Un étranger est arrivé un beau soir
De son pipeau il tirait des sons bizarres
Ses cheveux longs lui donnaient l'air d'un vagabond
En ce temps-là, la ville était envahie
Par tous les rats venus du fond du pays
Privés de pain, les habitants mouraient de faim
Le musicien leur dit : "Si vous le voulez
Je peux sur l'heure du fléau vous délivrer"
Pour mille écus, le marché fut bientôt conclu
Devant l'église, il joua de son pipeau
Comme un berger pour rassembler le troupeau
Et de partout les rats sortirent de leur trou
On vit les rats qui le suivaient dans les rues
Chemin faisant, ils étaient cent mille et plus
Il les mena à la rivière et les noya
"C'est un sorcier". s'écrièrent les bourgeois
Tout le village déjà le désignait du doigt
À coups de pierres et sans argent ils le chassèrent
Tout le village dormait paisiblement
Lorsque soudaint on entendit dans le vent
Un doux refrain que les enfants connaissaient bien
Les petits enfants dans leur chemise de nuit
Cherchaient le vent et le pipeau dans la nuit
Ils arrivèrent à la rivière et se noyèrent
