Je score:
On the 14th of October Very early in the morning The results of a crime were found In the stables of La Pere Choupon The old man had discovered To his absolute dismay The dislocated body Of Elizabeth Dumoutier So… The police was called in, I was handed an inquiry Upon arriving on the scene some photographs were shot A couple of small-time journalists were rising their fists among the crowd, shouting.... The Reporter: C'est l'jeune Austin l'coupable! C'est lui qu'a fait l'coup, j'vous dis, moi! (It's Austin you should go after! He's the one who did it!) The Commissioner: Viens voir la toi....et comment c'est que vous savez ca, vous deux? (How should you know, anyway?) The Reporter: He! Normal! Tout le monde les a vu quitter le bal ensemble hier soir! (It's quite obvious! Everyone saw them leave the ballroom together last night!) Walking, walking, on the tightrope of insanity Walking, walking, on the verge of losing mind Walking, walking, on the tightrope of insanity Walking, walking, on the verge of losing mind The man was found on a nearby road Wandering without a goal In a complete state of amnesia And his hair filled with straw Though the whole thing seemed unreal It soon became quite clear That Austin, the author of this crime Needed swift assistance The Reporter: Allez, allez, la....Mr. Le Commissaire! Maintenant il va nous faire le coup du type qui se rappelle de rien! (Oh, come now, Commissioner. No one is stupid enough to believe this amnesia story anymore.) The Commissioner: Toi, je t'interdis de publier tes salades dans ton canard de merde jusqu'a ce que le proces soit termine! (You print any of this nonsense in that rag of a newspaper, I'll get you for it!) Walking, walking, on the tightrope of insanity Walking, walking, on the verge of losing mind Walking, walking, on the tightrope of insanity Walking, walking, on the verge of losing mind (CHORUS) Say, say to me Please say that this can't be Say, say to me Please say that this can't be Oh say, say to me Please say that this can't be Say, say to me Please say that this can't be Exhaustive study on the subject led experts to conclude Austin had been the victim of a strange case of split personality The trial neared its end, and though the facts had been exposed The crowd still wanted blood...... Well, they were in for a big surprise! Walking, walking, on the tightrope of insanity Walking, walking, on the verge of losing mind Walking, walking, on the tightrope of insanity Walking, walking, on the verge of losing mind (CHORUS) Say, say to me Please say that this can't be Say, say to me Please say that this can't be Say, say to me Please say that this can't be Say, say to me Please say that this can't be Say, say to me Please say that this can't be Say, say to me Please say that this can't be Oh say, say to me Please say that this can't be Say, say to me Please say that this can't be The Judge: Non coupable, pour cause d'alienation mentale. (Not guilty, on the basis of insanity) Thanks to The Proud Canadian
