Le balafré


Il lui manquait quatre phalanges
Ca lui donnait pas l'air d'un ange
Avec son oeil sous un bandeau
Et sa gueule en lame de couteau
Sous son vêtement, doux Jésus
Tout son corps était recousu
Et quand il remontait ses manches
Les femmes devenaient toutes blanches

Il menait une vie de cigale
Il jouait de la scie musicale
Il trouvait qu'en fermant les yeux
Son instrument sonnait mieux
Le balafré

Sa mère croyait de bonne foi
Qu'il s'en allait couper du bois
C'est pas qu'il fût je-m'en-foutiste
Il avait une âme d'artiste

Dans un cabaret de Pigalle
Il jouait de la scie musicale
Il trouvait qu'en fermant les yeux
Son instrument sonnait mieux
Le balafré

Il aimait la vie de théâtre
Il aimait le stuc et le plâtre
Les filles habillées en lapin
Plutôt que l'odeur du sapin

Et à la pause syndicale
Leur jouait de la scie musicale
Il trouvait qu'en fermant les yeux
Son instrument sonnait mieux
Le balafré

On retrouva au parc Monceau
Une bourgeoise coupée en morceaux
Le balafré passait par là
Il avait sa scie sous son bras
Tout le monde croyait de bonne foi
Qu'il s'en allait couper du bois
C'est pas qu'il fût je-m'en-foutiste
Il avait une âme d'artiste

Il menait une vie de cigale
....

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
