AH ! VOUS DIRAI-JE, MAMAN (Oh, Shall I Tell You Mommy?)

In this traditional French children’s song — “AH ! VOUS DIRAI-JE, MAMAN” — the child complains to his mother that Daddy wants him to reason like a grown-up, but he thinks reasoning is overrated and candy is better than reason! This original arrangement of the traditional French song is from the Whistlefritz CD CARNAVAL.

Song “AH ! VOUS DIRAI-JE, MAMAN” from the Whistlefritz CD CARNAVAL.

OH ! SHALL I TELL YOU, MOMMY
WHAT IS CAUSING MY AGONY?
DADDY WANTS ME TO REASON
LIKE A GROWN-UP
ME, I SAY THAT CANDY
IS WORTH MORE THAN REASON

OH ! SHALL I TELL YOU, MOMMY
WHAT IS CAUSING MY AGONY?
DADDY WANTS ME TO REASON
LIKE A GROWN-UP
ME, I SAY THAT CANDY
IS WORTH MORE THAN REASON

OH ! SHALL I TELL YOU, MOMMY
WHAT IS CAUSING MY AGONY?
DADDY WANTS ME TO REASON
LIKE A GROWN-UP
ME, I SAY THAT CANDY
IS WORTH MORE THAN REASON
