Vous connaissez l'histoire, nous bûchions au chantier
Loin de nos êtres chers, dix gars ben esseulés
Dans notre désespoir, le soir du jour de l'An
Nous avons fait, ciboère, un pacte avec Satan
Dans le ciel du pays, le canot fendit l'air
Et nous menant ravis, aux maisons de nos pères
Toute la nuit en famille nous pûmes rire et boire
Mais sans toucher aux filles, le diable veut rien savoir
C'est moé l'plus jeune des dix, dans ce canot maudit
Volant par maléfice, au-dessus de vos vies
Épargnez vos prières, mes parents, mes amis
Je suis un beau torvis, Martin d'la chasse-galerie Extrait sonore

Mais moé toujours plus saoul, fantasque et fanfaron
Plus prime aux mauvais coups que mes vieux compagnons
Au moment des adieux, j'entraînai Marion
La plus belle des lieux, dans un baiser profond
C'est là qu'l'histoire se fucke, car le grand Lucifer
Pour comble de bad luck, checkait du haut des airsMartin mon escogriffe, t'as voulu faire ton frais
Asteure on est kif-kif, vous en r'viendrez jamais
En nous voyant penauds, chuter jusqu'aux enfers
Dans notre maudit canot, l'bon Dieu était pas fier
Ma gang de sans-génie, l'Malin vous a pincé
Y m'reste qu'à vous souhaiter, une belle éternité
Quand même je s'rai bon diable, et au lieu d'en enfer
J'vous enverrai dans l'ciel, ça f'ra suer Lucifer
Mais c'est pas l'paradis, ce ciel dont je vous parle
C'est un p'tit peu plus gris, c'est l'ciel de Montréal
Voilà pourquoi bonnes gensses, depuis ce jour fatal
Nous flottons en errance entre Longueuil et Laval
Condamnés pour toujours à contempler de haut
Vos peines et vos amours, vos chars et votre métro
Jeune fille au pas léger, flânant rue St-Denis
Si un jour entendez un sifflet impoli
Ne soyez pas rebelle, quelqu'un vous trouve jolie
Regardez vers le ciel, c'est Martin qui s'ennuie
C'est moé l'plus jeune des dix, dans ce canot maudit
Volant par maléfice, au-dessus de vos vies
Épargnez vos prières, mes parents, mes amis
Je suis un beau torvis, Martin d'la chasse-galerie
