The OFFICIAL Countdown To Lockn 2017 Thread

To nudge a previous discussion, he wrote this at 17, but stole? borrowed? was inspired by? paid tribute to? a French folk song. Here are the translated lyrics:

Ah! Let me tell you, Mother,
What's the cause of my torment?
Papa wants me to reason
Like a grown-up.
Me, I say that candy has
Greater value than reason.

Those who read sheet music know the melody; everyone would recognize the familiar tune with different English lyrics. I won't spill the beans; my mind is on the dark star instead (DSO tonight).
