Ça fait deux ans que je traîne
Que je peine, que je saigne
Dans cette prison
J'ai pas tiré sur la femme du libraire
J'étais juste la par hasard
{Refrain:}
T'as coulé au fond, Joe
T'es derrière les barreaux
T'as coulé au fond, Joe
On donne pas cher de ta peau
J'ai pas compris quand l'avocat m'a dit
"Mon p'tit ça va te coûter cher"
Moi j'voulais juste un bouquin à vingt balles
'la vengeance du tueur cannibale'
{au Refrain}
Devinez qui vient me voir samedi soir
Prendre un verre, le libraire
Avec sa nouvelle femme
Il dit qu'il est content de moi j'comprends pas
J'ai pas payé ce que je lui dois
{au Refrain}
On donne pas cher de ta peau.
