Et Moi De M'en Courir

Topics: classic

En passant dans un p'tit bois,     O le coucou chantait,     O le coucou chantait;     Dans son joli chant il disait:     Coucou, coucou, coucou, coucou,     Et moi qui croyais qu'il disait;     Cass'-lui le cou, cass'-lui le cou!     Et moi de m'en cour', cour', cour',     Et moi de m'en courir!     En passant auprs d'un tang,     O les canards chantaient,     O les canards chantaient;     Dans leur joli chant ils disaient:     "Cancan, cancan, cancan, cancan,"     Et moi qui croyais qu'ils disaient,     "Jett'-le dedans, jett'-le dedans,"     Et moi de m'en cour', cour', cour',     Et moi de m'en courir!     En passant devant une maison,     O la bonn' femm' chantait,     O la bonn' femm' chantait;     Dans son joli chant ell' disait:     "Dodo, dodo, dodo, dodo,"     Et moi qui croyais qu'elle disait,     "Cass'-lui les os, cass'-lui les os,"     Et moi de m'en cour', cour', cour',     Et moi de m'en courir!
