Disney Chorus
“Les Poissons” is about Chef Louie talking about how he loves to cook fish from the 1989 animated Disney film “The Little Mermaid”. The whole song is an energetic English-French bop.

Les poissons
Les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop
And to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads
Then I pull out the bones
Ah mais oui
Ca c'est toujours delish
Les poissons
Les poissons
Hee hee hee
Hah hah hah
With the cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes
Don't you?
Here's something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet
Then you slash through the skin
Give the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
Cause that makes it taste nice
"Zut alors, I have missed one!"
Sacre bleu
What is this?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent crab?
Quel dommage
What a loss
Here we go in the sauce
Now some flour, I think
Just a dab
Now I stuff you with bread
It don't hurt 'cause you're dead
And you're certainly lucky you are
Cos it's gonna be hot
In my big silver pot
Toodle-loo, mon poisson
Au revoir!
