Lyrics L'ancêtre Georges Brassens

L'ancêtre


Notre voisin l'ancêtre était un fier galant
Qui n'emmerdait personne avec sa barbe blanche,
Et quand le bruit courut qu' ses jours étaient comptés,
On s'en fut à l'hospice afin de l'assister.

On avait apporté les guitar's avec nous
Car, devant la musique, il tombait à genoux,
Excepté toutefois les marches militaires
Qu'il écoutait en se tapant le cul par terre. {2x}

Émules de Django, disciples de Crolla,
Toute la fine fleur des cordes était là
Pour offrir à l'ancêtre, en signe d'affection,
En guis' de viatique, une ultime audition. {2x}

Hélas! les carabins ne les ont pas reçus,
Les guitar's sont resté's à la porte cochère,
Et le dernier concert de l'ancêtre déçu
Ce fut un pot-pourri de cantiques, peuchère!

Quand nous serons ancêtres,
Du côté de Bicêtre,
Pas de musique d'orgue, oh! non,
Pas de chants liturgiques
Pour qui aval' sa chique,
Mais des guitar's, cré nom de nom! {2x}

On avait apporté quelques litres aussi,
Car le bonhomme avait la fièvre de Bercy
Et les soirs de nouba, parol' de tavernier,
A rouler sous la table il était le dernier. {2x}

Saumur, Entre-deux-mers, Beaujolais, Marsala,
Toute la fine fleur de la vigne était là
Pour offrir à l'ancêtre, en signe d'affection,
En guis' de viatique, une ultime libation. {2x}

Hélas! les carabins ne les ont pas reçus,
Les litres sont restés à la porte cochère,
Et l' coup de l'étrier de l'ancêtre déçu
Ce fut un grand verre d'eau bénite, peuchère !

Quand nous serons ancêtres,
Du côté de Bicêtre,
Ne nous faites pas boire, oh ! non,
De ces eaux minéral's, bénites ou lustrales,
Mais du bon vin, cré nom de nom ! {2x}

On avait emmené les belles du quartier,
Car l'ancêtre courait la gueuse volontiers.
De sa main toujours leste et digne cependant
Il troussait les jupons par n'importe quel temps. {2x}

Depuis Manon Lescaut jusques à Dalila
Toute la fine fleur du beau sexe était là
Pour offrir à l'ancêtre, en signe d'affection,
En guis' de viatique, une ultime érection. {2x}

Hélas! les carabins ne les ont pas reçu's,
Les belles sont restées à la porte cochère,
Et le dernier froufrou de l'ancêtre déçu
Ce fut celui d'une robe de s?ur, peuchère !

Quand nous serons ancêtres,
Du côté de Bicêtre,
Pas d'enfants de Marie, oh ! non,
Remplacez-nous les nonnes
Par des belles mignonnes
Et qui fument, cré nom de nom ! {2x}
