1426 - Serge surge

It’s been a Serge Gainsbourg weekend for me
I watched the new film about the great man
A very talented man, though silly
As well, sans doute, tu sais. Sea, sex and sand
I love you (me neither), Brigitte et Jane
Soixante-neuf (anné e é rotique); Gré co
Chante avec il La Javanaise; Panpan
Cucul, Aux Armes Etceté ra, and slow
Decline, mainly through bad health, doncha know
Through the seventies and eighties
From jazz to pop to rock to Jamaican
To less successful funk, dance and disco
But no let-up in booze, fags and girlies
Despite heart attacks and cancer. Rock on!
