Eh! Bonjour Madame Tartine
Language: French (Français) 
Eh ! bonjour, madame Tartine,
Vendez-vous des macarons ?
Dans votre palais de farine
J'viens ach'ter des p'tits marrons ...
Je les vends un,
Je les vends deux,
Je les vends trois,
Je les vends quatr',
Je les vends cinq sous la douzaine,
Ton ton, ton ton, ton taine!

Eh ! bonjour, madame Tartine, 
Vendez-vous des p’tits oignons ? 
Dans votre palais de farine, 
J’viens ach’ter des p’tits pigeons.
Je les vends un, etc.

Eh ! bonjour, madame Tartine, 
Vendez-vous des p’tits garçons? 
Dans votre palais de farine, 
J’viens ach’ter un petit blond.
Je les vends un, etc.

Eh ! bonsoir, madame Tartine, 
C’est trop cher, vos p’tits fripons : 
Gardez les dans votre cuisine,
Et fait’s en des marmitons. 
Gardez-en un,
Gardez-en deux,
Gardez-en trois,
Gardez-en quatr'!
Gardez bien toute la douzaine, 
Ton ton, ton ton, ton taine!
