Lyrics
(The lyrics in French are included with the video. A translation into
English follows.)
Who is the man who has made this fantastic meal?
The Chef
Who is the woman who has made this magnificent dish?
The Chef
Who are those that have given us joy?
Who has made this grand meal?
Where are these heros, bring them to the stage.
Ladies, Gentlemen
The Chef!
-- interlude --
Who is the master of fire and knife?
The Chef
Who is the professor of measure and pleasure?
The Chef
Who is this magician who knows all food
Who is the sage who has seen the divine
Who is the conjurer of the extraordinary
Ladies, Gentlemen
Le Chef!
Notes
Grace a mes french profs: Heather, Herminia & Florence.
Parce que, je connaissais un homme qui connaissait un homme qui connaissait Escoffier
In the video, the singer is a server, not a chef.
