4. La Chèvre  [sung text not yet checked]
Personne ne lit la feuille du Journal officiel affichée au mur de la mairie. Si, la chèvre. Elle se dresse sur ses pattes de derrière, appuie celles de devant au bas de l’affiche, remue ses cornes et sa barbe, et agite la tête de droite et de gauche, comme une vieille dame qui lit. Sa lecture finie, ce papier sentant bon la colle fraîche, la chèvre le mange. [Tout ne se perd pas dans]1 la commune.

5. Le Chat  [sung text not yet checked]
I
Le mien ne mange pas les souris ; [il n’aime pas ça]1.
Il n’en attrape que pour jouer avec.
Quand il a bien joué, il lui fait grâce de la vie,
et il va rêver ailleurs, l’innocent,
assis dans la boucle de sa queue,
la tête bien fermée comme un [poing]2.
Mais à cause des griffes, la souris est morte.
