Les anges les anges dans le ciel
L'un est vêtu en officier
L'un est vêtu en cuisinier
Et les autres chantent

Bel officier couleur du ciel
Le doux printemps longtemps après Noël
Te médaillera
D'un beau soleil.

Le cuisinier plume les oies
Ah! tombe neige
Tombe et que n'ai je
Ma bien-aimée entre mes bras
