Quand ils commencèrent
La chasse aux sorcières
J'étais jeune apparition
Sans grande expérience
Leurs cris de démence
Me glaçaient jusqu'au trognon
A longueur d'antenne
J'agitais mes chaînes
Sans faire la moindre impression
Maint'nant on m'respecte
Je suis un vieux spectre
Bien connu dans la maison
Je suis l'âme en peine
Qui secoue ses chaînes
Au studio des Buttes-Chaumont
L'onde est mon royaume
Je suis le fantôme
De la télévision
Je fais des chatouilles
A ceux qui magouillent
Dans le sondage bidon
Je fais des gratouilles
A ceux qui glandouillent
Dans le débat-mironton
Je fous les chocottes
A ceux qui fayottent
Dans la désinformation
Je fous la panique
A ceux qui forniquent
La liberté d'expression
Je suis l'âme en peine
Qui secoue ses chaînes
Au studio des Buttes-Chaumont
L'onde est mon royaume
Je suis le fantôme
De la télévision
En vingt ans de dur labeur
J'ai connu vingt directeurs
Qui partirent à ma chasse
Mais avant qu'ils ne m'attrapent
lls passaient tous à la trappe
Moi je suis toujours en place
Y'en a qui m'envient
De passer ma vie
A côtoyer les Zitrons
Les grands publicistes
Tous ceux qui insistent
Pour vous lessiver l'oignon
Les gens qui surnagent
Grâce au matraquage
Des ritournelles à la con
Les brosses à reluire
Des princes-sans-rire
Qui vous forment une opinion
Mais tout n'est pas drôle
Quand on joue le rôle
Le rôle d'apparition
L'onde est mon royaume
Plaignez le fantôme
De la télévision
Ici y a des dingues
Qui prennent leurs flingues
Pour trouer mon courant d'air
De sombres figures
Quand je dis culture
Qui sortent leurs révolvers
Sitôt que je bouge
Y'en a qui voient rouge
Faut qu'ils se fassent une raison
Y a pas qu'en Ecosse
Que mon p'tit négoce
Fait partie des traditions
Y a tant d'âmes en peine
Qui secouent leurs chaînes
Au studio des Buttes-Chaumont
L'onde est un royaume
Rempli de fantômes
A la télévision
