Le monde à l'envers


J'étais perché au plus haut d'un chêne
la tête en bas pour me calmer les nerfs
et c'est ainsi que j'ai eu l'aubaine
de contempler le monde à l'envers

j'ai vu monsieur l'agent après une pirouette
retomber sur la tête bloqué dans son képi
ne soyez pas méchants, ah! vous n'êtes pas chouettes
de penser aussi fort que c'est bien fait pour lui

d'ailleurs les conducteurs
les larmes aux lunettes
l'ayant évité avec conscience
mais comble de malheur
le vent de leur prudence
l'a fait tourner en girouette
tourne le vent, tourne l'agent

j'ai vu un cumulus sortir de la mer
tout effarouché par un nimbus pervers
qui voulait lui montrer les plaisirs de l'enfer
le pauvre il était rose il est devenu tout vert

c'est alors qu'apparu l'hippocampe
brandissant le bâton de monsieur l'agent
et tes droits de persécution ou décampe
et le méchant nimbus c'est enfui en pleuvant

ce que je redoute dans le monde à l'envers
ce sont les grands routes qui se jettent à la mer
faudra que je m'achète un de ces trucs amphibies
et un bon fusil pour chasser l'anguille

je prendrai mon chien cyranne qui pleure sur les gouttières
il a peur la bonne âme du chat de l'épicière
faut dire que cette infâme lui a volé son os
tiens me voilà en panne il me manque une rime en os

souffle moi donc cyranne un petit mot en os
monsieur le curé pardonne, pardonne ou par éos
mais non mon petit cyranne un curé n'a pas os
tu piges rien un bougre d'âne, un curé ça sert d'os

monsieur le curé dans la soutane
je vous le dis en passant
est repassé par serane

qui l'a mis dans un ciment
comment fait-il pour pénétrer dans son auto
y'me dit mon petit sois donc tranquille
moi j'ai les pieds ça sert d'auto

(sacerdotaux mais c'est connu mon vieux)

or sur les toits y'a croque-mitaine
qui est encore plus moche à l'envers
je redescends vite de mon chêne
car je n'ai pas de revolver

d'ailleurs je crois finalement
que ça vaudra beaucoup mieux pour moi
car pas les temps qui courent
je pourrais bien mourir d'effroi
vu qu'une sachant même plus si je suis poisson ou oiseau
je sais vraiment plus de qui je dois méfier chasseur, pêcheur ou carnassier
y'aura toujours un connaisseur pour m'empailler dans un musée

et qui serait bien fichu de me coller la légion d'honneur
et qui me ferait apprendre toute la constitution par coeur

alors si vous me permettez
je m'en retourne vite au boulot
c'est bien dommage en vérité
car à mes pieds le ciel était si beau

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
