2. Pantoum négligé  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Trois petits pâtés, ma chemise brûle.
Monsieur le curé n'aime pas les os.
Ma cousine est blonde, elle a nom Ursule,
Que n'émigrons-nous vers les Palaiseaux.

Ma cousine est blonde, elle a nom Ursule,
On dirait d'un cher glaïeul sur les eaux
Vivent le muguet et la campanule!
Dodo, l'enfant do, chantez, doux fuseaux.

Que n'émigrons-nous vers les Palaiseaux.
Trois petits pâtés, un point et virgule;
On dirait d'un cher glaïeul sur les eaux;
Vivent le muguet et la campanule.

Trois petits pâtés, un point et virgule;
Dodo, l'enfant do, chantez, doux fuseaux.
La libellule erre parmi des roseaux.
Monsieur le Curé, ma chemise brûle.
