THE SKY-LARK. 189
Sur 1'orielle ma cocarde,
Mon briquet a raon cote,
Quand j'porte un billet de garde,
Comme j'srappe avee fierte.
Eh v'lan, rataplan taplan,
Maint 'portiere me regarde,
Eh v'lan rataplan taplan,
C'que c'est qu'd'avoir du talent.
Je suis, &c.
Certain mari m'donne la piece,
Pour lui porter un billet,
II est d'gard'chez sa maitresse, , -
Mais sa femme connait l'secret.
En v'lan rataplan taplan,
Au remplacant ell' s'addresse,
Eh v'lan rataplan taplan,
; C'que c'est qu'd'avoir du talent.
Je suis, &c.
A la garde descendante,
Passant devant sa maison,
JVois un bizet qui s'absente,
Vite je fais carillon,
Eh v'lan rataplan taplan,
D'l'avis sa femme est contente,
Eh v'lan rataplan taplan,
C'que c'est qu'd'avoir du talent.
Je suis, &c.
