Langue D'amour Lyrics - Laurie Anderson

Let's see, uh, it was on an island 

And there was this snake 

And the snake had legs 

And he could walk all around the island 

Yes, that's true, a snake with legs 

And the man and the woman were on the island too 

And they were not very smart 

But they were happy as clams, yes 

Let's see, uh then one evening 

The snake was walking about in the garden 

And he was talking to himself 

And he saw the woman, and they started to talk 

And they became friends, very good friends 

And the woman liked the snake very much 

Because when he talked, he made little noises with his tongue 

And his long tongue was lightly licking about his lips 

Like there was a fire inside his mouth 

And the flame would come dancing out of his mouth 

And this woman liked this very much 

And after that, she was bored with the man 

Because no matter what happened 

He was always as happy as a clam 

What did the snake say? Yes! What was he saying? 

Okay, I will tell you 

The snake told her things about the world 

He told her about the time 

When there was a big typhoon on the island 

And all the sharks came out of the water, yes 

They came out of the water 

And they walked right into your house 

With their big white teeth 

And the woman heard these things and she was in love 

And the man came out and said, "We have to go now" 

And the woman did not want to go 

Because she was a hothead 

Because she was a woman in love 

Anyway, we got into their boat and left the island 

But they never stayed anywhere very long 

Because the woman was restless, she was a hothead 

She was a woman in love 

And this is not a story people tell 

It is something I know myself 

And when I do my job, I am thinking about these things 

Because when I do my job, that is what I think about 

Ooo, la la la 

Voici voila' 

Ooo, la la la 

Voici le langage de l'amour 

Ooo, la la la 

La la la 

Voici voila', la la 

Voici le langage de l'amour 

Ah! Comme ci, comme ca 

Voila voila 

Voici le langage de l'amour 

Voici le langage de l'amour 

Attends! Attends! Attends! 

Attends! Attends! Attends! 

Ecoute! Ecoute! Ecoute! 

Ooo, la la la la 

Ooo, la la la la 

Voici le langage de l'amour 

Voici le langage dans mon coeur 

Ooo, la la 

Voici le langage de l'amour 

Voici le langage dans mon coeur 

Voici le langage dans mon coeur 

Voici le langage dans mon coeur
