{Refrain:}
Honte à cet effronté qui peut chanter pendant
Que Rome brûle, ell' brûl' tout l' temps...
Honte à qui malgré tout fredonne des chansons
A Gavroche, à Mimi Pinson.
En mil neuf cent trent'-sept que faisiez-vous mon cher ?
J'avais la fleur de l'âge et la tête légère,
Et l'Espagne flambait dans un grand feu grégeois.
Je chantais, et j'étais pas le seul : "Y a d' la joie".
Et dans l'année quarante mon cher que faisiez-vous ?
Les Teutons forçaient la frontière, et comme un fou,
Et comm' tout un chacun, vers le sud, je fonçais,
En chantant : "Tout ça, ça fait d'excellents Français".
{Refrain}
A l'heure de Pétain, à l'heure de Laval,
Que faisiez-vous mon cher en plein dans la rafale ?
Je chantais, et les autres ne s'en privaient pas :
"Bel ami", "Seul ce soir", "J'ai pleuré sur tes pas ".
Mon cher, un peu plus tard, que faisait votre glotte
Quand en Asie ça tombait comme à Gravelotte ?
Je chantais, il me semble, ainsi que tout un tas
De gens : "Le déserteur", "Les croix", "Quand un soldat".
{Refrain}
Que faisiez-vous mon cher au temps de l'Algérie,
Quand Brel était vivant qu'il habitait Paris ?
Je chantais, quoique désolé par ces combats :
"La valse à mille temps" et "Ne me quitte pas".
Le feu de la ville éternelle est éternel.
Si Dieu veut l'incendie, il veut les ritournelles.
A qui fera-t-on croir' que le bon populo,
Quand il chante quand même, est un parfait salaud ?
{Refrain}
