1J'ai plaqu mon chne
Comme un saligaud,
Mon copain le chne,
Mon alter ego.
On tait du mme bois
Un peu rustique, un peu brut,
Don't on fait n'importe quoi
Sauf, naturell'ment, les fltes...
J'ai maint'nant des frnes,
Des arbres de Jude,
Tous de bonne graine,
De haute futaie...
Mais, toi, tu manques l'appel,
Ma vieill' branche de campagne,
Mon seul arbre de Nol,
Mon mt de cocagne!
RAuprs de mon arbre,
Je vivais heureux,
J'aurais jamais d m'loigner de mon arbre...
Auprs de mon arbre,
Je vivais heureux,
J'aurais jamais d le quitter des yeux...
2Je suis un pauv' type
J'aurai plus de joie :
J'ai jet ma pipe,
Ma vieill' pipe en bois,
Qu'avait fum sans s'fcher,
Sans jamais m'brler la lippe,
L' tabac d' la vache enrage
Dans sa bonn' vieill' tte de pipe...
J'ai des pip's d'cume
Orn's de fleurons,
De ces pip's qu'on fume
En levant le front,
Mais j'retrouv'rai plus, ma foi,
Dans mon coeur ni sur ma lippe,
Le got d'ma viell' pip' en bois,
Sacr nom d'un' pipe !
3Le surnom d'infme
Me va comme un gant :
D'avecque ma femme
J'ai foutu le camp,
Parc' que, depuis tant d'ann's,
C'tait pas une sincure
De lui voir tout l'temps le nez
Au milieu de la figure...
Je bats la campagne
Pour dnicher la
Nouvelle compagne
Valant celle-l
Qui, bien sr, laissait beaucoup
Trop de pierr's dans les lentilles,
Mais se pendait mon cou
Quand j'perdais mes billes !
4J'avais un' mansarde
Pour tout logement,
Avec des lzardes
Sur le firmament,
Je l'savais par coeur depuis
Et, pour un baiser la course,
J'emmenais mes bell's de nuit
Faire un tour sur la grande Ourse...
J'habit' plus d'mansarde,
Il peu dsormais
Tomber des hall'bardes,
Je m'en bats l'oei mais,
Mais si quelqu'un monte aux cieux
Moins que moi, j'y pai' des prunes :
Y'a cent sept ans, qui dit mieux,
Qu'j'ai pas vu la lune
