Celle qui entre par une oreilleTrouve l'autre ferméeEt ressort par la boucheLa chansonCelle qui fait sa place au soleilDans l'ombre de nos cœursEt que rien n'effaroucheLa chansonLa chanson,
celle qui a la vie brèveA peine a-t-elle fait laLa la qu'elle n'est plus làLa chansonLa chanson,
la chanson,
celle qui rêveDe déplacer plus d'airQue l'air de la ToscaLa chansonLa chanson,
la chansonL'oiseau-mouche perchéSur le grand mur du sonCelle qui m'est revenue l'autre nuitMais celle qui la chantaitElle ne reviendra plusLa chansonCelle qui est incarnée sous la pluiePar une Edith qui piaffeA l'angle de la rueLa chansonLa chanson,
celle qui est encoreDans le corps d'un pianoRefermé pour toujoursLa chansonLa chanson,
la chanson cousue d'orQui se paie des jardinsEn gueulant dans les coursLa chansonLa chanson,
la chanson,
la chansonDont on croit connaître la chansonMais non !
