Quand l' soir descend sur les faubourgs
Dans les bistrots des carrefours
De la chapelle à charenton
On joue de l'accordéon
Il est une valse en ce moment
Que réclament tous les clients
La faubourienne ! vas-y, toto,
Ça, c'est un chouette morceau
{refrain:}
C'est une valse qu'on entend
D'belleville à ménilmontant
Et de la place de la nation
A la porte brancion
Mais on n' la joue pas, c'est certain,
Dans le faubourg saint-germain
La faubourienne, c'est pas pour l'aristo
C'est la valse du populo
Quand les p'tits gars de nos faubourgs
Vont à brest ou à cherbourg
Pour être marins, c'est des lascars
Qui font la tournée des bars
A la patronne, ils crient bien haut
Mettez-nous sur votre phono
La faubourienne, c'est notre béguin,
Ça rappelle le patelin
{au refrain}
Au coin d' la rue, un p'tit tréteau
Monté sur quelques tonneaux,
Drapeaux, lampions, fleurs en papier,
C'est l' bal du quatorze juillet
Une clarinette et un piston,
Une grosse caisse et allez donc,
La faubourienne, avec ardeur,
Fait tourner les danseurs
{au refrain}
