Attention, la classe! Today we will discuss the preparation of that
Favorite food... fish! Or as we say in my country, "les poissons."
(Sung)
Les poissons, les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop and to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out their bones
Ah mais oui, ça c'est toujours delish
Les poissons, les poissons
With the cleaver, I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes, don't you?
Here's something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet
Then you slash through the skin
Give the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice
(Spoken)
Oh, for a special treat, you must try the shellfish! Oh
The shellfish! They are the noblest of the sea's creatures!
That's right, we are!
The clam is excellent, the lobster is extraordinary, but
Best of all, mes étudiants, best of all... is the crab!
Oh, that's nothing!
Ah, the crab!
Oh, please!
Ah, the crab!
(Sung)
I'll give you a demonstration
Of my special preparation
First you nab the crab
Then you grab the crab
Then you stab the crab!
What!
