Parc'que j'aimais la fille du bougnatQu'avait d'beaux yeux,
d'beaux seins et les pieds plats...J'ai tout perdu,
triste fortune.J'ai pleuré d'amour,De faubourg en faubourg.J'ai pleuré d'amour au clair de lune...Tout seul j'log' dans un quartier perduAu fond d'un' petit' rue.J'habite un hôtel borgne,
si borgne,
si borgneQue je frémis lorsque,
le soir,Je vois son œil qui luit dans l'noir.Quand le patron me lorgne,
me lorgne,
me lorgne,J'ai mal au ventre subit'ment.Je pass' ma clef et je îous l'camp.Coupe-gorge,
assassinat,Le crime rôde,
rôde,
rôde,Couleur local' pour cinéma.Tard dans la nuit,
armé d'un grand poignard,On voit passer Bébert,
l'ancien bagnard...Il cherche sa brune AndalouseQu'a donné son cœurAu fils du percepteur.Elle l'a dans la peau,
la jalouse...Mais Bébert les surprend et les tueAu fond d'un' petit' rue.J'habite un hôtel borgne,
si borgne,
si borgne.Maint'nant j'ne fais plus qu'un repasMais j'peux cracher à trent'cinq pas.Quand le patron me lorgne,
me lorgne,
me lorgne,Je lui demand' : "Comment qu'ça va ?"J'pos' mon chapeau et je rest' là.Le samedi,
l'accordéon,En ritournelle,
chante,
chante :Quand on s'aime,
c'est pour de bon...
