Si j'étais général, si j'étais général
Ah ! Si je commandais dans l'Armée française
Si j'avais des étoiles
Nom d'un p'tit caporal
On danserait toute la journée
Dans la chambrée
Si j'étais général, si j'étais général
J'aurais pour moi le soutien de l'Armée française
J' maintiendrais, croyez-moi
Le moral du soldat et les p'tits gars
Seraient tous amoureux de moi
Si j' suis un homme
C'est parce que j' veux pas quitter mon homme
J' le suis partout et depuis qu'il est soldat
J' m'habille en homme
Pour faire comme si j'étais un p'tit homme
Je marche au pas, j' traîne le barda
Mais croyez-moi !
Si j'étais général, si j'étais général
Et toi, chéri, soldat dans l'Armée française
J' te collerais des corvées, histoire de rigoler
J' te f'rais ramper, j' te f'rais frotter
Tous les souliers
Si j'étais général, le bonheur conjugal
Ah ! Quelle merveille alors dans l'Armée française
Ça s'rait sous le clairon, pas comme à la maison
Et l'on verrait qui est-ce qui port'rait les galons
Si j' suis un homme
C'est pourtant pas parce que la soupe est bonne
Mais mon amour, que deviendrais-tu sans moi ?
Il faut voir comme ils font la cuisine, les bonshommes
Quand ils n'ont pas leur femme
Pour s'occuper de ça
Si j'étais général, si j'étais général
J'inviterais toutes mes copines à la caserne
Je donnerais des cocktails, toi, tu f'rais la vaisselle
Ah ! Quelle merveille !
Mais il faut que je me réveille
Je n' suis pas général, je n' suis pas général
Rien n'est changé dans notre Armée française
C'est comme à la maison, je recouds les boutons
Je monte la garde lorsque tu pars en permission
Si j'étais général, si j'étais général
Ah ! Si je commandais dans l'Armée française
Si j'avais des étoiles, nom d'un p'tit caporal
Y aurait d' la joie dans le barda
Et pourquoi pas ?
