Au bord des eaux
Des damoiseaux
De Tyr
Prennent des oiseaux
Dans leurs réseaux
Pour rire, pour rire.
Un oisel est mort
Dans ce vieillot décor
De Tyr :
Qui veut jouer encor,
Qui veut jouer du cor
Pour rire, pour rire ?
Parmi les courlis
Rosely
De Tyr
N'entendra plus les tirelis
Des bengalis
Pour rire, pour rire...
Or donc, ma Douce, voici le virelai
Que les mignons varlets
De Tyr
S'amusaient jadis à violer
Sur les cordes d'argent filé
Pour rire, pour rire.
