I have just been arrested for murder

As a mad primate was found hanging

From a embattled and fading tree

The cops were puzzled regarding my motive

As I referred to the incident as an accident

And then the beautiful Yvonne entered my cell

I confessed using one million words

My confession was very sparse

Its title if you are still interested at this late hour

Le Combat de Cyrano de Bergerac avec le singe de Brioché, au bout du Pont-Neuf 

He was sentenced to death by a host of deaf sparrows

In the closed courts of the blind

As I was born in the city of Avignon

And as per the rule of law

This was the location of my execution

To be hung from fifth arch of Pont Saint- Benezet

I later found myself in the Rhone Mud

With Yvonne of the Stars

It was as we were planning our freedom

That we were betrayed

By a dying boatman

It is supposed that we both drowned

In one of the great rivers of the sun

But we were helped by a nun

Who hid us in a small chapel

Where we remain to this day
