Le coeur de la jeune Lisette

Le coeur de la jeune Lisette
Fait tic tic tic tic tic tic
C'est dit-on d'un bon pronostic;
Le coeur de Colin qui la guette
Fait tac tac tac tac tac tac tac
Ce monsieur Colin a du tac.
A son gré Lise est joliette
Le garçon plaît à la fillette
Ca se devine dans se yeux
Faut les voir quand ils sont ensemble
Lise soupire, Colin tremble
Ils n'osent s'approcher tous deux
Mais l'amour leur bat la mesure
Tic et tic et tac tic et tac tac tac;
Le coeur de Lise et de Colin
Fait plus de bruit à c'qu'on assure
Que le tic et tac d'un moulin.
