Où le coq a‑t‑il la plume? Matches base text
Language: French (Français)
Où le coq a-t-il la plume? Pas au bout du bec; Le bois n'est pas sec, La cheminée fume; Où le coq a-t-il la plume? Dans les doigts de la servante Qui l'arrachent au croupion bleu; Où le coq a-t-il la plume? L'eau dans la marmite chante Sur le feu. Où le coq a-t-il la plume? Sur le vieux volant de bois Qu'on jette jusqu'en haut Du toit; La cheminée fume Et la soupe bout sans bruit dans le pot: Où le coq a-t-il la plume?
