the older they get...

Obscure post, but

 

 

In the song "Les Bourgeois" by Jacques Brel, he sings

 

"Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient bête
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus ça devient vieux plus ça devient..."

 

(The Bourgeois, they're like pigs

the older they get, the stupider they get.

The bourgeois are like pigs

The older they get, they become ...."

 

and he trails off. In a live recording I've heard of this song, the French-speaking audience laugh raucously at this last line, and in my correspondence unit we were only told that the line had rude inferences. What are they?! I can't work it out. Is there anyone out there who knows what this line is referring to?
