Johnny Monfarleau passait dans la rueAvec une punaise qu'était grosse comme un veauIl a pris sa peau pour en faire un capot :Hourrah !
Pour Johnny Monfarleau...Avec sa viande,
ainsi que ses os,Je me suis décidé de faire un tricotJ'ai tout invité : les parents,
les amisAinsi que Johnny Monfarleau...Je l'ai vu à Gaspé se promenerCe pauvre vieux en char à bœufsSa jupe de côté,
sa jupe fléchée :Hourrah !
Pour Johnny Monfarleau !Quand j'était tout p'tit gars,
à la messe du Cap ChatIl me menait à l'église avec sa jument griseSa vieille cariole de peau de popiauHourrah !
Pour Johnny Monfarleau !Depuis le mois d'octobre,
puis dans les forêtsEn costume de bain garni en peau de lapinAvec sa vieille couverte tricotée au crochetHourrah !
Pour Johnny Monfarleau !Je l'ai vu allant par de-ci,
par làIl se promène en pyjamaSa veste de castor traînant sur le traineauHourrah !
Pour Johnny Monfarleau !
