about

Willy breathed his last when Pretty Polly used his own knife against him back in "Moeurs Légères". But for some reason he just wouldn't leave us alone...

lyrics

-- What you doing, Willy?
-- J'ai été pris par la forêt
-- What you saying, Willy?
-- Oh je parle français
-- Who'd you talk to, Willy?
-- Oh je parlais aux arbres
-- What'd they tell you, Willy,
Oh, what did they say?

-- Ils ont dit qu'il fallait du sang, Pretty Polly
Et qu'il fallait bien m'enterrer
-- Oh you know that it's been oh so long, Pretty Willy
I'd nearly forgotten that day

-- Ils savaient que je voulais ta mort, Pretty Polly
-- Oh but you were so handsome that day
-- Tu sais que tu m'as fait du tort,Pretty Polly
-- There really was no other way

Polly and Willy and the Devil makes three
Where does that leave you and me?
Polly makes one and the others make two
I know where I'm going so what about you?

-- Where you going, Willy?
-- Je dois retourner en enfer
-- Why you going, Willy?
-- J'ai du temps limité
-- Who's that calling, Willy?
-- Ca doit être le Diable
-- Why's he want you, Willy?
-- On a des grands projets

Ils ont dit qu'il fallait du sang, Pretty Polly
Ils ont dit qu'ils vont tout cramer
Ils vont pisser dans toute l'océan, Pretty Polly
Ils vont couper la dernière forêt

Pour ton projet d'usine à charbon, Pretty Willy
-- Il n'y a que Polly qui résiste
La forêt sera mienne pour de bon si elle meurt
-- And poor Willy had never been kissed
