Une manie de vieux garçon
Moi j'ai pris l'habitude
D'agrémenter ma sollitude
Aux accents de cette chanson
{Refrain:}
Quand je pense à Fernande
Je bande, je bande
Quand j' pense à Felicie
Je bande aussi
quand j' pense à Léonor
Mon dieu je bande encore
Mais quand j' pense à Lulu
Là je ne bande plus
La bandaison papa
Ça n' se commande pas.
C'est cette mâle ritournelle
Cette antienne virile
Qui retentit dans la guérite
De la vaillante sentinelle.
Afin de tromper son cafard
De voir la vie moins terne
Tout en veillant sur sa lanterne
Chante ainsi le gardien de phare
Après la prière du soir
Comme il est un peu triste
Chante ainsi le séminariste
A genoux sur son reposoire.
A l'Etoile où j'était venu
Pour ranimer la flamme
J'entendis émus jusqu'au larmes
La voix du soldat inconnu.
Et je vais mettre un point final
A ce chant salutaire
En suggérant au solitaire
D'en faire un hymme national
