La Chine
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.
Moi, j'ai pas l'eau, pas le gaz, pas d'auto, je dors sur des cartons
C'est ça la cloche, un bon trou dans ta poche, une bouiffe et un litron
Dans les poubelles, ben, j'farfouille, quoi, je fouine
Moi, ma vie c'est la chine!
Un ours pelé oublié qui n'a plus qu'une oreille
Un parapluie qui s'ennuie à côté d'un réveil
Dis, tu m'vois pas boulonner en usine, moi, ma vie c'est la chine!
Moi, ce que tu jettes, j'le mets dans ma poussette, ça peut servir un jour
Lui, c'est le chien, un clébard qui vaut rien, voleur, ivrogne et sourd
Là, sur mon cœur, y'a écrit "Joséphine" mais ma vie c'est la chine!
Une pomme d'amour, un tambour, un melon sur une chaise
Une vieille poupée éclopée qui sourit dans les fraises
Eh! Garde ton pain pour saucer tes sardines, moi, ma vie c'est la chine!
