lyrics

: Maman, nous sommes à la maison
Where did you keep the body?

: Silly, silly child--
You’ve been walking around with a crow between your legs.

: Oui, Maman--
The crow between my legs is the same crow you once had on your back.

: My poor child-- you’re pale as a ghost!
Have you heard how beautifully the crow sings?

: No, Maman. Please don’t make me hear the crow sing.

: Maman, where did you hide the body?
Did it kwack and thwack when you whacked it in the head?

: Not any more than you will, my child.
Cup of tea, perhaps?

: Spare me your niceties, Maman.
I’m hungry and I’ve come to collect the body.

: You speak in such snaking sentences, child.
Come sit with me a while?

: Stay away from me, Maman.
Why are you holding a blindfold?

: (no response)

:No, Maman. Please don’t make me close my eyes.

: Bon voyage, Ma Petite Cuckoo.
The body you were looking for was yours.
