Genticorum - Les Cousinages

On my wedding night, guess what I remember? Someone knocked on my door.  My wife said it was her cousin. 

Pretty one, set the table with the best wine, and make him a bed near mine.

But around midnight, my wife jumped out of bed and slept in the arms of her dear cousin.  [She slept, he slept, in the arms of their dear cousin.]

When you have a pretty wife, all the men are her cousins.

Transcription and translation mine.  If anyone who knows French wants to pick it apart, this is what I got from the singing, minus the repeated lines and nonsense refrains (I'd put it under a readmore, but apparently I can't do that when it's not a text post.)

Le premier soir de mes noces Devinez ce que je me souvient On vient frapper dans ma porte Ma femme a dit que c’est son cousin A propos de cousinage Bonne mine je lui pris Je lui pris mettre la table Du meilleur de notre vin Je lui pris mettre coucher En lit tout aupres du mien Mais rendu vers le minuit Ma femme se jete en bord du lit Elle se dormait, se dort-il Dans les bras de son cher cousin Quand on a du jolie femme Toutes les hommes sont leur cousins Jusqu’au [. . .something I can't make out] Ma femme a dit que ses son cousin

I wish I could find the studio version of this online. Maybe I should actually get around to buying music again.
