Po po po po, dis !
Mon ami Angelo
A traîné la savate
Dans les petites rues
Où chantait Bab-el-Oued
Parmi les murs tout blancs
Quand le soleil éclate
Ecrasant la Casbah
Et desséchant le bled
Marius et Denis
Ils disaient que le Nord
Commençait juste après
Les tours de Carcassonne
Et le voilà jeté
Par le coquin de sort
Sous des ciels de printemps
Qui lui semblent d'automne
Ma Patrie
J'ai tout laissé là-bas
Quand j'ai fait la valise
Mais comme les autres y disentPo po po po Inch'Allah
Parole d'honneur mon frère
C'est dur de tout quitter
Abandonnant la terre
Où t'avais tant semé
Soleil, soleil de mon pays si beau
Tu fais rien qu'tomber en morceaux
-"la purée d'nous autres"-
Tu fais la fête qu'aux escargots
Po po po po dis !
Faut arrêter de s'attendrir
La scoumoune pourrait revenir
On lui avait appris
Dans sa petite école
Que ses ancêtres blonds
S'appelaient Les Gaulois
Et pendant des années
Il l'a cru sur parole
Lui qui est à peu près blond
Comme Enrico Macias
Titi d'autres faubourgs
Il a cherché Gavroche
Mais ils se sont compris
Parfois bien de travers
Si ses espoirs souvent
Sont partis en brioche
Il sait des oasis
Au milieu du désert
Ma Patrie
D'amis y a pas besef (1)
Monsieur Corneille peut-être
Les voit comme y doivent être
Mais ça, c'est des tchaleffes (2)
La vie c'est la kémia (3)
De l'auberge espagnole
Ce que t'apporte, ma parole,
Compte avant tout sur ça
Merguez, merguez de mon si beau pays
C'est pas les hot-dogs de Paris
Qui me rendront mon appétit
Po po po po dis !
On va s'taper une belle bouffa (4)
la vie qui vient nous tend les bras
Lorsque j'ai des soucis
Mon ami le pied-noir
Je m'en viens inspirer
Dans l'air que tu déplaces
Et c'est toi l'exilé
Oubliant ta disgrâce
Qui me donne en riant
Une leçon d'espoir
Po po po po dis !
