As soon as I saw you * on the street corner
I said to myself that girl * she is made for me.
You seemed pretty good * and I invited you to the ball
to dance the tango * I'm smitten with you.
Refrain:
Oh my darling, my darling * oh my darling, my darling,
you're under my skin * and believe me, having you made me want to get up early.
Oh my darling, my darling * oh my darling, my darling,
you're under my skin * and believe me, having you made me want to get up early
From the very first steps, you were right there with me,
there were no problems, and I told you I loved you.
We grabbed a bite to eat at the snack bar on the other side of the road.
You worked early. I'm completely smitten with you.
Oh my darling, my darling * oh my darling, my darling,
I've got you under my skin * and believe me, you almost made me get up early
oh my darling, my darling * oh my darling, my darling,
I've got you under my skin * and believe me, you almost made me get up early
You worked at the factory * "Sardine concerts"
and I was a close friend * at a gas station,
we barely made a living * without holidays or going out,
we weren't very tanned * but we loved each other
Oh my darling, my darling * oh my darling, my darling,
I've got you under my skin * and believe me, you almost made me get up early
oh my darling, my darling * oh my darling, my darling,
I've got you under my skin * and believe me, you almost made me get up early
Everything fell apart * and when you lost your job
you couldn't take it anymore * and you committed suicide.
At your funeral * your parents were there.
Your sister came too * she's not bad looking either!
(Lucky break!!!)
Oh Minouche's sister, oh sister,
oh sister,
I've got you under my skin
and believe me, to have me you had to get up early,
oh Minouche's sister, oh sister, oh sister,
I've got you under my skin and believe me, to have me you had to get up early.

Thank you, Philippe, for your article about my creation at the MINOUCHE club. It means a lot to me. Your article has made my sketch a "cult classic" among the club's greatest performers. Thank you to my GO friends who participated in this wonderful adventure.
When you have the chance to see or see this sketch again, you'll think of COCO D'ACAPULCO.
This sketch is pure clowning art! It can't disappear! I'm even planning to perform it soon for a select audience! If performed with respect, this act is simply brilliant!
I created this sketch and I'm ready to do it again 🤓
Hello,
just to clarify that the third person in the photos was me, Fabrice Trigot, with Coco and Sergio, and not Jeff (whom I greet in passing).
Excellent memories of this great moment.
Kisses
As a former sound engineer, I always played this track; in fact, I'd like to know if it's possible to get a copy. Thank you
Let's go back to the origins of Minouche. At the time, I was running the research workshop in Paris. I discovered this 45 rpm record in a shop across from the club. The shopkeeper told me his friends had released the song, but they weren't too sure about it. I bought the record because I thought differently. I showed it to Fabrice and asked him to do something with it. He said, "I'll give it a try." And here's the result. I regret that this sketch has lost its essence over the seasons, like so many sketches, actually…
Hello Lamarie,
Fabrice has nothing to do with the music in this sketch. I met the group Les Tchouk Tchouk Nougat in the village. I loved their song and asked them for a copy (on cassette back then), which they agreed to.
Later, Jean Louis Dromas (village chief in Marbella) asked me to come up with a new sketch for the lip-synced horse racing show. I dug out the cassette, and in one afternoon, the legend was born. I should have submitted that sketch… oh well, too bad for me.
