The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
1. Il était un petit homme
A cheval sur un bâton
Qui s'en allait à la chasse
A la chasse aux hannetons.
{Refrain:}
Titontaine, titontaine,
Titontaine et titonton
2. Qui s'en allait à la chasse
A la chasse aux hannetons
Quand il fut sur la montagne
On tira un coup d'canon
3. Il en eut si peur tout d'même
Qu'il tomba sur ses talons
4. Toutes les dames du village
Lui portèrent des bonbons
5. Je vous remercie, Mesdames
De vous et de vos bonbons.
