Model for G9FThe idea came to me when I heard this song by Marcel Amont, "Sa Casquette" (His Peaked Cap).

He was a kid with a charming heart
They called him the orphan
Far too serious for his ten years
He never played marbles
And he stood out from the others
By the cap he wore

His cap tilted a little to one side
You'd see him walking around
It made his head look funny, that cap
His friends in every neighborhood
Would shout at him when they saw him go by, "Do you sleep with your cap on at night?"
When guys with bad looks
Get a little too close
You should have seen how he defended his cap

Just like another, he turned twenty
He fell in love with a young girl
They made a charming couple
But he hadn't counted on the family
To the girl, the father said, "No!
You won't marry that boy
I don't want in my house
That barefoot, that rascal,
With his cap tilted on his head!" No matter how good a lad you are,
The bourgeoisie have their opinions.
There's no honest guy in a cap.
That night, they said goodbye,
With heavy hearts and tears in their eyes.

But he kept his cap on his head.

Life isn't all sorrow.
And that's why one fine morning,
A girl told him, "I've got a crush on your cap!"
Since that girl didn't care at all whether he was from Passy or Pantin,
He chatted with her for a bit.
When he saw he'd found,
The girl you can't let get away,
To kiss her, he took off his cap.
