Moi j'aime le music-hall
Ses jongleurs, ses danseuses légères
Et le public qui rigole
Quand il voit des petits chiens blancs portant faux col
Moi, j'aime tous les samedis
Quand Paris allume ses lumières
Prendre vers huit heures et demie
Un billet pour être assis
Au troisième rang pas trop loin
Et déjà voilà le rideau rouge
Qui bouge, qui bouge, bouge
L'orchestre attaque un air ancien du temps de Mayol
Bravo c'est drôle, c'est très drôle
Ça c'est du bon souvenir
Du muguet qui ne meure pas, cousine
Ah ! comme elles poussaient des soupirs
Les jeunes fillettes d'antan
Du monde ou d'l'usine
Qui sont devenues à présent
De vieilles grand-mamans
Ce fut vraiment Félix Mayol
Le bourreau des cœurs de leur music-hall
Mais depuis mille neuf cent
Si les jongleurs n'ont pas changé
Si les petits toutous frémissants
Sont restés bien sages sans bouger
Debout dans une pose peu commode
Les chansons ont connu d'autres modes.
Et s'il y a toujours Maurice Chevalier,
Édith Piaf, Tino Rossi et Charles Trenet
Il y a aussi et Dieu merci,
Patachou, Brassens, Léo Ferré.
Moi, j'aime le music-hall
C'est le refuge des chanteurs poètes
Ceux qui se montent pas du col
Et qui restent pour ça de grandes gentilles vedettes
Moi j'aime Juliette Gréco
Mouloudji, Ulmer, les Frère Jacques
J'aime à tous les échos
Charles Aznavour, Gilbert Bécaud
J'aime les boulevards de Paris
Quand Yves Montand qui sourit
Les chante et ça m'enchante
J'adore aussi ces grands garçons
De la chanson,
Les Compagnons
Ding, ding, dong
Ça c'est du music-hall
On dira tout c'qu'on peut en dire
Mais ça restera toujours toujours l'école
Où l'on apprend à mieux voir,
Entendre, applaudir, à s'émouvoir
En s'fendant de larmes ou de rire.
Voilà pourquoi, la, do, mi, sol,
J'aim'rai toujours le music-hall
J'aim'rai toujours, toujours, toujours,
Toujours, toujours, le music-hall.
Charles Trenet (Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet), born May 18, 1913, in Narbonne and died February 19, 2001, in Créteil, was a highly successful French singer-songwriter. His career began in the 1930s and reached its peak between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, although it continued until the 1990s. Trenet distinguished himself by writing most of his songs, refusing to record songs composed by other artists during a period when it was rare for singers to write their own material. Among his most famous successes are "La Mer", "Boum!" and "Y'a d'la joie". Trenet helped define the sound of French chanson, influencing generations of artists.
