—with apologies to “Dominique” by the Singing Nun
Chorus:
Dominique, -nique, -nique
Il attaqua la femme de chambre
Quand il sortit en déshabille
De sa luxe salle de bain
Il scandalisa le Sofitel
Mais c’est la conduite usuelle
Mais c’est la conduite usuelle*
In the merry month of May
As our little tale will tell
Banker Dominique Strauss-Kahn
Came to New York’s Sofitel
Dominique, -nique, -nique
Il attaqua la femme de chambre
Quand il sortit en déshabille
De sa luxe salle de bain
Il scandalisa le Sofitel
Mais c’est la conduite usuelle
Mais c’est la conduite usuelle
Dominique he was a banker
Heading up the IMF
He’d loan money to the Third World
‘Til they hadn’t a thing left
Chorus
Dominique was on the short list
To be President of France
But his conduct at the Sofitel
Has made him lose his chance
Chorus
Though he has a wife and children
(It was widely known in France)
When he met women, Dominique
Couldn’t keep it in his pants
Chorus
The Sofitel maid came to his room
He attacked her in the nude
He must have thought she was a country
Like the ones that he had screwed
Chorus
Then he scampered for an airplane
‘Cause France doesn’t extradite
But they took him down to Rikers
And they made him stay the night
Chorus
Yes, this caviar Socialist
Thought from this crime he could coast
But he had to trade haute cuisine
For some creamed chipped beef on toast
Chorus
Now Dominique is out on bail
In a townhouse, living large
Trying to bribe the maid’s family
So that she’ll drop the charge
Chorus
What will happen at his trial
Only time and law can say
But Dominique may soon be headed
For a lengthy prison stay
Chorus
Yes, Dominique may find out
What it costs to scratch an itch
And that if you assault women
You’ll become a prison bitch
Chorus
*Translation:
Dominique, -nique, -nique
He attacked the chambermaid
When he emerged undressed
From his luxurious bathroom
He scandalized the Sofitel
But it was his usual behavior
But it was his usual behavior
