Pauvre blanc

Comme une vieille Anglaise visitant les Indes
Un touriste perdu à Saint-Domingue
Mes amours exotiques
M'ont rendu famélique
Toujours en mal d'amour
J'ai bu jour après jour
Mon billet de retour
J'attends sur le port qu'un bateau m'enlève
Une cabine en première pour que la grève
Éloigne de mes yeux
Mes amours malheureux
{Refrain:}
Avant que je ne glisse
Que je m'anéantisse
Ma passion métisse
Et mon costume blanc
N'est plus très blanc
Il est taché d'alcool
Il est taché de sang
Et tous les enfants
Me suivent en se moquant
En me criant
"Eh ! Pauvre blanc"
Tous les soirs, je vais dans la même ruelle
La rue des paradis artificiels
Je vais revoir Paris
Et la Porte de Clichy
{au Refrain}
"Eh ! Pauvre blanc !" {x3}
