Le montreur d'ours


Dix-neuf coups de baguettes sur la peau du tambour
Et mon ours va vous faire quelques-uns uns de ses tours
Le museau vers les anges
Et au bout une orange
Un p'tit air de musique
Il vous danse la gigue

Il fait peur il est dérisoire
Se balançant deçà delà
Comme s'il portait à bout de bras
Le monde et vos pauvres histoires

Approchez venez voir tous
Danser la danse de l'ours
Faites pleuvoir un peu vos sous
Et alors moi je vous joue
La musique de Carnaval
Qui fera danser l'animal

Cet ours est mon copain
Il me gagne mon pain
Mais faites attention pourtant
Car il a toutes ses dents

De bourgades en villages et autour de la terre
On s'promèn' tous les deux c'est vrai qu'on fait la paire
Cet ours est mon copain
Il me rend magicien
Change en or la poussière
Dans le rond de lumière

Et quand je soupe, moi, son maître
En le lorgnant par la fenêtre
Lui enchaîné à un anneau
Qui servait avant aux chevaux

Les chiens montrent les dents
En un cercle prudent
Les enfants sans parler
Le fixent fascinés

Moi je vous chante mes histoires
Pour vous faire rêver dans le noir
Et quand la lumière revient
Je crois que je ne suis plus rien
Mais vous, vous n'êtes pas d'accord
Vous voulez me toucher encore
Comme si je fabriquais un or
Qui pourrait changer votre vie
En une chanson assez jolie
Pour faire danser l'ours en vous

Approchez venez voir tous
Danser la danse de l'ours
Faites pleuvoir un peu vos sous
Et alors moi je vous joue
La musique de Carnaval
Qui fera danser l'animal

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
