A SONG FOR BREXIT


Click on image for a larger version

C'est une poupée qui fait non...non...non...non...
Toute la journée elle fait non...non..non...non...

Elle est tell'ment jolie
Que j'en rêve la nuit.

C'est une poupée qui fait non...non...non...non...
Toute la journée, elle fait non...non...non..non...

Personne ne lui a jamais appris
Qu'on pouvait dire oui.

Sans même écouter, elle fait non...non...non...non...
Sans même regarder, elle fait non...non...non...non...

Pourtant je donnerais ma vie
Pourqu'elle dise oui.

Mais c'est une poupée qui fait non...non...non...non...
Toute la journée elle fait non...non...non...non...

Personne ne lui a jamais appris
Que l'on peut dire oui...

Non...non...non...non...
Non...non...non...non...

  1. Older (more mature!) readers will remember the 1960s when the boot was on the other foot and it was de Gaulle who was then saying NON to admitting the UK into the EEC (as the EU was then).

    How right he was.

    For those not lucky enough ever to have been “au pair” in France, below is a translation/interpretation of the song in the current context (with apologies to Michel Polnareff whose bit we hope he got in the long run.)

    Mr Barnier, I say No No No No No
    Always night and day I say No No No No No

    I've had a sleepless night
    But it will be alright
    I'm able for the fight
    You keep your EU shite

    Mr Barnier, I say No No No No No
    Always night and day I say No No No No No

    I am so jollified
    My hands will not be tied
    We'll get our money back
    And fly the Union Jack
    To hell with your twelve stars
    We'll make our own fine cars

    Mr Barnier, I say No No No No No
    Always night and day I say No No No No No

    Ireland can have the North
    You too, for what it's worth
    With Michelle and Arlene
    We don't want to be seen
    We'll stay with our dear Queen
    You keep Orange and Green

    Mr Barnier, I say No No No No No
    Always night and day I say No No No No No

    You lot can go and hump
    We'll stay with Mr Trump
    We're staying in the pink
    Leaving your lot to sink

    Mr Barnier, I say No No No No No
    Always night and day I say No No No No No
