Armstrong, je ne suis pas noir
Je suis blanc de peau
Quand on veut chanter l'espoir
Quel manque de pot
Oui, j'ai beau voir le ciel, l'oiseau
Rien rien rien ne luit là-haut
Les anges... Zéro
Je suis blanc de peau
Armstrong, tu te fends la poire
On voit toutes tes dents
Moi, je broie plutôt du noir
Du noir en dedans
Chante pour moi, louis, oh oui
Chante chante chante, ça tient chaud
J'ai froid, oh moi
Qui suis blanc de peau
Armstrong, la vie, quelle histoire?
C'est pas très marrant
Qu'on l'écrive blanc sur noir
Ou bien noir sur blanc
On voit surtout du rouge, du rouge
Sang, sang, sans trêve ni repos
Qu'on soit, ma foi
Noir ou blanc de peau
Armstrong, un jour, tôt ou tard
On n'est que des os
Est-ce que les tiens seront noirs?
Ce serait rigolo
Allez louis, alléluia
Au-delà de nos oripeaux
Noir et blanc sont ressemblants
Comme deux gouttes d'eau
Oh yeay!
