Dans les salons, au temps de Maupassant,
Sur Bel Ami chaque femme en passant
Se retournait espérant la promesse
De son regard doux comme une caresse
Et sur les pas du tendre séducteur
Dont le renom fut de briser les coeurs
On entendait comme un frisson
Chanter cette chanson...
Bel Amant, Bel Amour, Bel Ami
Follement, chaque jour Bel Ami
Tu conduis sur tes pas
Une femme qui tout bas
S'est jurée de tomber dans tes bras
Ton pouvoir est si grand, Bel Ami
Ton doux charme a conquis
Tous les coeurs du grand Paris
Bel Amant, Bel Amour, Bel Ami
Si vous trouvez dans un livre oublié
De Bel Ami le vieux portrait fané
En souriant de son ancien panache
De son air vain, de ses belles moustaches
Si vous croyez encore que grand destin
Des beaux amants dont chacun se souvient
Sans bien comprendre, il vous faudra
Dire en riant, voilà...
N-i, ni, c'est fini, Bel Ami...
Reste ainsi dans l'oubli, Bel Ami...
Si tu fus adoré
Garde l'attrait du passé
Aujourd'hui tu parais démodé
En raillant ton portrait, Bel Ami
Le vieux temps qui semblait si joli
On se dit, plein d'ennui :
"Non vraiment, c'était donc lui ?"
Bel Amant, Bel Amour, Bel Ami
