And her cousin, she divine

But her cousin, is unhealthy

I would even say that she good for nothing

Less than Zoé, but more than Nathalie

Gaston has the telephone which is

Why a person never answers it

Gaston has the telephone which is

Why a person never answers it

Marie-Louise, it is exquisite

Marie-Thérèse, it is obese

Marie-Berthe, it is expert

Via his/her aunt Artémise

Edouard smokes the cigar

And Léonard wears a black beard

Léontine cooks the food

Mr Gaston occupies himself on the telephone

Gaston has the telephone which is

Why a person never answers it

Gaston has the telephone which is

Why a person never answers it

Non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non, non,

Gaston the telephone is yours

Perhaps - although it is important
