Au Tripot (To the Gambling Den)
Editor’s Note: Regularly heard in bars and gambling parlors throughout southern Belgium since the introduction of soccer to Europe in the mid-19th-century, the drinking song Au Tripot celebrates the Walloon penchant for betting on sports games, drinking too much, and ending up in the gutter. In 1939, the American songwriters George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley borrowed the melody from Au Tripot for their novelty hit, I’m a Little Teapot.
J’aime aller au tripot
Pour le foot.
Voici mon pari.
Ouiah, juste une goutte!
Après l’avoir tout bu…
Alors! Zut!
Ivre de mon cul et dans la goutt’e!
