A 18 ans j'ai quitt ma province
Bien dcid empoigner la vie
Le coeur lger et le bagage mince
J'tais certain de conqurir Paris
Chez le tailleur le plus chic, j'ai fait faire
Ce complet bleu qui tait du dernier cri
Les photos, les chansons et les orchestrations
Ont eus raison de mes conomies
Je me voyais dj en haut de l'affiche
En dix fois plus gros que n'importe qui mon nom s'talait
Je me voyais dj adul et riche
Signant mes photos aux admirateurs qui se bousculaient
J'tais le plus grand, des grands fantaisistes
Faisant un succs si fort que les gens m'acclamaient debout
Je me voyais dj, cherchant dans la liste
Celle qui le soir pourrait par faveur se pendre mon cou
Mes trais ont vieillis bien sur, sous mon maquillage
Mais la voix est l, le geste est prcis et j'ai du ressort
Mon coeur c'est aigri un peu en prenant de l'age
Mais j'ai des ides, je connais mon mtier, j'y crois encore
Rien que sous mes pieds de sentir la scne
De voir devant moi un public assis, j'ai le coeur battant
On m'a pas aid, 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, y'a 30 ans que je le porte
Et mes chansons ne font rire que moi
Je coure le cachet, je fait du porte porte
Pour subsister, je fait n'importe quoi
Je n'ai connu que des succs faciles
Des trains de nuits et des filles soldats
Les minables cachets, les valises porter
Les petits meubls et les maigres repas
Je me voyais dj, en photographie
Au bras d'une star, l'hivers la neige et l't au soleil
Je me voyais dj, racontant ma vie,
L'air dsabus, des dbutants friands de conseils
J'ouvrais calmement, les soirs de premire
Mille tlgrammes de ce tout Paris qui nous fait si peur
Et mourant de trac, devant ce parterre
Entrer sur la scne, sous les ovations et les projecteurs
J'ai tout essay pourtant, pour sortir du nombre
J'ai chant l'amour, j'ai fait du comique et de la fantaisie
Si tout a rat pour moi, si je suis dans l'ombre
Ce n'est pas ma faute mais celle du public qui n'a rien compris
On ne m'a jamais accord ma chance
D'autres ont russi avec peu de voix et beaucoup d'argent
Moi j'tais trop pur ou trop en avance
Mais un jour viendra o je leur montrerai que j'ai du talent
