Les Cowboys Fringants
Shooters!
La cinquante a ben sonné
Au propre comme au figuré
Normand est affalé su'l plancher
Yves qui a encaissé la droite
Est encore debout sur ses pattes
Mais aujourd'hui y fait moins sont smatte
Faut dire qu'ils l'ont pas vu v'nir
Ce coup parti sans avertir
Qui est venu knocker leur avenir
Quand y z'ont appris la nouvelle
La shop qui ferme c'est sans appel
Ils sont sortis d' l'usine le cul su' a pelle
Shooters! Pour les nouveaux chômeurs
Shoosters! Pour les bons travailleurs
Shooters! Apporte toute la bouteille
qu'on s'nèye
Donne nous à boire st-ciboire!
À soir on a les idées noires!
Normand qui est ben déprimé
Vient d'voir sa retraite s'envoler
Comme son mariage y a 6 mois passés
« Quand t'as donné 30 ans d' ta vie
À une femme et une compagnie
T'as l'feeling d'être cocu en esti »
« Comme tu veux te r 'placer
Rendu à 50 ans passés
Quand ton expérience est ton seul papier »
Y a eu sa montre en or plaqué
Sa prime de r'traite anticipée
Pi y' ont dit va vider ton casier
Shooters! Pour les nouveaux chômeurs
Shoosters! Pour les bons travailleurs
Shooters! Apporte toute la bouteille
qu'on s'nèye
Donne nous à boire st-ciboire!
À soir on a les idées noires!
Yves qui est mauditement paqueté
Aime mieux voir ça du bon côté
Y s'dit : mieux vaut en rire que d'en crever
« Normand moi ch'pas plus avancé
J'viens de tout réhypotéquer
À cause d' l'hostie d'cuisine à rénover »
« 45 000 piastres de moulûres
D'armoires pi de plâtre sur les murs
À c'prix là est mieux d'être belle la peinture »
« Surtout qu' j'aurai l'temps d'la r'garder
Pis qu'tous les jours elle va m'rappeler
Qu'j'ai pu une maudite cenne pour payer... »
Shooters! Pour les nouveaux chômeurs
Shoosters! Pour les bons travailleurs
Shooters! Apporte toute la bouteille
qu'on s'nèye
Donne nous à boire st-ciboire!
À soir on a les idées noires!
Adieu les projets de retraite
Le chalet vient de passer tout drette
J'viens juste de l'voir s'pousser a'ec ses raquettes
Après trente ans à faire l'ouvrage
J'penserais pas qu'on tournerait la page
En s'roulant la yeule au bar du Portage
Un jour y arrivent, y nous engagent
Pi on embarque dans l'engrenage
Comme des robots su'a ligne de montage
Y viennent icitte faire leu' profit
Pi quand tout devient décrépit
Y filent à l'anglaise aux Etats-Unis
Ok les boys dernier service
C'est la dernière que j'vous dévisse
Et pour le reste que le ciel vous bénisse
Demain y sera dur le réveil
Sûrement le pire des lend'mains d'veille
Mais pour à soir c'est la maison qui paye...
