Our Retired Explorer (Dines with Michel Foucault in Paris in 1969) |
| Just one more drink and then I should be on my way home |
| I’m not entirely sure what you’re talking about |
| I’ve had a really nice time, but my dogs need to be fed |
| I must say that in the right light, you look like Shackleton |
| Comment allez-vous ce soir? |
| Je suis comme ci comme ça |
| Yes, a penguin taught me French |
| Back in Antarctica |
| I could show you the way shadows colonize snow |
| Ice breaking up on the bay off the Lassiter coast |
| Light failing over the pole as every longitude leads |
| Up to your frostbitten feet, oh, you’re very sweet |
| Thank you for the flowers |
| And the book by Derrida |
| But I must be getting back |
| To dear Antarctica |
| Say, do you have a ship and a dozen able men |
| That maybe you could lend me? |
| Oh, Antarctica |
| Oh, Antarctica |
| Oh, Antarctica |
| Oh, Antarctica |
