WHEN I WAS A BACHELOR
Reading edition
1. Quand j’étais un garçon, I lived by myself, Et toute la viande et le fromage I put upon a shelf. 2. Les rats et les souris Did lead me such a life, Je m’en allai à Londres To get myself a wife. 3. Les rues étant grandes, And the lanes being narrow, Je dus amener mon épouse, In a wheel-barrow. 4. La brouette se cassa, My wife got a fall, A terre fut la brouette, Little wife and all.
