Il était un p'tit homme, qui s'app'lait Guillery, carabi, Il s'en fut à la chasse, à la chasse aux perdrix, carabi, Titi carabi, toto carabo, compère Guillery, Te laîras-tu mouri? Il monta sur un arbre, pour voir ses chiens couri, carabi, La branche vint à rompre, et Guillery tombit, carabi, Titi carabi, Pouf! pouf! carabi, compère Guillery, Te laîras-tu mouri? Il se cassa la jambe, et le bras se démit, carabi. Les dam's de l'hôpitale sont accourues au bruit, carabi, Titi carabi, toto, carabo, compère Guillery, Te laîras-tu mouri? On lui banda la jambe et le bras lui remit, carabi, Pour remercier ces dames, Guill'ry les embrassit, carabi, Titi carabi, toto carabo, compère Guillery, Te laîras-tu mouri?
