Lyrics: Anon

Guillot un jour était avec Babeau,
Et lui montrait son grand diable de chose,
Laquelle aussi découvrir son bas beau,
Étant plus rouge et plus vermeil que rose.
"Lors", lui dit belle, "où m'amour est enclose!
Je le ferai tant que l'on s'en rira.
Avant ami trop longtemps on repose,
N'épargnons point la chair qui pourrira".

So Guillot is with Babeau one day,
and he's shewing her his monster devil's thing,
and also she's clocking its lovely sheath,
which is more red and ruddy than pink.
The stunner is like "Now do I like that!
I'll do it so much it'll make you grin.
Chop-chop, mate,
don't let's spare that rod, it'll spoil".
