The Count of Monte Cristo – “Your Friend and Neighbour”

“Your Friend and Neighbour”

Caderousse:
I know everybody’s name
If I don’t, it’s still the same
You’ll be my friend
Rright to the end
A friendship we can savour
If you need help
Just give a yelp
To your friend and neighbour!

Hello, Margot, have escargot
Bonjour, L’Amour, enjoy some more
You there, Pierre, you’ve lost your hair
And Gigi, lovely Gigi, come out back and see me!

Chorus:
This is the place we love to come
To see our friends and drink some rum
There can be no better host
His wife’s cuisine, it is the most
He’s our friend and neighbour.

Caderousse:
You’re tense, Hortense, it makes no sense
Camille, I feel you need a meal
I know, Clouseau, you’re meal’s to go
And Mimi, lovely Mimi, come out back and see me

Chorus:
This is the place we love to drink
Leave cares behind and not to think
Could there be a better friend?
And on his wife you can depend
He’s our friend and neighbour.

Mme Caderousse:
Marie, I see you’ve spilled your tea
’Allo, Coco, a new chapeau?
Dear god, Jean-Claude, you’re acting odd!
Hey, Papa, you hot Papa, come out back and see moi!

Chorus:
This is the place we love to play
Every evening, every day
To visit folks, to make some jokes
To drink some wine, til we feel fine
The loving pair for whom we care
Have a love that most would savour
We think they’re blessed, he’s just the best
He’s our friend and neighbour!
