Reproche tendre

Si je veux prendre un baiser, 
Tu refuses, 
Si je veux prendre un baiser!
Si je reste sans l’oser, 
Tu m’accuses!

L’amour qu’on rêve est plus doux, 
Madeleine! Ô Madeleine!
L’amour qu’on rêve est plus doux, plus doux.

Serions aussi bien chez nous
Pour filer à deux la laine; 
Point n’était vraiment la peine 
de prendre ici rendez-vous.

Mon souhait aventureux 
T’encolère, 
Mon souhait aventureux!
Mon respect n’est plus heureux 
À te plaire!

L’amour qu’on rêve est plus doux, 
Madeleine, Ô Madeleine!
