La Chèvre
 (Sung text for setting by I. Aboulker)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
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.

Rien ne se perd dans la commune.
