By this beautiful Sunday

The little baker

First verse
On this beautiful Sunday
Dague digue don
What do I have here, tell me then
On my white chef's hat?
It's a vol-au-vent in a square basket
Maluron luron luré
A vol-au-vent
Of a skilled art
We will be greeted with long applause
These chicken kidneys and sweetbreads
It's for a notary, let's go cheerfully
Quickly I take them to this old glutton
All hot, all hot

Second verse
With my hands in my pockets
I was walking softly
But I hear crazy laughter
Well! I approach
It's a green monkey, dancing gently
I find that charming
I jump in the air
Do you believe, my dear
Yes I jump in the air like a total fool
And my vol-au-vent makes the same leap
All my mushrooms rain down at once
Even on my nose three fall
All hot, all hot

Third verse
A gentleman passing by
Laughs at my misfortune
But soon drying my tears
I nimbly gather
Tasting the sauce, licking my fingers
"We are not always made of wood"
I arrange everything
To my liking.
Quickly let’s go, my tasty pieces
And gently let’s jump over the streams,
For if the boss over there was watching
He would give me a nice slap
All hot, all hot.

I searched for this song myself for years because my grandmother used to sing it to me. A friend found it in an old notebook of songs from a schoolteacher born around 1895 in Loiret. As for the melody, I don’t quite remember it, maybe you know it?

On this beautiful Sunday
Dagger dam d'ong
What do I have there, tell me then
Under my white toque?
It's a vol-au-vent
In a square basket
My luron luron luré
A vol-au-vent
Of a skilled art.
Hands in my pockets,
I was strolling softly
When I hear a crazy laugh,
Well! I get closer,
It's a green monkey
Who dances gently,
Finding that charming
I jump in the air
Do you believe it my dear
Yes, I jump in the air
In a triple jump
And my vol-au-vent
Makes the same jump.
All the mushrooms
Fall at once
And even on my nose
Three of them land
All hot, all hot.

It may not be complete and I've forgotten the rest. Let's hope someone remembers which school book it can be found in. I've searched a lot among old books, in vain so far.

If we can help and bring joy, what does it matter the question!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Carmen, you just made someone very happy! You are amazing! Mom knew the beginning of the nursery rhyme, but she couldn't really remember the end.

Let’s hope that the requester Eric will come back to this site that helped us find everything! "Howitworks" allows you to do everything, absolutely everything, from trivial things to more important ones! That proves its reputation! I think everyone should be proud of it!!!

Again, all my thanks.

I am happy for you. This song has always made me dream, and I also searched for it for years because it references a society that has since vanished, the little pastry chef delivering a vol-au-vent on his hat, the monkey showman in the street, etc. I apologize for having caused irritation to some by mistakenly intervening in a serious forum.

On a beautiful Sunday
digue digue don
what is this, tell me under my white cap
it's a flight of fancy in a square basket
.....
I’m looking for the sequel too...

I think it's better to write in the second verse:

"dingue ding dong"

Dear Site Administrator,

First of all, I apologize if this email is not properly posted and if my approach is unnecessary.
Not having seen any response from Mr. Eric (evw1953), I fear that, since his request was made a long time ago, he might no longer be seeking an answer on your wonderful site.

Would you be so kind as to notify Mr. Eric, evw1953, by email that he finally has a small piece of a response?
I know this subject is trivial, but perhaps he wants to please someone who is dear to him.

With all my thanks.

Of course!!! At the beginning of the 20th century, like in 1917, before I went to the Great War, I already knew it; come on, seriously, we are not talking about lyrics and songs here!!!

www.commentcamarche.net is not a website for song lyrics! So I'm sorry dear Eric, but I have real people to help! People who have serious virus or system problems, not song issues! So sorry but see you later!
