8. La Java des bombes atomiques  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
I
Mon oncl' un fameux bricoleur
Faisait en amateur
Des bombes atomiques
Sans avoir jamais rien appris
C'était un vrai génie
Question travaux pratiques
Il s'enfermait tout' la journée
Au fond d'son atelier
Pour fair' ses expériences
Et le soir il rentrait cher nous
Et nous mettait en trans'
En nous racontant tout.

Pour fabriquer une bombe »A«
Mes enfants croyez-moi
C est vraiment de la tarte
La question du détonateur
S'résout et un quart d'heur'
Cest de cell's qu'on écarte
En c'qui concerne la bombe »H«
C'est pas beaucoup plus vach'
Mais un' chos' me tourmente
C est qu'cell' de me fabrication
N'ont qu un rayon d action
De trois mètres cinquante.

II
ll a bossé pendant des jours
Palpant avec amour
Ses atom's d'hydrogène
Pour se distrair' sa mèr' lui mit
Des pétards sous son lit
Mais il sourit à peine
Et puis un jour qu'il essayait
D'fair' sauter l'poulailler
Il prit tout en plein' gueule
Alors couvert de sparadrap
En buvant son tilleul
Tonton nous déclara:

A mesur' que je deviens vieux
Je m'en aperçois mieux
J'ai le cerveau qui flanche
Soyons sérieux disont le mot
C'est même plus un cerveau
C'est comm' de la sauce blanche
Voilà des mois et des années
Que j'essaye d'augmenter
La portée de ma bombe
Et je n'me suis pas rendu compt'
Gue la seul' chos' qui compt'
C'est l'endroit où s'qu'ell' tombe

III
Sachant proche le résultat
Tous les grand chefs d'Etat
Lui ont rendu visite
Il les reçut et s'excusa
De ce que sa cagna
Etait aussi petite
Mais sitôt qu'ils sont tous entrés
Il les a enfermés
En disant soyez sages
Et quand la bombe a explosé
De tous ces personnages
Il n'est plus rien resté.

Tonton devant ce résultat
Ne se dégonfla pas
Et joua les andouilles
Au Tribunal on l'a traîné
Et devant les jurés
Le voilà qui bafouille
Messieurs c'est un hasard affreux
Mais je jur' devant Dieu
En mon âme et conscience
Qu'en détruisant tous ces tordus
Je suis bien convaincu
D'avoir servi la France.

On était dans l'embarras
Alors on l'condamna
Et puis on l'amnistia
Et l'pays reconnaissant
Lui fit immédiat'ment
El'ver un monument.
