Elle est à toi cette chanson
Toi l'étranger qui sans façons
D'un air malheureux m'as souri
Lorsque les gendarmes m'ont pris
Toi qui n'as pas applaudi quand
Les croquantes et les croquants
Tous les gens bien intentionnés
Riaient de me voir emmener
Ce n'était rien qu'un peu de miel
Mais il m'avait chauffé le coeur
Et dans mon âme il brûle encore
A la manière d'un grand soleil
Toi l'étranger quand tu mourras
Quand le croque-mort t'emporteras
Qu'il te conduise à travers ciel
Au père éternel.
(G. Brassens in Chanson pour l’auvergnat)

- Bien sûr, mais supposez que ce soit le contraire !
répliqua Shaw..
