When I was just a little boy,
My mother asked me, "What will you eat?
Do you want pizza? Do you want poi?"
Always, I would repeat ..

"Donnez-moi poutine!
I want it or I'll get mean!
The best food I've ever seen!
Donnez-moi poutine!"

As through the years I grew and grew,
Through adolescence, into teen age ...
My mother urged me, "Try something new!"
I'd fly into a rage!

"Donnez-moi poutine!
The fav'rite of ev'ry teen!"
At Mom I would vent my spleen,
"Donnez-moi poutine!"

Now I am older than before;
My doctor tells me, "You're getting fat!
You should eat healthy, exercise more!"
Here's what I say to that:

"Donnez-moi poutine!
Who cares if I'm not so lean?
Addictive as nicotine!
Donnez-moi poutine!"
