Track bySerge Gainsbourg
Listen to the organ that I play for you Since you got no choice Hear me through You look as if you like it, but you seem reserved It's my requiem for a jerk I wrote it in the bath On my breakfast tray Cut my appetite for the day I tried to raise a toast Ate the second verse Buttered requiem, for a jerk It's afternoon for mourners But the tears don't come Got what you deserve, the maximum I'm getting sentimental But it's too much work What's a requiem to a jerk Well the Devil left a message "Go try paradise Hell's a lot too hot Not too nice Try to take in God if you've got the nerve Even I don't need stupid jerks" Listen to the organ that I play for you Since you got no choice Hear me through You look as if you like it In your wooden shirt It's my requiem for a jerk I wrote it in the bath On my breakfast tray Cut my appetite, for the day On your white washed face Blue steel prison wall I'll write stupid jerk, that's all
