1 / I am gai. I am poet. I dvell / Rupert Street, at the fifth. I am svell. / And I sing tralala / And I love my mamma, / And the English, I speaks him quite well!
2 / "Cassez-vous, cassez-vous, cassez-vous, / O mer, sur vos froids gris cilloux!" / Ainsi traduisit Laure / Au profit d'Isadore / (Bon jeune homme, et son futur epoux.)
3 / Il existe une espinstere a Tours / Un peu vite, et qui portait toujours / Un ulster peau-de-phoque, / Un chapeau bilicoque, / Et des nicrebocquers en velours.
4 / Un marin naufrage (de Doncastre) / Pour priere, au milieu du desastre / Repetait a genoux / Ces mots simples et doux: / "Scintellez, scintellez, petit astre!"
