Je bricolais
Du soir au matin
Du matin au toit
Du toit au jardin
Je bricolais
De tous mes dix doigts Je bricolais
Mais je ne chantais pas
Je bricolais
Des caves aux greniers
Des greniers aux cages
Aux cages d'escaliers
Je bricolais
Depuis que j'étais né
Je bricolais
Mais je ne chantais pas
Un clou par ici
Un clou par là
Un clou pour ceci
Un clou pour cela.
Un petit coup de ciseau
Un petit bout de bois
Un petit coup de marteau
Et pan sur les doigts
Ah!
Je bricolais
Du soir au matin
Du matin au toit
Du toit au jardin
Je bricolais
De tous mes dix doigts
Je bricolais
Mais je ne chantais pas.
