(La la la...)
Du temps qu'on allait encore aux baleines
Si loin qu' ça faisait, matelot, ouais, pleurer nos belles
Y avait sur chaque route un Jésus en croix
Y avait des marquis couverts de dentelles
Y avait la Sainte Vierge et y avait le Roi
(Y avait la Sainte Vierge et y avait le Roi)
Du temps qu'on allait (oh hisse !) encore aux baleines
Si loin qu' ça faisait (oh hisse !) matelot, ouais, pleurer nos belles
Y avait des marins qui avaient la foi
Et des grands seigneurs qui crachaient sur elle
Y avait la Sainte Vierge et y avait le Roi
(Y avait la Sainte Vierge et y avait le Roi)
Eh bien, à présent, tout le monde est content
C'est pas pour dire, matelot, mais... on est content
Y a plus d' grands seigneurs ni de Jésus qui tiennent
Y a la République et y a l' Président
Et y a plus d'baleines
La lai la la...
(La la la...)
