Lyrics Le gorille Francis Cabrel

Le gorille


C'est à travers de larges grilles,
Que les femelles du canton,
Contemplaient un puissant gorille,
Sans souci du qu'en-dira-t-on.
Avec impudeur, ces commères
Lorgnaient même un endroit précis
Que, rigoureusement ma mère
M'a défendu de nommer ici...
Gare au gorille !...

Voilà que la prison bien close
S'ouvre sur le bel animal
On n'sait pourquoi. Je suppose
Qu'on avait du la fermer mal.
Le singe, en sortant de sa cage
Dit "C'est aujourd'hui que j'le perds !"
Il parlait de son pucelage,
Vous aviez deviné, j'espère !
Gare au gorille !...

Tout le monde se précipite
Hors d'atteinte du singe en rut,
Sauf une vielle décrépite
Et un jeune juge en bois brut;
Voyant que chacuns se dérobent,
Le quadrumane accéléra
Son dandinement vers les robes
De la vieille et du magistrat !
Gare au gorille !... x2

"Bah ! soupirait la centenaire,
Qu'on puisse encore me désirer,
Ce serait extraordinaire,
Et, pour tout dire, inespéré !" ;
Le juge pensait, impassible,
"Qu'on me prenne pour une guenon,
C'est complètement impossible..."
La suite lui prouva que non !
Gare au gorille !...

Car si l'on sait que le gorille
Aux jeux de l'amour vaut son prix,
On sait qu'en revanche il ne brille
Ni par le goût, ni par l'esprit.
Lors, au lieu d'opter pour la vieille,
Comme l'aurait fait n'importe qui,
Il saisit le juge à l'oreille
Et l'entraîna dans un maquis !
Gare au gorille !...

La suite serait délectable,
Malheureusement, je ne peux
Pas la dire, et c'est regrettable,
Ça nous aurait fait rire un peu ;
Car le juge, au moment suprême,
Criait : "Maman !", pleurait beaucoup,
Comme l'homme auquel, le jour même,
Il avait fait trancher le cou.
Gare au gorille !... x3

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
