lyrics

Il était un petit homme, pirouette, cacahouète
Il était un petit homme qui avait une drôle de maison

Sa maison est en carton, pirouette, cacahouète
Sa maison est en carton, ses escaliers sont en papier.

Ce lui qui y montra, pirouette, cacahouète
Ce lui qui y montra se cassera le bout du nez.

Le facteur qui y est monté, pirouette, cacahouète
Le facteur qui y est monté; il sest cassé le bout du nez.

Un avion à réaction, pirouette, cacahouète
Un avion à réaction a rattrapé le bout du nez.

On lui l'a raccommodé, pirouette, cacahouète
On lui l'a raccommodé avec du joli fil doré.
