Let's see, uh... It was on an island And there was this snake And this snake had legs And he could walk all around the island Yes, that's true A snake with legs And the man and the woman were on the island too And they were not very smart But they were happy as clams. Yes Let's see, uh... Then one evening The snake was walking about in the garden And he was talking to himself And he saw the woman, and they started to talk And they became friends Very good friends And the woman liked the snake very much Because when he talked He made little noises with his tongue And his long tongue Was lightly licking about his lips Like there was a little fire inside his mouth And the flame would come dancing out of his mouth And the woman liked this... very much And after that, she was bored with the man Because no matter what happened He was always as happy as a clam What did the snake say? Yes, what was he saying? Ok, I will tell you The snake told her things about the world He told her about the time there was this big typhoon on the island And all the sharks came out of the water Yes, they came out of the water And they walked right into your house With their big white teeth And the woman hearrd these things And she was in love And the man came out and said: We have to go now And the woman did not want to go Because she was a hothead Because she was a woman in love Anyway, they got into the boat and left the island But they never stayed anywhere very long Because the woman was restless She was a hothead She was a woman in love And this is not a story my people told It is something I know... myself And when I do my job I am thinking about these things Because when I do my job That... is what I think about Oooo la la la la Voici, voilà Oooo la la la la Voici le langage de l'amour Oooooo la la la la (la la la la) La la la Voici...
