The man with the French-white ladder

Seems not to know where he is

All over the town, he drives all around

Climbing rooftops that are not his

The man with the French-white ladder

Drives a leaf-green car

With the ladder up top, he may come to your shop

When you’re home or away at the bar

The man with the French-white ladder

Dresses himself all in black

He’ll collect all your things in the bag that he brings

And then tote them all back to his shack

The man with the French-white ladder

In his car that is colored like leaves

Is the nicest and truly most charming

Of professional village thieves
