Bonhomme qui va austèreAu milieu des landes,
des bruyèresSilhouette insolitesBloc de granitTonton foule la terreLentementComme le tempsLe temps qui,
pourtant,
emporteLes idées,
les hommes et les amours mortesLe temps qui lui resteDans la même vesteAvant de n'être plusQu'une statueUn nom de rueIl a son beau chapeauIl a son long manteauIl a son chien,
le braveLe gros qui baveIl a le regard des sagesIl est la force tranquille,
sereineIl est comme un grand chêneIl sait la futilitéDe toute choseLa douceur etLa fragilité des rosesBonhomme qui va austèreAu milieu des landes,
des bruyèresSilhouette insoliteBloc de granitTonton foule la terreEn sifflotantComme le ventLe vent qui,
pourtant,
emporteSon joli chapeau que le chien rapporteIl est plein de baveCe n'est pas bien graveUn chapeau ça se laveMais ça fait saleEt tonton râleTonton est colèreTout va de traversL'Histoire,
la gloire,
tout foireParc'que ce soirLe vieille homme a,
c'est durUn caillou dans sa chaussureUn vieux rhume qui dureEt puis cette nuit,
misèreIl a rêvéQu'un beau jourLa gauche revenaitTonton s'en vaA petits pas ...
