Dans un coin pourriDu pauvre Paris,Sur un' place,L'est un vieux bistrotTenu pas un grosDégueulasse.Si t'as le bec fin,S'il te faut du vinD' premièr' classe,Va boire à Passy,Le nectar d'iciTe dépasse.Mais si t'as l' gosierQu'une armur' d'acierMatelasse,Goûte à ce velours,Ce petit bleu lourdDe menaces.Tu trouveras làLa fin' fleur de laPopulace,Tous les marmiteux,Les calamiteux,De la place.Qui viennent en rang,Comme les harengs,Voir en faceLa bell' du bistrot,La femme à ce grosDégueulasse.Que je boive à fondL'eau de tout's les fon-tain's Wallace,Si,

dès aujourd'hui,Tu n'es pas séduitPar la grâce.De cett' joli' fé'Qui,

d'un bouge,

a faitUn palace.Avec ses appas,Du haut jusqu'en bas,Bien en place.Ces trésors exquis,Qui les embrass',

quiLes enlace ?Vraiment,

c'en est trop !Tout ça pour ce grosDégueulasse !C'est injuste et fou,Mais que voulez-vousQu'on y fasse ?L'amour se fait vieux,Il a plus les yeuxBien en face.Si tu fais ta cour,Tâch' que tes discoursNe l'agacent.Sois poli,

mon gars,Pas de geste ou ga-re à la casse.Car sa main qui claqu',Punit d'un flic-flacLes audaces.Certes,

il n'est pas néQui mettra le nezDans sa tasse.Pas né,

le chanceuxQui dégèl'ra ceBloc de glace.Qui fera dans l' dosLes corne' à ce grosDégueulasse.Dans un coin pourriDu pauvre Paris,Sur un' place,Une espèc' de fé',D'un vieux bouge,

a faitUn palace.
