A dix huit ans j'ai quitte ma province
Bien décide a empoigne la vie
Le coeur léger et le bagage mince
J'étais certain de conquérir Paris
Chez le tailleur le plus chic j'ai fait faire
Ce complet bleu qu'était du dernier cri
Les photos, les chansons et les orchestrations
Ont eu raison de mes économies
Je me voyais déjà en haut de l'affiche
En dix fois plus gros que n'importe qui mon nom s'étalait
Je me voyais déjà adule et riche
Signant mes photos aux admirateurs qui se bousculaient
J'étais le plus grand des grands fantaisistes
Faisant un succès si grand que les gens m'acclamaient debout
Je me voyais déjà cherchant dans ma liste
Celle qui le soir pourrait par faveur se pendre a mon cou
Mes traits ont vieilli sous mon maquillage
Mais la voix est la, le geste est précis et j'ai du ressort
Mon coeur s'est aigri un peu, en prenant de l'âge
Mais j'ai des idées, je connais mon métier et j'y crois encore
Rien que sous mes pieds, de sentir la scène
De voir devant moi un public assis, j'ai le coeur battant
On m'a pas aide, je n'ai pas eu de veine
Mais au fond de moi, je suis sur au moins que j'ai du talent
Mon complet bleu, il y a trente ans que je le porte
Et mes chansons ne font rire que moi
Je cours le cachet, je fais du porte a porte
Pour subsister, je fais n'importe quoi
Je n'ai connu que des succès faciles
Des trains de nuit et des filles a soldats
Les minables cachets, les valises a porter
Les petits meubles et les maigres repas
Je me voyais déjà en photographie
Au bras d'une star, l'hiver dans la neige, l'été au soleil
Je me voyais déjà racontant ma vie
L'air desabuse a des débutants friands de conseils
J'ouvrais calmement les soirs de première
Mille télégrammes de ce tout paris qui nous fait si peur
Et mourant de trac devant ce parterre
Entrer sur la scène sous les ovations et les projecteurs
J'ai tout essaye pourtant pour sortir du nombre
J'ai chante l'amour, j'ai fait du comique et de la fantaisie
Si tout a rate pour moi, si je suis dans l'ombre
Ce n'est pas de ma faute, mais celle du public qui n'a rien compris
On ne m'a jamais accorde ma chance
D'autres ont réussi avec peu de voix et beaucoup d'argent
Moi j'étais trop pur ou trop en avance
Mais un jour viendra je leur montrerai que j'ai du talent!
