Pauvre Nicolas s'en allait à l'écoleQuant il avait fini de boire son bolDe chocolat,
pauv'NicolasEn passant par l'avenue CasanovaAvec son cartable et son écharpe en soieParlait tout bas,
pauv'Nicolas.C'est pas ma faute à moiSi c'est comme ça.{Refrain:}Il était encore perdu dans ses rêvesEt les autres élèvesPensaient qu'il venait du pays des fousDes mots de velours coulaient de ses lèvresEn torrent d'amour flou.Il voulait construire un monde sans soldatEt décorer tous les déserts de lilasEt de vermeilles,
pauv'Nicolas.Il pensait qu'il fallait se mettre d'accordPour qu'un matin le soleil se lève au nordDe ses merveilles pauv'Nicolas.Il ne comprenait pas pourquoiLes gens le montraient du doigtC'est pas ma faute à moiSi c'est comme ça.{Refrain}
