Have a bit of French, you xenophobic heathens. Charles Trenet - Le Jardin Extaordinaire.

Charles Trenet - Le Jardin Extraordinaire (Live 1967) - YouTube

...but please note that the ducks speak English!
" C'est un jardin extraordinaire:
Il y a des canards qui parlent anglais.
Je leur donne du pain, ils remuent leur derrière
En me disant "Thank you very much, Monsieur Trenet".

In the French garden that I'll now never have, I would have grown a mixed orchard, including...

" Sweet sweet sweet sweet bulbs grow in m’ latest garden
Warm warm warm warm warm sun fingers wave
In m’ latest garden
Flowers dance their faces brave
Come talk freely in the garden of m’ lady"
Captain Beefheart - Sweet sweet bulbs

Maybe I'd better pack in while I'm losing....
