C'était un gringaletpas vraiment laid,mais il étaitné à
Paname,tous ceux qui l'connaissaienty disaientqu'y savaitcauser aux dames.C'était
pas un tocard,un ringuard,un traîne-boul'vard,on l'app'lait l'Saint-Bernard,le Mozart,du
pont des Arts.C'était pas un dragueur,un flambeur,de fin
d'semaine,il amenait nos p'tites sœursun quart d'heuresu'l'bord d'la
Seine.Il avait pas eu d'père,pas eu d'mère,ni d'anniversaire,il
était né un soir,rue Rochechouart,près d'une poubelle.Il avait
pas eu d'chance,ni d'vacances,dans son enfance,mais quand fallait
d'l'ambiance,sa seule présence,c'était Byzance.C'était un bon copain,y méritait
biencette chansonnette,car il est mort de faim,un beau
matin,rue d'la Roquette.Cette chanson se termine,ça m'déprime,c'est pas
humain,moi j'aime pas les chansonsoù les hérosy meurent
à la fin.
