Cocktail Counterpoint
Lyricist:Jerry Herman
I joined the foreign legion With a saber in my hand I crawled across the desert With my belly in the sand
With men who loved their camels And their brandy and I swear Nobody dished, nobody swished When I was a Foreign Legionnaire
Oh, what lovely dishes They're so delicate and frail Mine have naked children I believe they're only male
Oops, I think they're playing Some exotic, little game Oops, I think that Leap-frog is its name
This is even worse than I feared The son is strange, the father is weird To meet the wife, I'm actually afraid I prefer that Anne remain an old maid
It's appalling to confess Our new in-laws are a mess She's a prude, he's a prig She's a pill, he's a pig Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com So zis, zis, zis for you, Papa
I joined the foreign legion with a saber in my hand (Oh, what lovely dishes) (They're so delicate and frail) I crawled across the desert with my belly in the sand (Mine have naked children) (I believe they're only male)
With men who loved their camels and their brandy and I swear (Oops, I think they're playing some exotic, little game) Nobody dished, nobody swished (I prefer that Anne remain an old maid) When I was a Foreign Legionnaire
I joined the foreign legion with a saber in my hand (Oh, what lovely dishes) (They're so delicate and frail) I crawled across the desert with my belly in the sand (Mine have naked children) (I believe they're only male)
With men who loved their camels and their brandy and I swear (Oops, I think they're playing some exotic, little game) Nobody dished, nobody swished (I prefer that Anne remain an old maid) When I was a Foreign Legionnaire
Here's mother
