Si tu t' retournes dans ta tombe,T'entends la monnaie qui tombe.Mon pauvre Henri,
mon vieil Alfred,Mon pauvre Henri,
mon Fred,Où tu pêchais les perles de nacreOn trouve des vieux clopes,Des pneus Dunlop.Y'en a qui font la Mer Rouge en stop.Au fond des volcans,
plus de lave.Au fond des barques,
plus d'esclaves.Où tu pêchais les perles rosesDu soir au matin,
y a les jets qui s' posentAu milieu des massifs qu'on arrose.Mon pauvre Henri,
mon vieil Alfred,Mon pauvre Henri,
mon Fred,Au fond de l'eau,
y a plus rien qui bouge.Mon pauvre Henri,
mon vieil Alfred,Mon pauvre Henri,
mon Fred,Où sont les secrets de la Mer Rouge ?Où sont les secrets de la Mer Rouge ?Mon pauvre Henri,
mon vieil Alfred,Mon pauvre Henri,
mon Fred,Où tu pêchais les perles rares,Des ploucs installentLeur planche à voilePour faire un pique-nique sous les étoiles.Moi-même,
un jour,
j'ai vouluTout vérifier,
j'ai tout vu,J'ai tout lu,ParcouruL'étendue.J'ai rien reconnu.Mon pauvre Henri,
mon vieil Alfred,Mon pauvre Henri,
mon Fred,Où tu pêchais les perles de nacre,Juste à la même placeY a un palaceOn t' sert ton whisky sur de la glace.Mon pauvre Henri,
mon vieil Alfred,Mon pauvre Henri,
mon Fred,Au fond de l'eau,
y a plus rien qui bouge.Mon pauvre Henri,
mon vieil Alfred,Mon pauvre Henri,
mon Fred,Où sont les secrets de la Mer Rouge ?Où sont les secrets de la Mer Rouge ?Si tu t' retournes dans ta tombe,T'entends la monnaie qui tombe.
