Civet à Tout Vitesse
 (Sung text for setting by L. Bernstein)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Lorsque on sera très pressé, 
voici un' manière de confectionner 
 un civet de lièvre que je recommande!
Dépecez le lièvre comme pour le civet ordinaire :
Mettez-le dans une casserole ou chaudron 
 avec son sang et son foie écrasé!
Un'demi-livre de poitrine de porc
  (coupée en morceaux);
une vingtaine de petits oignons
  (un peu de sel et poivr');
un litre e demi de vin rouge. 
 Fait' bouillir à tout' vitesse.
Au bout de quinze minutes environ,
 lorsque la sauce est réduite de moitié, 
 approchez un papier enflammé,
  de manière à mettre le feu au ragoût.
Lorsqu'il sera éteint, liez la sauc(e) 
 avec un' demi-livre de beurre manié de farine.
Servez.
