J'avais dix-huit ans
Tout juste et quittant
Ma ville natale
Un beau jour, o gue
Je vins debarquer
dans la capitale
J'entrai pas aux cris
D'"A nous deux Paris"
En Ile-de-France
Que ton Rastignac
N'ait cure, Balzac !
De ma concurrence {2x}
Gens en place, dormez
Sans vous alarmer,
Rien ne vous menace
Ce n'est qu'un jeune sot
qui monte a l'assaut
du p'tit montparnasse
On n's'etonnera pas
Si mes premiers pas
tout droit me menerent
Au pont Mirabeau
pour un coup de chapeau
A l'Apolinaire {2x}
Bec enfarine
Pouvaisje deviner
Le remue-mnage
Que dans mon destin
Causerait soudain
Ce plerinage ?
Que circonvenu
Mon coeur ingenu
Allait faire des siennes
Tomber amoureux
De sa toute pre-
miere Parisienne.{2x}
N'anticipons pas,
Sur la berge en bas
Tout contre une pile,
La belle tchait
D' fair' des ricochets
D'un' main malhabile
Moi, dans ce temps-la
Je n' dis pas cela
En bombant le torse,
L'air avantageux
J'tais a ce jeu
De premire force. {2x}
Tu m' donn's un baiser,
Ai-je propose
A la demoiselle;
Et moi, sans retard
J' t'apprends de cet art
Toutes les ficelles.
Affaire conclue,
En une heure elle eut,
L'adresse requise.
En change, moi
J' cueillis plein d'moi
Ses lvres exquises. {2x}
Et durant un temps
Les journaux d'antan
D'ailleurs le relatent
Fallait se lever
Matin pour trouver
Une pierre plate.
On redessina
Du pont d'Iena
Au pont Alexandre
Jusqu' Saint-Michel,
Mais notre echelle,
La carte du tendre. {2x}
Mais c'tait trop beau:
Au pont Mirabeau
La belle volage
Un jour se perchait
Sur un ricochet
Et gagnait le large.
Elle me fit faux-bond
Pour un vieux barbon,
La petite ingrate,
Un Crsus vivant
Detail aggravant
Sur la rive droite. {2x}
J'en pleurai pas mal,
Le flux lacrymal
Me fit la quinzaine.
Au viaduc d'Auteuil
Parait qu'a vue d'?il
Grossissait la Seine.
Et si, pont d' l'Alma,
J'ai pas noyé ma
Detresse ineffable,
C'est qu' l'eau coulant sous
Les pieds du zouzou
était imbuvable. {2x}
Et que j'avais acquis
Cette conviction qui
Du reste me navre
Que mort ou vivant
Ce n'est pas souvent
Qu'on arrive au havre.
Nous attristons pas,
Allons de ce pas
Donner, debonnaires,
Au pont Mirabeau
Un coup de chapeau
A l'Apollinaire. {2x}
