Lyrics: Anon

En un château, ma dame par grand cure
Vit Hercules en marbre erigé.
Beau le trouva et de belle stature;
N'y trouvant rien pour être corrigé,
Fors le petit membre, qu'elle a jugé
Être imparfait auprès de son grand corps.
"Vous vous trompez" dit le maçon agé,
"Car vos grands trous étaient petits alors".

So in this classy gaff her indoors, well nosey,
has a butcher's at this Hercules carved from marble,
well fit and a fine upstanding young man.
She rates him all O.K. 'cept for
his little hampton which she reckons
way too small given his overall lardiness.
"You're wrong, mate", says the aged chiseller,
"'cause your ginormous orifices used to be minute".
