Le temps des puces


Il n'est pas loin, le temps des puces,
Où l'on s'ach'tait des frocs anglais.
Ça finissait souvent chez Luce
Devant les moules et l'muscadet.
Y avait l'ancien l'champion d'boxe
Et son foutu accordéon.
Y pouvait pas piffer l'juk boxe,
Les poulagas, ni le néon.

(Refrain)
Valsez les gars,
Votre vie à l'endroit,
Mais fait 's gaffe aux revers,
Quand ça tourne à l'envers.

Il n'est pas loin, le temps des puces.
Y avait l'patron, François beaux yeux
Et l'légionnaire, fleur de Lotus,
Qui exhibait sa poitrin' bleue.
Enfants d'la lune ou fils de pute,
Ils avaient tous le coeur béant.
Chacun offrait son parachute
A celui qui avait mauvais temps.
(Refrain)

Il n'est pas loin, le temps des puces,
Des frites blondes et du lilas.
Où es-tu passée, ma tendre puce,
Ma p'tit' fleur bleue des grands galas ?
Où est donc ta bouche aux mille cerises
Et tes grands yeux aux mille lacs ?
Il flotte encor' sur ma chemise
Un poivre doux aphrodisiaque.

(Refrain)

Il n'est pas loin, le temps des puces
Où l'on s'ach'tait des frocs anglais.
Ça finissait souvent chez Luce,
Devant les moules et l'muscadet.
On a payé nos p'tit's astuces
Dix ans c'est long ça s'rattrap' pas.
Tu étais jolie, on t'app'lait Puce
Et je ne te reverrai pas.

(Refrain)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics LE TEMPS DES PUCES of PIERRE PERRET is also present in the album La cage aux oiseaux (2002)
