Tonton NestorVous eûtes tortJe vous le dis tout netVous avez misLa zizanieAux noces de Jeannett'Je vous l'avoueTonton,
vous vousComportâtes comme unMufle achevéRustre fiefféUn homme du communQuand la fiancéeLes yeux baissésDes larmes pleins les cilsS'apprêtait àDire "Oui da !"A l'officier civilQu'est-c'qui vous pritVieux malapprisD'aller,
sans retenueFaire un pinçonCruel en sonEminence charnueSe retournantIncontinentEll' souffleta,
flic-flacL'garçon d'honneurQui,
par bonheurAvait un' tête à claqu'Mais au lieu du"Oui"
attenduEll' s'écria : "Maman"Et l'mair' lui dit"Non,
mon petitCe n'est pas le moment"Quand la fiancéeLes yeux baissésD'une voix solennell'S'apprêtait àDire "Oui da !"Par-devant l'EternelVoila mechefQue,
derechefVous osâtes porterVotre fichuePatte crochueSur sa rotonditéSe retournantIncontinentElle moucha le nezD'un enfant d'chœurQui,
par bonheurEtait enchifrenéMais au lieu du"Oui"
attenduDe sa pauvre voix lass'Au tonsuréDésemparéElle a dit "Merde",
hélasQuoiqu'elle usâtQu'elle abusâtDu droit d'être fessueEn la pinçantMauvais plaisantVous nous avez déçusAussi,
ma foiLa prochain' foisQu'on mariera Jeannett'On s'pass'ra d'vousTonton,
je vousJe vous le dit tout net
