Le navire acoste au quai,
Je suis invité
Chez le Duc
De Montmorency
Qui demeure ici.
Château, villas, maisons superbes
Jardins fleuris,
Bel aqueduc,
Jeunes poulains sautant les herbes,
Tout cela, tout cela est au Duc
Et sur les marches du perron,
Douze laquais chantent en rond :
"Attention !
Tout est Duc ici, Monsieur,
Tout est Duc,
Tout est au Duc,
Tout est au Duc.
Il possède à lui seul des millions de ducats
Ah oui, vraiment Monsieur,
C'est fou ce que le Duc a !
Le Duc a tout, Monsieur,
Pour être un homme heureux
Mais le Duc est très malheureux :
Depuis vingt ans
Il a perdu ses cheveux.
Il nerveux, il est nerveux
Et nous cherchons, en vain, depuis un truc
Pour faire pousser les poils du Duc."
Le soir, c'est un grand dîner
Car le Duc a tué
A la chasse des isards,
Des pies, des lézards.
La Duchesse est une jeune femme
Qui n'a pas plus de vingt printemps
Et moi je suis tout feu tout flamme
Et je ne tiens plus mon coeur battant.
Mais sur les marches du perron,
Les mêmes laquais chantent en rond :
"Attention !
Tout est Duc ici, Monsieur,
Tout est Duc
Tout est au Duc,
Tout est au Duc.
Il tue les gens qui osent à sa femme dire "tu".
Ah oui, vraiment Monsieur,
C'est fou lorsque le Duc tue !
Le Duc a tué déjà plus de trente rivaux
Il leur a bouffé le cerveau
Alors tant pis pour vous, mon cher Monsieur,
Si vous êtes trop audacieux
Songez hélas qu'on peut devenir eunuque
En recevant le pied du Duc."
Quand je revins au château
On me dit bientôt :
"Vous trouverez du changement,
Depuis vingt-cinq ans !"
Papiers timbrés, huissiers terribles
Saisies-arrêts du percepteur
Murs délabrés, trucs impossibles,
Tout cela, tout cela, quel malheur !
Et sur les marches du perron
Un seul miteux chantait en rond :
"Déception !
Rien n'est au Duc
Ici, Monsieur,
Rien n'est au Duc,
Rien n'est au Duc,
Rien n'est au Duc !
Elle lui a mangé son argent la p'tite nana
Ah oui, vraiment Monsieur,
C'est fou ce que le Duc n'a
Le Duc n'a rien, Monsieur !
Nos bas sont rapiécés,
Nos culottes sont toutes froissées,
Nous avons faim,
Nous sommes capables de tout
Et s'il n'y a rien,
Plus rien du tout,
Il faudra bien qu'on lui fauche sa perruque
Et nous boufferons les poils du Duc.
Charles Trenet (Louis Charles Auguste Claude Trenet), born May 18, 1913, in Narbonne and died February 19, 2001, in Créteil, was a highly successful French singer-songwriter. His career began in the 1930s and reached its peak between the late 1930s and the mid-1950s, although it continued until the 1990s. Trenet distinguished himself by writing most of his songs, refusing to record songs composed by other artists during a period when it was rare for singers to write their own material. Among his most famous successes are "La Mer", "Boum!" and "Y'a d'la joie". Trenet helped define the sound of French chanson, influencing generations of artists.
