Lyrics: Anon

Il est permis trouver au lit s'amie;
Aux Innocents c'est bonne occasion.
Et n'est mal fait s'un tétin on manie,
C'est qui plus est sainte religion.
Saints Innocents pleins de dévotion
Bien hérétique est qui point ne vous fête.
Mais qui ce jour ferait l'Ascension,
Plus solennelle encor' serait la fête.

It is acceptable to have your lover in your bed;
On Innocents' Day it is a a happy event.
It isn't evil to fondle a nipple,
But rather an holy religion.
It is positively heretical not to celebrate
Holy Innocents, fully devoutly.
And if anyone,on this day, should perform "The Ascension",
Then the red-letter day will be even more awe-inspiring.
