The Box - Checkmate-quand Le Roy lyrics
Your rating:
Once upon a time, and many miles away Looking for adventure, travelling across the country Four young men created an attraction Telling pretty stories and playing an instument Hey! Ordinary people returning from the fields Gathered on the place, a woodshed set aflame Dancing all around, and headied by the wine Striking up a song, everybody cheered.... (CHORUS) And it's Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Quand le roy s'en va-t-en guerre Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Administer l'or du peuple Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Notre reine a la cuisse legere Hi-ho! Hi-ho! et le roy restera l'eternal cocu! Watching from a distance, his Majesty the King Wondering what it is that causes such a hubbub Calls for an inquiry of what appears to be A source of entertainment, a remedy to boredom And the king's court emissary finally comes back Troubled by the wine, stammers his report Delighted by the news, his Majesty decides The band will play tomorrow, for the court to entertain! (CHORUS) And it's Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Quand le roy s'en va-t-en guerre Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Administer l'or du peuple Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Notre reine a la cuisse legere Hi-ho! Hi-ho! et le roy restera l'eternal cocu! One ne revit plus jamais, notre quatuor errant Mais la culture d'un pays ne se meurt point facilement Si vous allez donc un jour du cote de ce village Vous endentrez surement entonner a force voix.... (CHORUS) Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Quand le roy s'en va-t-en guerre Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Administer l'or du peuple Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Notre reine a la cuisse legere Hi-ho! Hi-ho! et le roy restera l'eternal.... Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Quand le roy s'en va-t-en guerre Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Administer l'or du peuple Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Notre reine a la cuisse legere Hi-ho! Hi-ho! et le roy restera l'eternal cocu!
