Puis il revint comme il était parti :Bon pied,
bon œil,
personne d'averti.Aux dents,
toujours la vive marguerite,Aux yeux,
toujours la flamme qui crépite.Mit sur ta lèvre,
Aline,
un long baiserMit sur la table un peu d'or étrangerChanta,
chanta deux chansons de marineS'alla dormir dans la chambre enfantine.Puis il revint comme il était parti :Bon pied,
bon œil,
personne d'averti.Aux dents,
toujours la vive marguerite,Aux yeux,
toujours la flamme qui crépite.Rêva tout haut d'écume et de cavale,S'entortilla dans d'étranges rafales.Puis au réveil,
quand l'aube se devine,Chanta,
chanta deux chansons de marine.Puis il revint comme il était parti :Bon pied,
bon œil,
personne d'averti.Aux dents,
toujours la vive marguerite,Aux yeux,
toujours la flamme qui crépite.Fit au pays son adieu saugrenuEt s'en alla comme il était venu.Fit au pays son adieu saugrenuEt s'en alla comme il était venu.
