Let's Cut, Let's Eat, Let's Eat the Galette

Coupons, mangeons
Mangeons la galette
Coupons, mangeons
Et recommençons.
Let's cut, let's eat,
Let's eat the galette*,
Let's cut, let's eat,
and let's do it again.
Notes
*The "galette" is the flat, round cake made with puff pastry and filled with a mixture of ground almonds, sugar, butter and egg yolks that French people eat on Three Kings' Day (January 6th). A little trinket (the "fève") is hidden inside and whoever finds it in his piece of cake is the "King" for the day.
