by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Je ne suis plus dans l'ignorance
Language: French (Français) 
Je ne suis plus dans l'ignorance,
Je sais mon ba be bi bo bu 
Déjà mon petit coeur ému
Près d'un jeune berger commence
A faire ta te ti to tu.
Faites-moi donc présent, ma mère,
D'un mari da de di do du
Qu'il soit sémillant, vif et dru,
Surtout d'un âge à pouvoir plaire,
Car un vieux: pa pe pi po pu.
Si pour moi sa tendresse dure
J'aurai toujours de la vertu,
Mais s'il est brutal et bourru
Ma bonne maman, je vous jure
Qu'il sera ca ce ci co cu.
