Les bourgeois


Le coeur bien au chaud
Les yeux dans la bire
Chez la grosse Adrienne de Montalant
Avec l'ami Jojo
Et avec l'ami Pierre
On allait boire nos vingt ans
Jojo se prenait pour Voltaire
Et Pierre pour Casanova
Et moi, moi qui tais le plus fier
Moi, moi je me prenais pour moi
Et quand vers minuit passaient les notaires
Qui sortaient de l'htel des "Trois Faisans"
On leur montrait notre cul et nos bonnes manires
En leur chantant
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus a devient vieux plus a devient bte
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus a devient vieux plus a devient c...
Le coeur bien au chaud
Les yeux dans la bire
Chez la grosse Adrienne de Montalant
Avec l'ami Jojo
Et avec l'ami Pierre
On allait boire nos vingt ans
Voltaire dansait comme un vicaire
Et Casanova n'osait pas
Et moi, moi qui restait le plus fier
Moi j'tais presque aussi saoul que moi
Et quand vers minuit passaient les notaires
Qui sortaient de l'htel des "Trois Faisans"
On leur montrait notre cul et nos bonnes manires
En leur chantant
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus a devient vieux plus a devient bte
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus a devient vieux plus a devient c...
Le coeur au repos
Les yeux bien sur terre
Au bar de l'htel des "Trois Faisans"
Avec matre Jojo
Et avec matre Pierre
Entre notaires on passe le temps
Jojo parle de Voltaire
Et Pierre de Casanova
Et moi, moi qui suis rest le plus fier
Moi, moi je parle encore de moi
Et c'est en sortant vers minuit Monsieur le Commissaire
Que tous les soirs de chez la Montalant
De jeunes "peigne-culs" nous montrent leur derrire
En nous chantant
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus a devient vieux plus a devient bte
Les bourgeois c'est comme les cochons
Plus a devient vieux plus a devient c
