Monsieur Claude

J'habite une ancienne maison close
Entre le canal, la Garonne
Et Monsieur Claude, qui nougaronne
Qui nougaronne intra-murs roses
Et pendant que d'autres voix posent
Leur prose dont je me tamponne
Sur des guitares Anglo-Saxonnes
Je regarde passer les aloses
Je regarde passer les aloses
Eclairs argentés qui saumonnent
Dans les chutes d'eau, sans que personne
N'y entende vraiment grand chose
J'habite une ancienne maison close
Entre le canal, la Garonne
Et Monsieur Claude, qui nougaronne
Qui nougaronne, intra-murs roses
L'eau du fleuve est parfois si rose
A l'heure où le ciel abandonne
Sa suite de bleus monotones
Qu'on en boirait jusqu'à cirrhose
Que l'on boirait jusqu'à cirrhose
Ses algues et ses vagues brouillonnes
Ses galets, son sable à la tonne
Que l'âme ou le cœur en explose
J'habite une ancienne maison close
Entre le canal, la Garonne
Et Monsieur Claude, qui nougaronne
Qui nougaronne, intra-murs roses
