Il tait un' bergre,     Et ron, ron, ron, petit patapon;     Il tait un' bergre,     Qui gardait ses moutons,     Ron, ron,     Qui gardait ses moutons.     Elle fit un fromage,     Et ron, ron, ron, petit patapon;     Elle fit un fromage     Du lait de ses moutons,     Ron, ron,     De lait de ses moutons.     Le chat qui la regarde,     Et ron, ron, ron, petit patapon;     Le chat qui la regarde     D'un petit air fripon,     Ron, ron,     D'un petit air fripon.     Si tu y mets la patte     Et ron, ron, ron, petit patapon,     Si tu y mets la patte     Tu auras du bton,     Ron, ron,     Tu auras du bton.     Il n'y mit pas la patte,     Et ron, ron, ron, petit patapon;     Il n'y mit pas la patte,     Il y mit le menton,     Ron, ron,     Il y mit le menton.
