Vieille Canaille

I'll be happy when you're dead
Old Scoundrel
I'll be happy when you're dead
Old Scoundrel
You've got nothing to lose by waiting
I'll know how to take you down
I'll be happy to have your skin
Old Camel

I welcomed you with open arms
Old Scoundrel
You always had your place setting
Old Scoundrel
You burned all my rugs
You even smoked in my bed
You drank all my whisky
Old Bandit

Then I introduced you to my wife
Old Scoundrel
I introduced you to my wife
Old Scoundrel
You talked her up
You kissed her in the corners
As soon as I turned my back
Old Camel

But I left with her
Old Scoundrel
Yes, I left with her
Old Scoundrel
Taking the dishes
The bedspread in Lace
Your cassettes, your tape recorder
Old Camel

I took out my rifle
Old Scoundrel
I took out my rifle
Old Scoundrel
And when I've got you at the end
I'll have a good laugh
And I'll quickly cool you down
Old Bandit

But we'll put you in a grave
Old Scoundrel
And I'll go and do the bombing
Old Scoundrel
With little glasses of brandy
The best drunk of my life
Will be for your funeral
Old Scoundrel
Old Scoundrel
