How cool. A million years ago the version I learnt was All the girls in France Do the Hoola Hoola dance And the way they shake is enough to kill a snake When the snake is dead They put roses in his head When the roses die They put diamonds in his heart When the diamonds break It is 1968 This I learnt on New Year's eve, a few hours before 1968. It was a warm up to midnight chant. I was 4 years old, and we used it on New Year's for many years following, just changing the year. Just found this. How cool. A million years ago the
version I learnt was

All the girls in France
Do the Hoola Hoola dance
And the way they shake
is enough to kill a snake
When the snake is dead
They put roses in his head
When the roses die
They put diamonds in his heart
When the diamonds break
It is 1968

I stumbled across this by chance and I am amazed that no one put the version that I always thought was "correct" as far as I see: Oh they don't wear pants On the other side of France But the men wear skirts Just to cover where it hurts The "other side of France" I figured was North Africa, where they wear or used to wear jalabiyyas.

At least the version I remember. I've been walking around for a couple weeks now singing the first line but I couldn't remember the second line. My girlfriend wants to kill me. All I have to say now is "France, pants" and she gets all edgy.
