2033 (le manifeste d'un vieux chasseur d'oies)


En l'an 2033
Un vieux Québécois décida
De r'tourner à chasse à l'oie
Su' l'île Dupas
Par le premier du mois
Il partit d'un bon pas
Quand il y arriva
Tourne d'un bord, pis tourne de l'aut'
Lève la tête, pis lève les bras
Pas un osti d'oie
Tout c'qu'il y trouva
Des cannes de coca-cola
Et pis des douilles de 303
Made in USA

Ça fa que là, Josapha L'Espérance
Du rang des Oies blanches
Y a tiré deux coups d'gun dans le ciel vide
Y sé t'assis s'une bûche, y'a sorti
Un crayon pi un papier, pis y sé concentré :
Mon cher Ministre
Dans mon pays je suis allé
Pour l'oie y chasserAucune oie j'y ai trouvée
De nombreuses fois j'ai sacré
Ça s'rait-y trop vous d'mander
Que de savoir où c'qui cé qui sont passées
Baptême !
Signé Josapha L'Espérance
Du rang des Oies blanches

Par le dixième du mois, ce dernier reçut
Un beau message sur page blanche
Qui lui disait à peu près cela :
Nous sommes pour vous déçus
Croyions que vous l'eussiez déjà su
Mais, cette terre ne vous appartient plus
Elle a été vendue

En d'autres termes ...
Vous avez pas d'affaires là
On vous souhaite d'excellentes récoltes
Le moins de maladie possible dans la famille
Signé : le Ministre de l'au-delà

En l'an 2033 par le dixième du mois
Un vieux Québécois
Décida ...

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics 2033 (LE MANIFESTE D'UN VIEUX CHASSEUR D'OIES) of LA BOTTINE SOURIANTE is also present in the album Y'a ben du changement (1978)
