J'ai des tombeaux en abondance
Des sépultur's à discrétion
Dans tout cim'tièr' d'quelque importance
J'ai ma petite concession
De l'humble tertre au mausolée
Avec toujours quelqu'un dedans
J'ai des p'tit's boss's plein les allées
Et je suis triste, cependant...
Car je n'en ai pas, et ça m'agace
Et ça défrise mon blason
Au cimetièr' du Montparnasse
A quatre pas de ma maison
J'en possède au Père-Lachaise
A Bagneux, à Thiais, à Pantin
Et jusque, ne vous en déplaise
Au fond du cimetièr' marin
A la vill' comme à la campagne
Partout où l'on peut faire un trou
J'ai mêm' des tombeaux en Espagne
Qu'on me jalouse peu ou prou...
Mais j'n'en ai pas la moindre trace
Le plus humble petit soupçon
Au cimetièr' du Montparnasse
A quatre pas de ma maison
Le jour des morts, je cours, je vole
Je vais infatigablement
De nécropole en nécropole
De pierr' tombale en monument
On m'entrevoit sous un' couronne
D'immortelles à Champerret
Un peu plus tard, c'est à Charonne
Qu'on m'aperçoit sous un cyprès...
Mais, seul, un fourbe aura l'audace
De dir' : "J'l'ai vu à l'horizon
Du cimetièr' du Montparnasse
A quatre pas de sa maison"
Devant l'château d'ma grand-tante
La marquise de Carabas
Ma saint' famille languit d'attente
"Mourra-t-ell', mourra-t-elle pas ?"
L'un veut son or, l'autre veut ses meubles
Qui ses bijoux, qui ses bib'lots
Qui ses forêts, qui ses immeubles
Qui ses tapis, qui ses tableaux...
Moi je n'implore qu'une grâce
C'est qu'ell' pass' la morte-saison
Au cimetièr' du Montparnasse
A quatre pas de ma maison
Ainsi chantait, la mort dans l'âme
Un jeune homm' de bonne tenue
En train de ranimer la flamme
Du soldat qui lui était connu
Or, il advint qu'le ciel eut marr' de
L'entendre parler d'ses caveaux
Et Dieu fit signe à la camarde
De l'expédier rue Froidevaux...
Mais les croqu'-morts, qui étaient de Chartres
Funeste erreur de livraison
Menèr'nt sa dépouille à Montmartre
De l'autr' côté de sa maison
