Les mariniersMe voient vieillirJe vois vieillirLes mariniersOn joue
au jeuDes imbécilesOù l'immobileEst le plus vieuxDans mon
métierMême en étéFaut voyagerLes yeux fermés.Ce n'est pas
rien d'être éclusierLes mariniersSavent ma trogneIls me plaisantentEt
ils ont tortMoitié sorcierMoitié ivrogneJe jette un sortÀ
tout c'qui chanteDans mon métierC'est en automneQu'on cueille
les pommesEt les noyésCe n'est pas rien d'être
éclusierDans son panierUn enfant louchePour voir la moucheQui
est sur son nezMaman ronronneLe temps soupireLe chou
transpireLe feu ronchonneDans mon métierC'est en hiverQu'on pense
au pèreQui s'est noyéCe n'est pas rien d'être
éclusierVers le printempsLes marinièresM'font des manièresDe leur chalandJ'aimerais
leur jeuSans cette guerreQui m'a un peuTrop abiméDans
mon métierC'est au printempsQu'on prend le tempsDe se
noyer
