang of great food
We entered and sat at a table
An aperitif made us feel good
Each course as it came was outstanding
Les escargots with garlic a treat
Daube de saumon, Boeuf Bourgignone, tarte Tatin
The best that I ever did eat
We sat back, replete and contented.
'Mes compliments to the patron!'
'Monsieur, 'e will come in a minute'
From the kitchen came a sanglochon!
Imagine my startled reaction
ButI spoke to the piglike chef still
'Your cuisine, my dear sir, is amazing
Pray, why do you cook, if you will ?
'Monsieur, I am happy to tell you
We sanglochons know how to cook
I found out this fact quite by accident
While browsing an old cookery book'
'In a chapter on French charcuterie
I came on this phrase quite by chance:
'Dear reader, note well, the sanglochon
Makes the best sausages in all France!'
(Sorry, couldn't resist the twisted interpretation of the challenge)
