Le Grand Café
Au Grand Café vous entrez par hasard
Tout ébloui par les lumières du boul'vard
Bien installé devant la grande table
Vous avez bu, quelle soif indomptable
De beaux visages fardés vous disaient bonsoir
Et la caissière se levait pour mieux vous voir
Vous étiez beau vous étiez bien coiffé
Vous avez fait beaucoup d'effet
Beaucoup d'effet au Grand Café.
Comme on croyait que vous étiez voyageur
Vous avez dit des histoires d'un ton blagueur
Bien installé devant la grande table
On écoutait cet homme intarissable
Tous les garçons jonglaient avec Paris-Soir
Et la caissière pleurait au fond d'son tiroir
Elle vous aimait, elle les aurait griffés
Tous ces gueulards, ces assoiffés
Ces assoiffés du Grand Café
Par terre on avait mis de la sciure de bois
Pour que les cracheurs crachassent comme il se doit
Bien installé devant la grande table
Vous invitiez des Ducs, des Connétables
Quand on vous présenta, soudain, l'addition
Vous avez déclaré : Moi, j'ai pas un rond
Cette phrase-là produit un gros effet
On confisqua tous vos effets
Vous étiez fait au Grand Café.
Depuis ce jour, depuis bientôt soixante ans
C'est vous l'chasseur, l'commis de restaurant
Vous essuyez toujours la grande table
C'est pour payer cette soirée lamentable
Ah, vous eussiez mieux fait de rester ailleurs
Que d'entrer dans ce café plein d'manilleurs
Vous étiez beau, le temps vous a défait
Les mites commencent à vous bouffer
Au Grand Café, au Grand Café.
