Sous le ciel de Paris S'envole une chanson Hum Hum Elle est née d'aujourd'hui Dans le cœur d'un garçon Sous le ciel de Paris Marchent des amoureux Hum Hum Leur bonheur se construit Sur un air fait pour eux Sous le pont de Bercy Un philosophe assis Deux musiciens quelques badauds Puis les gens par milliers Sous le ciel de Paris Jusqu'au soir vont chanter Hum Hum L'hymne d'un peuple épris De sa vieille cité Près de Notre Dame Parfois couve un drame Oui mais à Paname Tout peut s'arranger Quelques rayons Du ciel d'été L'accordéon D'un marinier L'espoir fleurit Au ciel de Paris Sous le ciel de Paris Coule un fleuve joyeux Hum Hum Il endort dans la nuit Les clochards et les gueux Sous le ciel de Paris Les oiseaux du Bon Dieu Hum Hum Viennent du monde entier Pour bavarder entre eux Et le ciel de Paris A son secret pour lui Depuis vingt siècles il est épris De notre Ile Saint Louis Quand elle lui sourit Il met son habit bleu Hum Hum Quand il pleut sur Paris C'est qu'il est malheureux Quand il est trop jaloux De ses millions d'amants Hum Hum Il fait gronder sur nous Son tonnerre éclatant Mais le ciel de Paris N'est pas longtemps cruel Hum Hum Pour se faire pardonner Il offre un arc en ciel
