Lyrics: Anon

Frère Bidault fit, par son art
Et si bien par sa prière,
Que bien joua de son billard,
Dessus le cul de la bergère.
Elle ne fut pas trop fière
Bien ce laissa mettre dessus.
Lui serra fort la croupière
Afin qu'elle trotta plus doux.

So Brother Bidault, by his skill,
And more especially by his prayer,
Really gets to play around
With the shepherdess's bum.
She isn't too proud
To let him mount her;
He's making the crupper well tight,
So that she trots more placidly.
