Dans la rue TraversièreIl y poussait des rosesEt
tout un tas d'aut' chosesQue personne ne voyait.Dans
la rue TraversièreY avait un vieux bébéQui pleurait
à la f'ntrePac' qu'il allait tomber.Dans la rue
TraversièreY avait un' grand'mamanQui montrait son derrièrePour deux
cent trente-cinq francs.Dans la rue TraversièreSilencieux près d'une
borneY avait un militaireLes pieds dans son bicorneDans
la rue TraversièreY avait un inventeurQui f'sait des
montgolfièresEn noir et en couleurs.Dans la rue TraversièreY
avait une guillotineQui coupait des cigaresPour le papa
d'AlineDans la rue TraversièreY avait des amoureuxSous les
portes cochèresQui se comptaient les yeuxDans la rue
TraversièreY avait des lions férocesHabillés en cosaquesPour aller
à la noce.Dans la rue TraversièreOn n'y passait
jamaisC'était pas une vraie rueEt tout l'monde était
mort...
