Lyrics

Ah, si mon moine voulait danser
Un capuchon je lui donnerais

French refrain:
Danse mon moine danse
Tu n'entends pas la dance
Tu n'entends pas mon moulin lon la
Tu n'entends pas mon moulin marcher

If my old top were a dancing man
A cap to fit I would give him then

English refrain:
Dance old top, dance in
Oh, you don't care for dancing
Oh, you don't care for my mill la, la
Oh, you don't care how my mill runs on

Ah, si mon moine voulait danser
Un ceinturon je lui donnerais

French refrain

If my old top were a dancing man
A gown of serge I would give him then

English refrain

Ah, si mon moine voulait danser
Un beau psautier je lui donnerais

French refrain
If my old top were a dancing man
A psalter fine Iwould give him then

English refrain
French refrain

Oh! You don't care for my mill la la
Oh! You don't care how my mill runs on
Tu n'entends pas mon moulin lon la
Tu n'entends pas mon moulin marcher
