lyrics to

BONSOIR MOREAU

by Jim Bradshaw

Oh bonsoir Moreau
Oh bonsoir Moreau
Oh j'connais cest l'heure je m'en va
Oh bonsoir Moreau
Bonsoir Moreau

On a eu un bon temps
Un bon temps tout la nuit
Oh j'connais c'est l'heure je m'en va
Oh Bonsoir Moreau
Bonsoir Moreau

Oh la lune ap'ès coucher
et soleil ap'ès lever
et Caillette est pas tirée
Oh bonsoir Moreau
Bonsoir Moreau

Oh good evening Moreau
Oh good evening Moreau
Oh I know it's time for me to go
Oh good evening Moreau
Good evening Moreau

We had a good time
A good time all night long
Oh I know it's time for me to go
Oh good evening Moreau
Good evening Moreau

Oh the moon is setting
And the sun is rising
And the cow has not been milked
Oh good evening Moreau
Good evening Moreau
