Ballons! Ballons! Ballons!
Voulez-vous des ballons?
Quand l'automne bat sur les portes
Moi je suis le marchand d'oiseaux
J'ai des oiseaux de toutes sortes
Que je ne vends qu'aux gens comme il faut
Que je ne vends qu'aux gens comme il faut
Mais j'attends avec impatience
Que revienne l'été aux chansons
Puisque l'été c'est les vacances
Et que je suis marchand de ballons
Et que je suis marchand de ballons
Faut me voir Ballons! Ballons!
J'en ai des verts des bleus des rouges
Et dans les airs parbleu ils bougent
Dans les yeux éblouis des gamins
J'en ai des roses et des pervenches
Qui resplendissent le dimanche
Sur les va-et-vient des jardins
Ce n'est pas que ça me rapporte
De quoi construire ma maison
Mais j'ai des joies de toutes sortes
A être marchand de ballons
A être marchand de ballons
Et ces ballons qui font des bonds
Sont prisonniers d'un fil
D'un fil subtil
Mais assez long à cause des plafonds.
