Guignolot d'Saint Lazot
Language: Bourguignon 
C'ast Guignolot d'Saint Lazot !
Charchez voué dans vot goussot
Si a n'y ai pas deu trouas gros sos
Pour le povre, povre, povre
Pour le povre Guignolot.

Les trouas Rois semblablement
Ci apportent leurs présents.
Qui aura la fève noire ?
C'ast le rossignol de gloire !
Plantez ! Semez !
Jusqu'à la saison d'été !

O Madame du logis,
Recevez ce roi ici :
Donnez lui des draps ben blancs
A ce roi qui vient de naître !
Donnez lui de biaux draps blancs
Pour ce roi qu'ast tout puissant.

Oh ! ma dame de céans
Qu'on dit qui êtes si belle,
Le coutia qu'ast su la table,
Qui regarde le gâtiau ...
Coupez-le en quat'morciaux
Et donnez-moi le plus gros.

C'ast Guignolot d'Saint Lazot !
Charchez voué dans vot' goussot
Si a n'y ai pas deu trouas gros sos
Pour le povre, povre, povre,
Pour le povre Guignolot.
Hé ! Ho !
