by Gabriel Vicaire (1849 - 1900)

Chiffon, chiffonnette
Language: French (Français) 
Chiffon, chiffonnette,
Lève, en souriant,
Ta blanche cornette
Et ton nez friand,
Chiffon, chiffonnette,
Ma jolie Annette.

Chiffon, chiffonnette,
Que de fleurs ! Holà !
L’épine vinette
N’a pas ce teint-là,
Chiffon, chiffonnette
Ce teint de nonnette.

Chiffon, chiffonnette,
J’ai lu dans tes yeux ;
Comme une rainette
Mon cœur est joyeux.
Chiffon, chiffonnette,
Êtes-vous honnête ?

Chiffon, chiffonnette,
J’ai, pour te loger,
Une maisonnette
En bois d’oranger,
Chiffon, chiffonnette,
En bois d’épinette.

Chiffon, chiffonnette,
Tra déri déra,
Bientôt, ma brunette,
Ton pied poussera,
Chiffon, chiffonnette,
La barcelonnette.
