Organisateur de nos vies,
commeTu veux qu'on soit des bêtes de somme,Des Shaddocks à pompe,Tu sais,
tu t'trompes.Dans la tête du quincailler de NanterreQui range,
dans ses tiroirs,
des bouts d'fer,Sans grande musique,Y a la Compagnie Transatlantique.La vie intime est maritime.
{2x}Tout là-haut,
dans les tours de verre,Les P'tites Waterman,
les pauv' Parker,Sans alizé,Sans les skippers,
les beaux bronzés,Dans son école l'écolier,Voiliers,
des dictées chiffonnées,Dans les prisons dures,Bateaux dessinés sur les murs.{Refrain:}Bateaux,
bateaux,J'marche dans un profond ravin,Bateaux,Dans l'pipi d'chien.Bateaux,
bateaux,J'ferme les yeux : déjà,
j'suis loin.Bateaux,
bateaux,Saveur de moi prisonnier,Bateaux,Dans ces lentes journées.Bateaux,Dans ma tête,
une liberté.La vie intime est maritime.
{2x}Regardez-là,
la jolie flotille,Rêveuse au matin,
qui s'éparpilleVers un sale boulot,Un spinaker dans l'ciboulot.Vous pouvez faire voter,
mécanique,Tous ces gens qu'ont des airs apathiquesMais pas l'attraper,L'bateaux qu'ils ont dans la tête caché.{Refrain}Organisateur de nos vies,
commeTu veux qu'on soit des bêtes de somme,Des Shaddocks à pompe,Tu sais,
tu t'trompes.
