Ah, Westminster
Fol inventeur
Aurais-tu peur
De compter jusqu'à douze ?
Dans sa triste chambre
Le petit s'endort
Il gèle à pierre fendre
Le froid le dévore
On l'a trouvé dans son lit
Mort dans un sourire
Et Jésus là-haut s'est dit
Ca m'ôte un souci
Quand fleurit le marronnier du square
Autour de nous, le printemps se prépare
De ses doigts verts, il bat le jeu
Donnant aux deux amoureux
Un as de coeur, la carte du bonheur
La première fois, sur ton tailleur bleu
Un grand foulard vert !

["The second time, I kissed your hand"]Tu sentais...

Quand
J'descends dans mon bistro
J'mets vingt ball'dans l'phono
C'est en allant acheter des nougats
Aux magasins du printemps
Que j'entendis pour la première fois
Ce cha cha cha obsédant
Un poisson d'avril
Est venu me raconter
Qu'on lui avait pris
Sa jolie corde à sauter
Toi l'inconnu(e)
Ombre entrevue
Tendre mirage
Soleil de ma vie
Emporte mes soucis
Un beau matin
En suivant la fanfare
Je vis soudain
Devant la gare
Une belle enfant
Qui vendait des mouchoirs
Pour vingt-cinq francq
Devant la gare
