by Léon-Émile Petitdidier (1839 - 1927), as Émile Blémont

Marton
 (Sung text for setting by J. Roques)
 See base text
Language: French (Français) 
Sous son bonnet de coton
Et sa jupe de futaine,
Tictintaine !
Qu'elle est vaillante, Marton,
Tictintaine, tictinton !

Qu'on soit Picard ou Breton,
Marton n'est pas puritaine,
Tictintaine !
Marton n'est pas en carton,
Tictintaine, tictinton !

 ... 

Elle a trois poils au menton
Et boit comme un Capitaine,
Tictintaine !
Qui revient de Charenton,
Tictintaine, tictinton !

Son cerveau de hanneton
Le soir court la pretantaine,
Tic tin taine,
A cheval sur un bâton,
Tic tin ton.
