Joyeux calvaire


C'est l'histoire de Loulou Lapierre
Une p'tite mre ben ordinaire
Qui travaille temps partiel
Comme femme de chambre dans un htel
Elle endure dans son p'tit deuxime
La vie triste d'un H.L.M.
Et des matines toujours blmes
Elle a pas vingt-cinq ans
Et dj trois enfants
De deux pres diffrents
Qui se sont vanouis dans l'air
En la laissant dans' misre
Sans pension alimentaire...
Joyeux calvaire!
Sous un ciel en stucco
Entre les caisses de bire
Et les bbelles des flots
Joyeux Calvaire!
Pour Loulou Lapire
Qui aime autant se dire
Qu'au fond, la vie est pas si pire...
'Est accote a'ec un pouvlo
Un pauvre type toujours paquet
Qui joue aux jeux vidos
En glandant rien de ses journes
Y dort tous ses aprs-midis
Pis l'soir y part a'ec ses amis
Pour faire la rumba toute la nuit
Y dteste les enfants
D'ailleurs y' engueule tout l'temps
Pis il pte les plombs tout bout d'champ
Mais quand elle y parle de l'larguer
Y s'met la supplier
Comme un minable sans fiert...
Joyeux calvaire!
Sous un ciel en stucco
Entre les caisses de bire
Et les bbelles des flots
Joyeux Calvaire!
Pour Loulou Lapire
Qui aime autant se dire
Qu'au fond, la vie est pas si pire...
Quand elle en a son voyage
De sa vie remplie d'nuages
Elle vient chez nous s'boire une tisane
Loin du tapage et d'la chicane
On rit, on jase de nos problmes
On chiale un peu contre le systme
Qui favorise toujours les mmes
En s'disant qu'un matin
Tant donn qu'on s'aime ben
On devrait partir au loin
Et dans un clat d'rire
A' finit toujours par me dire
Que a pourrait pas tre pire!
Joyeux calvaire!
Sous un ciel en stucco
Entre les caisses de bire
Et les bbelles des flots
Joyeux Calvaire!
Pour Loulou Lapire
Qui aime autant se dire
Qu'un jour, on va ben s'en sortir
