2. Odile  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Odile rêve au bord de l'île,
Lorsqu'un crocodile surgit;
Odile a peur du crocodile
Et, lui évitant un "ci-gît",
Le crocodile croque Odile.

Caï raconte ce roman,
Mais, sans doute, Caï l'invente
Odile alors serait vivante
Et, dans ce cas-là, Caï ment.

Un autre ami d'Odile, Alligue
Pour faire croire à cette mort
Se démène, paye et intrigue
D'aucuns disent qu'Alligue à tort.

Text Authorship:

  • by Jean Cocteau (1889 - 1963), "Chanson du Pharynx", written 1913-1914, first published 1913-1914

3. Théo  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Voyant une femme aux yeux gris, 
S’approchant d’elle, Théo rit.

Il suit la dame à l’instant même
Puis, ayant aimé, Théo raime.

Ayant aimé trois fois encor,
Un peu fatigué, Théo dort.

Mais oyez la fin de l’idylle ; 
Sans remercier, Théo file !
