J's'rai content quand tu s'ras mortVieille CanailleJ's'rai content
quand tu s'ras mortVieille CanailleTu ne perds rien
pour attendreJe sau - rai bien te descendreJ's'rai
content d'avoir ta peauVieux ChameauJe t'ai r'çu à
bras ouvertsVieill' CanailleT'avais toujours ton couvertVieill' CanailleT'as brûlé
tous mes tapisTu t'es couché dans mon litEt
t'as bu tout mon portoVieux ChameauPuis j't'ai présenté
ma femmeVieille CanaillePuis j't'ai présenté ma femmeVieille CanailleTu
y a fait du baratinTu l'embrassais dans les
coinsDès que j'avais tourné l'dosVieux ChameauPuis t'es parti
avec elleVieille CanaillePuis t'es parti avec elleVieille CanailleEn
emportant la vaisselleLe dessous d'lit en dentelle,L'argent'rie et
les rideauxVieux ChameauMais j'ai sorti mon fusilVieille CanailleMais
j'ai sorti mon fusilVieille CanailleEt quand j'te tiendrai
au boutJe rigol'rai un bon coupEt j't'aurai vite
refroidiVieux BanditOn te mettra dans un' tombeVieille CanailleEt
moi j'irai faire la bombeVieille CanailleÀ coups de
p'tits verr's d'eau-d'vieLa plus bell' cuit' de ma
vieSera pour tes funéraillesVieille CanailleVieille CanailleVieux Chameau
