Trio of Triolets

All those period dramas on that PBS show
all those cousins and aunts (one bad niece)

Is the footman to blame? Does the Governess know?
All those period dramas on that PBS show
The rich dress for dinner the poor knead their dough
hey, that one looks just like John Cleese

All those period dramas on that PBS show

all those cousins and aunts (one bad niece)

Bonjour and welcome to the Tour de France

Where they pedal (are you kidding?) three weeks!

All there for the chance (excepting for Lance)

Bonjour and welcome to the Tour de France
By kilometer ninety I’m in a Alpe d’Huez trance

Bonjour and welcome to the Tour de France

Where they pedal (are you kidding?) three weeks!

I lie beside you every night

thinking 'funny how love can abide'

For as we slumber might makes right

I lie beside you every night

 and grow chilly while you're warm and tight

Cause you pull all the covers over on to your side

I lie beside you every night

thinking 'funny how love can abide'
