Shave yourself she don't like men
At the bottom of the page, SG draws a musical staff, titled " Shave yourself "
It is worth noting this title Hey man amen, here underlined and marked with three stars by Gainsbourg who performed this unreleased song at the Zénith in 1988.
Composed for his son Lulu, the song evokes his impending death (" When I'm cold / I'll leave my little Luli / Medlars and my abattoirs / It's up to you to sort it out / Poor Lulu / You've lost me / Don't worry, I'm off to paradise").
