  • Great tune. I'm trying to catch the lyrics (I think the first line is "Mademoiselle voulez-vous dancer ...?" But I can't get the rest of it). You guys are great.

  • Thanks for the comment!

    We often play for dancers. The words we sing are:

    "Mademoiselle voulez-vous dancer

    Mademoiselle voulez-vous dancer

    La Bastringue, voulez-vous dancer."

    La Bastringue is both the name of a particular dance, and the second tune in our medley in which we sing it.

    Also great music.
