Writing and composition

The song was written by Albert Willemetz (who penned the lyrics for such songs as Maurice Chevalier's "Valentine" and Mistinguett's "C'est vrai")[4] and Charles-Louis Pothier[1] and composed by Casimir Oberfeld.[5]

The song is based on appreciation of the adverb "aussi" ("too"):[1]

Il faisait un temps superbe
Je me suis assis sur l'herbe
Félicie aussi
J'pensais les arbres bourgeonnent
Et les gueules-de-loup boutonnent
Félicie aussi[1]

The weather was superb
I sat on the grass
So did Félicie
I thought, Trees are budding

And snapdragons are budding
So is Félicie

gollark: You can prove that "in some physics model, energy is conserved"; you can't *prove* "this is the physical model the universe obeys", only show it's really really unlikely that it does anything else in the situations you test.
gollark: Yes. Our models and physical theories are derived from reality. We do not create reality with our models.
gollark: Current physical evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of it being globey. That doesn't mean that we have *proven* it must be a globe.
gollark: ... no, it's shown that *in our physical models*, this is the case, and I think in some cases they just start from that as an assumption.
gollark: It *cannot be proven* that this holds in all situations ever, because this is a statement about reality and not our models.
