Miss Maggie is a song by French singer-songwriter Renaud. In it, the singer criticizes men, whom he sees as petty and warlike, by contrasting them to women, whom he praises, with the ironic exception of Margaret Thatcher.
The first verse reads:
- Femme du monde ou bien putain
- Qui bien souvent êtes les mêmes
- Femme normale, star ou boudin,
- Femelles en tout genre je vous aime
- Même à la dernière des connes,
- Je veux dédier ces quelques vers
- Issus de mon dégoût des hommes
- Et de leur morale guerrière
- Car aucune femme sur la planète
- N' s'ra jamais plus con que son frère
- Ni plus fière, ni plus malhonnête
- A part peut-être Madame Thatcher
Translation:
- Worldly woman or whore
- Who often are one and the same
- Be you a normal woman, a star, or a fat chick
- Females of all types, I love you
- Even to the worst among you
- I dedicate these few verses
- That come from my disgust toward men
- And their warrior mentality
- For no woman on the planet
- Will ever be stupider than her brother
- Nor more prideful, nor mor dishonest
- Except perhaps Mrs. Thatcher
