J'ai connu des Noëls, à l'écart de la ville
Où l'on partait, joyeux, des torches à la main
C'était avant l'avion, avant l'automobile
Et le froid nous mordait par les petits chemins
L'église toute entière illuminée de cierges
Tremblait de tous ses murs pendant "Minuit, Chrétiens"
Car nous venions nombreux prier la Sainte Vierge
C'était mieux qu'au théâtre et ça ne coûtait rien
{Refrain:}
Noëls d'autrefois
Vous aviez une âme
Un je-ne-sais-quoi
Noëls d'autrefois
Nous faisions, au retour, un vrai repas de fête
Ma mère cuisinait, j'étais le marmiton
Mon père pétrissait de la pâte à galette
On embrochait un porc et cinq ou six chapons
Dans la salle où trônait un sapin formidable
Décoré de bougies et de papier d'argent
Pour avoir le menton à hauteur de la table
Des tripotées d'enfants se hissaient sur les bancs
{au Refrain}
A présent, nous avons des sapins en plastique
La neige est fabriquée par un atomiseur
La bougie a fait place à l'ampoule électrique
La bûche sort tout droit de chez le confiseur
Plus besoin de sortir, la messe est retransmise
Par toutes les radios et la télévision
Nous avons Monseigneur en direct de l'église
Et quand on a sommeil, on tourne le bouton
Noëls d'autrefois
Toute mon enfance
Tient dans ces mots-là
Noëls d'autrefois
