Je suis désolé! © Sean McGaughey Feb 19, 2021
Verse D-A (repeat)
I Tried to get a two egg breakfast, then left in a huff
When the waiter said Monsieur, one egg is un oeuf!.
On the way home I walked through the park by the school
A chicken was in the water, it was a swimming poule.
Chorus
G D
Oh take me back to the good old days, like it was before
A D
When the movies were in black and white, not film noir
G D
And on every street were houses. not pieds-à-terre
A D
Oh take me back to the good old days, take me there.
I fell through the roof of a French bakery, again.
Should have learned my lesson, I’m in a world of pain.
My cat left my computer logged into snapchat and then
The dog had to have his turn on snap chien.
Chorus
Last Thursday 3 cats fell into the aquarium tank
None came out because un deux trois cat sank
I saw this on the Thursday night news on TV
The anchor said, "What a shame! It was a trajeudi!"
Chorus

Your sense of humor and double entendres are one of my favorite things about your writing. And In a sucker for french...even though I have no real working knowledge or ability. Just the crap they teach you in elementary and MS.

This is terrific, Sean! I too think the swimming poule is the best line. Very Canadian!

This is fun. A lot of energy, balance, and good cheer, and the bilingual puns are great.
@rayboneor 2 weeks
Ha! This is great. I love the guitar and your vocal. And, of course, I'm always happy to hear some cross-lingual puns. Did you know that Easter is a bonne idée?

My only complaint is that you're spreading the dangerous idea that one egg is enough! No way!

This brings a huge smile to my face. My first thought when I read the lyrics was Woody 😁. I really miss him being around too, we did a lot of fun collabs back when. Thank you.
