Il regardait mon bouquet
Language: French (Français) 
Il regardait mon bouquet,
Sans doute il le désirait.
Je l'ai pris,
Et je l'ai mis à son habit.
Il rit, il rit, il rit, il rit,
Et de sa grâce, voilà,
Qu'il me présente cela.
Je le prends
Et l'embrasse à l'instant.
Pan! Maman
Me détache un bon soufflet,
Net,
Et j'ai sur le bec
Un bon coup sec.
"Pourquoi frapper cet enfant?"
Dit ce Monsieur en grondant,
"Ce baiser
Pouvait-il jamais m'offenser?"
Comme j'étais là pleurant,
Il tire encor de l'argent,
En disant: "Approchez, belle enfant,
Tenez, Prenez, Tenez, Prenez!"
J'approche et je le prends
Pour faire endêver Maman.
