Eh, yé yaïe! Jolie fille, tu connais chère bébé,
Si ton nègre te donne le doigt, tu fais trop la canaille.
Tu connais, chère bébé, quoi faire donc t'es comme ça?
Moi, j'suis pris dans autant de chagrin que moi, j'suis toujours dedans.
Quand ton sucre, il est là, toi tu fais ta vieille canaille.
Quand ton sucre, il est pas là, braillez, braillez pour moi.
Tu connais je peux pas dormir, je peux pas manger, je peux pas m'assire.
C'est par rapport de les 'tites filles, 'tites filles de grand Gueydan.
