It's a song from Asterix, where the 2 bad guys are baking a poison cake for cleopatra and claim it came from Asterix and his friends.

It's childish, but I love it! I would have sung the German version, but I don't like how they translated the text, so I just sang the original...even though I hardly understand what I'm singing. But 9 years French at school at least ensure I know a little bit about the right pronouncation.

I tried to stay close to the original chords but changed stuff here and there. Most significant is that the end part is in another key than the rest of the song. I also cut the spoken comments, they just sounded stupid when I tried to do them.

Watch the original: German
Dunno what language...Danish or Swedish I think


Lyrics
Chords


Verse #1
Dans un grand bol de strychnine
Diluer de la morphine
Faites tiédir à la casserole
Un bon verre de pétrole

Quelques gouttes de ciguë
De la bave de sangsue
Un scorpioncoupé très fin
Et un peu de poivre en grain

Verse #2
Émiettez votre arsenic
Dans un verre de narcotique
Deux cuillères de purgatif
On fait bouillir à feu vif

Dans un petit plat à part
Tiédir du sang de lézard
La valeur d'un dé à coudre
Et un peu de sucre en poudre

Piano Solo

Verse #3
Vous versez la mort-aux-rats
Dans du venin de cobra
Pour adoucir le mélange
Pressez trois quartiers d'orange

Décorez de fruits confits
Moisis dans du vert-de-gris
Tant que votre patte est molle
Et un peu de vitriol

End
Le pudding a l'arsenic !
nous permet ce pronostic
demain sur les bord du nil
que mangeront les crocodile!?

Des! Gau! Lois!

oup a dee dou la di daaaaaaa yeah!
