Pour Monsieur le savant, savant,
Qui a le prix Nobel,
Pour les autres qui dans cent ans
Nous rendront éternels,
Pour l'avion qui dans le brouillard
Retrouve son terrain,
Pour la joie de dire le soir
"À demain!":
Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci beaucoup,
Merci beaucoup,
Oh oui.
Pour ceux qui très tôt le matin
S'en vont de leur banlieue,
Et pour toi qui plantes un sapin
Bien que tu sois très vieux,
Pour le noir qui chante à Saint-Louis,
Pour le rouge à Moscou,
Pour le riz du petit Hindou
Qui a faim:
"Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci beaucoup,
Merci beaucoup,
Oh oui."
Pour Chaplin et pour Picasso,
Pour Molière et Shakespeare,
Pour les intelligents, les sots,
Les meilleurs et les pires,
Pour le diable et pour le bon Dieu
Qui s'entendent si bien,
Pour tes dents et pour tes cheveux,
Et pour rien:
"Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci beaucoup,
Merci beaucoup,
Oh oui."
Pour les secondes et pour les heures
Que nous jette le temps,
Pour l'enfant qui rit ou qui pleure,
Mais qui est bon enfant,
Pour la fille qui va donner
Son premier cri d'amour,
Pour le fils qui prend le chemin
Qui retourne:
"Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci bien,
Merci beaucoup,
Merci beaucoup,
Merci beaucoup."
