If you would like to hear the music in the background,

copy Unpdhr-3d20 into the searchbox of youtube and you'll find it.

The song itself starts at 0:23, in case you're the impatient type :-)

Let's hope youtube will give us less trouble with this one than it did with the latest one...
(which now has subtitles with the filk's lyrics added by the way!
I'm getting really computer savvy thanks to these filks! :-D)

LE CHEF DU STALAG 13

.

I'm le chef du Stalag Treize
Envoy de la belle France
Cooking dinner for the Boches here
Is my pièce de résistance
I would rather serve them dogfood
While it suits their kind so well
If it wasn't for the scheming
Of my boss: mon Colonel

Just the other day
Had the Colonel say
There's a Kraut here with top secret plans
I want you to cook
So we'll sneak a look
While he drivels and drools over food from your pans
So I made ragoût
And soupe au pistou
Escalope à la Paix de l'Ouest
And then what did he say
Once he finished each tray?
"Sauerkraut is the best!"

I'm le chef du Stalag Treize
Envoy de la belle France
Making Strudel for the guards here
Is my pièce de résistance
Schultz especially is susceptible
To bribery with treats
I'm his maître d'Apfelstrudel
He sees nothing when he eats

In the barracks, too
That is what I do
Making sure everyone is well fed
Clapassade and then
Hearty quiche lorraine
Coq au vin, pieds paquets et pâté d'alouette
Une belle tête de veau
Choux et escargots
With a glass of Lafite '35
But then Newkirk goes wrong
When he says, "How I long
For my Mum's shepherd's pie..."

He's our chef at Stalag Treize
Envoy de la belle France
Cooking dinner for his friends here
Is his pièce de résistance
Chicken soup à la grandmère
He'll make us when we have a cough
Crêpes Suzette will be for dinner
Once our Hermann lays an oeuf

I'm le chef du Stalag Treize
Envoy de la belle France
Cooking dinner for barbarians
Is my pièce de résistance
Every now and then I'm tempted
To just let them cook themselves
But I suffer through the insults
For my boss: mon Colonel!
