Y´en a qui élèvent des gosses au fond des hlm
Y´en a qui roulent leurs bosses du Brésil en Ukraine
Y´en a qui font la noce du côté d´Angoulême
Et y´en a même qui militent dans la rue avec tracts et banderoles
Et y´en a qui en peuvent plus de jouer les sex symbols
Y´en a qui vendent l´amour au fond de leur bagnole

Mademoiselle chante le blues
Soyez pas trop jalouses
Mademoiselle boit du rouge
Mademoiselle chante le blues

Y´en a huit heures par jour qui tapent sur des machines
Y´en a qui font la cour masculine féminine
Y´en a qui lèchent les bottes comme on lèche des vitrines
Et y´en a même qui font du cinéma, qu´on appellent Marilyn
Mais Marilyn Dubois s´ra jamais Norma Jean
Faut pas croire que l´talent c´est tout c´qu´on s´imagine

Elle a du gospel dans la voix et elle y croit

Y´en a qui s´font bonne sœur, avocat, pharmacienne
Y´en a qui ont tout dit quand elles ont dit je t´aime
Y´en a qui sont vieilles filles du côté d´Angoulême
Y´en a même qui jouent femmes libérées
Petit joint et gardénal qui mélangent vie en rose et image d´Epinal
Qui veulent se faire du bien sans jamais s´faire du mal
