Puisque l'on ne s'aimera jamais, il faut rire, il faut rire ! - puisque l'on ne s'aimera jamais, il faut rire et s'amuser. Si tu m'aimais, je t'aimerais, il faut rire, il faut rire ! - je t'aimerais, tu me détestes, je veux rire à en mourir. Est-ce bien la peine d'aimer ? Il faut rire, il faut rire ! - L'amour vaut-il un regret ? Il faut rire et s'amuser.
