The Dirty Lyrics: I woke up this morning
with a feeling of despair I looked for my pussy but my pussy wasn't there I got out a ladder and I climbed down to my pet I saw in a jiffy that my puss was soakin' wet There never was a pussy that could quite compare with her Pretty as a picture with her long and silky fur Why They're Dirty: Come on...if you can't find the double meaning you're in need of a hearing aid.

"Chanson d'amour"
The Lyrics: Chanson d'amour, ra da da da da, play encore.
Here in my heart, ra da da da da, more and more. Chanson d'amour, ra da da da da, je t'adore. Each time I hear, ra da da da da, Chanson, chanson, d'amour. Why: "Chanson d'amour" is French for "love song" (literally "song of love"), and "je t'adore" is French for "I love thee".
