L'escompte est mort les traites sont traîtres
J'ai des regrets à découvert
C'est sur mon cœur que j'tire des chèques
Avec des taxes et sans erreur
J'ai investi mes illusions
A la banque des habitudes
C'est à l'emprunt des solitudes
Que fructifient mes souvenirs
Mon compte est bon
C'est mon malheur
J'ai fait bien trop d'économies
Au temps où il était encore temps
Mes bas de laine craquent à présent
Sous les chairs creuses de l'ennui
J'ai fait bien trop peu de folies
Et mes tiroirs sont plein d'argent
Les seules passions de ma vie
Sont des coupons que je paie comptant, content
Mon compte est bon
C'est mon malheur
Je viens d'émettre des actions
Sur une très excellente chimère
Je vends toutes mes obligations
Je règle ma dernière affaire
Ayant toujours vécu ainsi
Une suite de jours à crédit
Je règle mon heure dernière
Forfaitairement service compris, compris.
