Il y avait, il y avait
Un monsieur très entouré
Un monsieur très admiré
Un monsieur très à la page
Qui vivait dans un village
De son métier chef de gare
Et de plus roi du billard
Le champion de la contrée
Et que nul n'osait contrer
Dans le village on disait plein d'égards... gare
Monsieur Jonas
Est un as
Au billard
Faut voir
Comme il joue
Car ses coups
Sont fumants
Époustouflants
Matin et soir
Sur le comptoir
Y'a son verre
De bière
Les gens se pressent
Et acquiescent
Ses coulées
Ses coups doublés
Au coin de la bouche un mégot presqu'éteint
On croit qu'il louche pourtant il n'en est rien
Il sait très bien calculer ses effets
Il sait ce qu'il fait
Il ne se presse pas
S'énerve pas
Mais il prend
Son temps
Son jeu est sûr
Sa figure
A le sourire
Ce qui fait dire
Monsieur Jonas
Est un as
Au billard
A le voir
Les gens tout haut
Crient bravo
C'est un as
Monsieur Jonas
Il y a eu, il y a eu
Un monsieur qu'est arrivé
Un monsieur étranger
Un monsieur très à la page
Qui venait d'un autre village
Contre Jonas il joua
Et Jonas perdit cette fois
Mais ne pouvant le supporter
Un soir il s'est suicidé
Et dans le village on ne joue plus au billard... car
Le diable passe
C'est Jonas
Qui revient
Malin
Il frappe les joueurs
Qui de peur
S'évanouissent
Font une jaunisse
Il boit la bière
Casse des verres
Mange les bleus
Parbleu
Sans crier gare
Dans le billard
Tout de go
Fait des accrocs
Au lointain on entend gémir les trains
Les trains fantômes qui courent dans le matin
Sur son passage le vent balaye tout
Et crie comme un fou
Jonas, Jonas
Les villageois
Perdent la joie
Et le sommeil
Et dans leurs oreilles
Vite ils enfilent
Du coton hydrophile
Pour ne plus écouter
Un Jonas déchaîné
Qui se met à hurler
Monsieur Jonas
Est un as
Au billard
