by Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885)

Chantant./
Language: French (Français) 
HACQUOIL (Le Marin).
Chantant.

L’amour f— le camp comme un b —
Filant dix nœuds dans un bon lougre
En pleine mer.
La beauté passe — sarabande !
Comme passe la contrebande
A Saint-Omèr.

Mon grand-père était un grand drôle.
Tu n’irais pas à son épaule,
Tambour-major.
Et ma grand’mère — farandole ! —
Etait belle comme une idole
Dorée en or :

La dame, point avariée,
Etait duchesse et mariée
A de l’argent.
Et mon grand-père — la bourrée ! —
Lui dit. un. soir Mon adorée,
Je suis sergent.

Et mon grand-père à ma grand’mère
Proposa de faire mon père
En s’échauffant ;
Mais ma grand’mère — la gavotte !
Mais ma grand’mère était dévote,
Et fit l’enfant.
