Nous étions tous des bons copains
Et puis nous nous amusions bien
Jusqu'aux petites heures le matin
Nous trinquions la bière et le vin
Nous nous racontions des histoires
Dont nous nous faisions une gloire
Toujours en bas de la ceinture
Jamais en haut vers la figure
Ah oui, mon brave Émilien
Pour ça nous nous amusions bien
Lorsque nous étions tous très saoûl
Pire qu'une bande de voyous
Nous pissions devant les demeures
Histoire de faire pousser les fleurs
Nous disions des tas de bêtises
Tout comme le font les députés
Mais eux autres quand ils en disent
Au moins ils se font bien payer
Ah oui, mon brave Émilien
Pour ça nous nous amusions bien
Et puis passèrent les années
À force de trop rigoler
Nous y laissâmes notre santé
Et nos matins furent moins gais
Ce qui faisait notre joie d'même
Devient tout à coup un problème
Pareil comme dans le mariage
Après quelque temps en ménage
Ah oui, mon brave Émilien
Pour ça nous nous amusions moins
Alors les plus sages se rangèrent
Et devinrent des fonctionnaires
Huit heures à se croiser les pattes
Et puis le soir un jus d'tomate
Les plus braves se moquaient d'eux
S'accrochant à leur verre de bière
Maintenant sont à Saint-Jean-de-Dieu
Ou bien encore au cimetière
Ah oui, mon brave Émilien
Pour ça, oui, je te comprends bien
