On nous appelait il y a trois cents ans
Gibiers de potence ou pauvres manants
On étaient derrière les charrues
Et nos mères étaient dentellières
On étaient toujours les mains nues
On avaient les pieds sur la terre
On mangeait du pain avec des lentilles
On était cousins de toutes les familles
Petit peuple sans importance
On en a construit des églises
On a fait les tours de la Défense
Et l'on mouille toujours nos chemises
Les petites gens vous saluent bien bas
Qu'ils soient d'à présent ou du temps des rois
Du haut des poutrelles ou du fond des cours
Les petites gens vous saluent toujours
Mais faut pas venir pour leur expliquer
Que leur avenir a déjà changé
En haut c'est toujours les grands mots , les dentelles
En bas c'est toujours la pelle et la truelle
On peut dire c'qu'on voudra à la télévision
Les petites gens ça connaît la chanson
Ce n'est pas une tare d'être wagonnier
On a quelque part un cousin berger
Et quand l'un de nous est chanteur
Ce n'est pas une trahison
Ça fait bien longtemps votre honneur
Qu'on entend chanter les maçons
Les petites gens vous saluent bien bas
Qu'ils soient d'à présent ou du temps des rois
Du haut des poutrelles ou du fond des cours
Les petites gens vous saluent toujours
En haut c'est toujours les grands mots , les dentelles
En bas c'est toujours la pelle et la truelle
On peut dire c'qu'on voudra à la télévision
Les petites gens ça connaît la chanson
