La Cuisinière

I was invited
To celebrate the night
To ring in the new year
With a big party
Me, always in a good mood
I didn’t say no
And when I got there
I heard singing

Ah! it’s so nice, nice, to have
A beer with the cook
In a little dark corner
And if it’s nice, nice, do it with laughter
There’s nothing wrong with that
During New Year’s time
(repeat)

Midnight has come
We wish each other a happy new year
The beer is set aside
And we’re having brandy
We mixed too much
I got all tipsy
And all damn day long
I just wanted to whisper

Ah! it’s so nice, nice, to have
A beer with the cook
In a little dark corner
And if it’s nice, nice, do it with laughter
There’s nothing wrong with that
During New Year’s time
(repeat)
