Re: look like a monkey?

Finally found the original song, written and recorded by jazz musician Clarence Williams in 1930.

Re: look like a monkey?

Hi Roger my friend,
Here are french lyrics. (I don't understand all the names)

Moi, j’veux dire (???), oh t’as mangé tous les fèves,
Tu vas r’sembler comme macaque quand tu s’ras vieux.
Hey, Adam, mange pas tous des bananes,
Tu vas r’sembler comme un macaque quand tu s’ras vieux.

Moi j’veux dire (???), que toi t’es moitié fou,
Tu vas r’sembler comme un macaque quand tu s’ras vieux.
Moi, j’peux dire (???), que toi t’es paresseux,
Tu vas r’sembler comme un macaque quand tu s’ras vieux.

English lyrics................

Marc.
