Honest, but hedging his bets


Hello Père Noël,
I don't believe in you but I want some spy games but I have a song for you: Papa and Maman it's Noël, it's Noël...

And then something about a baby that may or may not be thrown into the street... ("on veut des bébé les j'en n'ai eu ben jette les dans la rue"??)

The spirit of Christmas takes many forms...

I can shed a light on the baby thing - I think he meant "bébelles" (things). The song goes: Père Noel, Père Noêl apporte des bébelles. J'en ai eu j'en veux pu (and then there are many variations - ask McPie for the fun ones...)

Ah ha! I had a feeling you'd be able to help out with this one! (See my next post on me and the French.)
