Papa, c'était un lapin
Qui s'appelait J.B. Chopin
Et qu'avait son domicile
À Belleville.
Le soir avec sa petite famille
Il s'en allait en chantant
Des hauteurs de la Courtille
À Ménilmontant, à Ménilmontant !
Il buvait si peu qu'un soir
On l'a retrouvé sur le trottoir
L'était crevé bien tranquille
À Belleville !
On l'a mis dans la terre glaise
Pour un prix exorbitant
Tout en haut du Père-Lachaise
À Ménilmontant, à Ménilmontant !
Ma soeur est avec Eloi,
Dont le frère est avec moi,
Le soir sur le boulevard y me refile
À Belleville
C'est comme ça qu'il gagne sa braise
Et son frère en gagne autant
En refilant ma soeur Thérèse
À Ménilmontant, à Ménilmontant !
Le dimanche au lieu de travailler
Ils nous montent au poulailler
Voir jouer le drame ou bien le vaudeville
À Belleville
Le soir, ils font leurs épates
Ils étalent leur trébuchant
Minces des genoux et larges des pattes
À Ménilmontant, à Ménilmontant!
C'est comme ça que c'est le vrai moyen
De faire un bon citoyen,
Ils grandissent sans se faire de bile
À Belleville !
Ils crient "Vive l'Indépendance"
Y z'ont le coeur bath et content
Et barbotent dans l'abondance
À Ménilmontant, à Ménilmontant !
