Je voudrais être blanche
Pour moi quel bonheur
Si mes seins et mes hanches
Changent de couleur
Les Parisiens à Juan-les-Pins
Se faisaient droit
Au soleil d'exposer
Leur amour un peu noir
Moi pour être blanche
J'allais me roulant
Parmi les avalanches
En haut du Mont Blanc
Ce stratagème
Donne un petit rigole
J'avais l'air dans la crème
D'un petit pruneau
Étant petite avec chagrin
J'admirais dans les magasins
La teinte pâle de poupées blanches
J'aurais voulu leur ressembler
Et je disais à l'air accablé
Me croyant toute seule brune au monde
Au soleil c'est par l'extérieur
Que l'on se dore
Moi c'est la flamme de mon cœur
Qui me colore
Faut-il que je sois blanche
Pour vous plaire mieux
