Depuis des mois, j'apprends l'anglais
Car les chansons, chansons en français, ma chère
N'ont plus l'honneur, l'honneur, l'honneur de vous plaire
Alors, j' vais écrire en anglais
Mon cher, mon bon, mon vieux français
Te v'là réduit, réduit en langue morte
L'anglais soufflant, soufflant dessous la porte,
Mon vieux françois, t'a emporté
Et au train où les choses vont
Quand Edgar Poe, -gar Poe reviendra sur Terre
Il nous tradui- traduira Baudelaire
Oyez les choses comme elles vont
Et toi, mon vieux François Villon
Sûr que tu dois te retourner dans ta tombe
En constatant -statant pareille hécatombe
Sûr qu' t'es pas fier de tes rejetons
Et nos bons amis les Anglais
Qui voulaient tant, mais tant de grandes victoires
Sur ces Français avides, avides de gloire
Et ben, cette fois, ils l'auront
Car le temps n'est pas loin du tout
Où le plus têtu d'entre nous
Devra bien troquer ses Je t'aime
Pour des I love you
