On se rappelle toujours sa première amie J'ai gardé d'la mienne un souvenir pour la vie Un jour qu'il avait plu Tous deux on s'était plu Et puis on se plut de plus en plus J'lui d'mandait son nom, elle me dit "Valentine" Et comme elle prenait chaque jour la rue Custine Je pris le même chemin Et puis j'lui pris la main J'l'embrassais, enfin Elle avait de tout petits petons, Valentine, Valentine Elle avait un tout petit piton Que je tâtais à tâtons, ton-ton-tontaine Elle avait un tout petit menton, Valentine, Valentine Outre ses petits petons, son p'tit piton, son petit menton Elle était frisée comme un mouton Hier, sur le boulevard, je rencontre une grosse dame Avec de grands pieds, une taille d'hippopotame Vivement elle m'saute au cou Me crie "bonjour, mon loup" Je lui dis "pardon madame, mais qui êtes vous?" Elle me répond "mais c'est moi, Valentine" Devant son double menton, sa triple poitrine Je pensais, rempli d'effroi Qu'elle a changé, ma foi Dire qu'autre fois Elle avait de tout petits petons, Valentine, Valentine Elle avait un tout petit piton Que je tâtais à tâtons, ton-ton-tontaine Elle avait un tout petit menton, Valentine, Valentine Outre ses petits petons, son p'tit piton, son petit menton Elle était frisée comme un mouton
