Il était né près du canal
Par là... dans l'quartier d'l'Arsenal
Sa maman, qu'avait pas d'mari,
L'appelait son petit Henri...
Mais on l'appelait la Filoche,
A la Bastoche.
I'n'faisait pas sa société
Du génie de la liberté,
I' n'était pas républicain,
Il était l'ami du rouquin
Et le p'tit homme à la Méloche,
A la Bastoche.
A c'tte époqu'-là, c'était l'bon temps :
La Méloche avait dix-huit ans,
Et la Filoche était rupin :
Il allait des fois en sapin,
Il avait du jonc dans sa poche,
A la Bastoche.
Mais ça peut pas durer toujours,
Après la saison des amours
C'est la mistoufle, et ben souvent,
Faut s'les caler avec du vent
Filer la comète et la cloche,
A la Bastoche.
Un soir qu'il avait pas mangé,
Qu'i rôdait comme un enragé,
Il a, pour barboter l'quibus,
D'un conducteur des omnibus,
Crevé la panse et la sacoche,
A la Bastoche.
Et sur la bascule à Charlot,
Il a payé sans dire un mot :
A la Roquette, un beau matin,
Il a fait voir à ceux d'Pantin,
Comment savait mourir un broche
De la Bastoche !
Il était né près du canal
Par là... dans l'quartier d'l'Arsenal
Sa maman, qu'avait pas d'mari,
L'appelait son petit Henri...
Mais on l'appelait la Filoche,
A la Bastoche.

Aristide Bruant (Paris, 1851 – Paris, 1905) was a French singer and chansonnier, considered one of the pioneers of Parisian cabaret. With his gravelly voice and theatrical style, Bruant captured the bohemian and decadent atmosphere of late nineteenth-century Paris. His songs, often on social or political themes, addressed poverty, prostitution, and life in popular Paris. Bruant was a controversial figure, loved by some for his authenticity and criticized by others for his daring themes. Among his most famous songs are "Le Chanson du Vieux Moulin" and "La Vie Bohème". His influence on French cabaret was profound, paving the way for artists like Édith Piaf and Jacques Brel.
