Les cigales crissent
Tandis que le vent
Sous les feuilles glisse
Son archet fervent
Les cigales crissent
Les cigales frottent
Maracas, crotales
L'endiablé fox-trot
Du règne animal
Les cigales frottent
Les cigales grattent
Sur leurs boîtes à rythmes
Une sorte d'hymne
De secte idolâtre
Les cigales grattent
Un oiseau sifflote
A parfait escient
Les limpides notes
Qu'adorait Messiaen
Un oiseau sifflote
Les cigales raclent
Leur vieux rock and roll
Miracle ! Miracle !
Disent les paroles
Les cigales raclent
Les cigales nettes
Comme des Carmen
Jouent des castagnettes
Sur leur abdomen
Les cigales nettes
Et le vent se pâme
En longs soubresauts
Comme une gitane
Dans un flamenco
Et le vent se pâme
Et le petit Claude
Est tout épaté
D'entendre dans l'Aude
La rhapsodie chaude
Que lui joue l'été
