Lyrics to some songs that are popular on Mondays in Toronto:

Les Moutons

J’ai (9 à 10, 8 à 9, etc) moutons dans mon village en haut, j’ai 9 à 10 moutons dans mon village en bas x2
Dans mon village en haut, dans mon village en bas x2
Chain chan-tu, Madeline, Madeleine, chain chan-tu Madeline djus tu x2

Quand on bois
Il y a bien 10 (9, 8, etc) ans que je me mariais, quand on aime on aime, on a que de bonheur x2
Quand on boit on a le coeur en joie, quand on fait l’amour on a l’oeil ma mignonne, quand on bois, on a le coeur en bois, et le lendemain matin on a la gueule de bois x2
