- two perforated white sheets handwritten in blue ballpoint pen by Boris Vian with numerous crossings-out and corrections
- one perforated sheet typed on machine, clean copy of the manuscript.This song, whose title recalls the famous "Pianocktail" from
L'Ecume des jours, was not performed during the author's lifetime. The hip hop fanfare NMB Brass Band only gave a version of it in 2012.
Dans un quartier fréquenté par des gens argentés
Où le client ne boit que du whisky cent pour cent
Y'a un p'tit bar genre acajou ciré et le soir
Y'a un piano avec un pianiste
