Damned! Un oiseau mort (life and death of the inspector Blumstein and his assistant mister Parker)
The bird is dead
The bird is dead
Oh the bird is dead
For a long time, I couldn’t hear no coui coui anymore
And now that I see him lying cold on the grass
The verdict is clear, mister Parker
That bird is dead
Damned, Damned, Damned, Oh Damned
I know who did that, but I just can’t remember
I wrote it here, can you read it mister Pakers? I haven’t my monocle
You can’t be the murderer mister Pacekers!
You stayed with us day and night
You didn’t kill the bird mister Barber, did you?
Mister Paper did you see that bird before he died?
In that case there is no doubt mister Popers
You are the murderer mister Flowers
You have the right to stay silent and call the inspector me mister Painter
From the beginning, I knew it
Even if Parker was my old assistant
I always realised he was never himself when he was in a garden
And this, unfortunately happens very often, with many people
Even with people like you
I don’t mind saying this, I don’t have any good feeling with you anyway
