« Je pense queue
< QUEUE
J’adore les cadors
Les petites chiennes en calors

J’les prends les petites bêbêtes
Teckel chow-chow ou en levrette
Clébardes en collier
Bâtardes sans pedigree
Et j’finis toujours par leur donner
Mon nonos nonosse à moelle à manger ronger

Je pense queue

OK SG »

This text, famous as much for its brevity as for its provocative tone, is one of the five songs from the soundtrack of the film Je vous aime, directed by Claude Berri in 1980. The cast includes Catherine Deneuve, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Gérard Depardieu, as well as Serge Gainsbourg, in the role of Simon, a young promising musician who deserves recognition for his provocative and unconventional style. In the film, he performs Je Pense Queue.

The present manuscript was corrected and signed by Gainsbourg for his anthology Mon propre rôle, published by Denoël.
