Pour chanter Veni CreatorIl faut une chasuble d'orPour chanter Veni CreatorIl faut une chasuble d'orNous en tissons pour vous,
grands de l'égliseEt nous pauvres canuts,
n'avons pas de chemiseC'est nous les canutsNous sommes tout nus !Pour gouverner,
il faut avoirManteaux ou rubans en sautoir.Pour gouverner,
il faut avoirManteaux ou rubans en sautoir.Nous en tissons pour vous grands de la terreEt nous,
pauvres canuts,
sans drap on nous enterreC'est nous les canutsNous sommes tout nus !Mais notre règne arriveraQuand votre règne finira :Mais notre règne arriveraQuand votre règne finira :Nous tisserons le linceul du vieux monde,Car on entend déjà la révolte qui grondeC'est nous les canutsNous n'irons plus nus !C'est nous les canutsNous n'irons plus nus !
