Le capitaine de Saint-Malo
Ali alo
Qui fait la pêche aux cachalots
Ali ali, ali alo, Ali alo
Il donne la goutte à ses matelots
Ali alo
À grands coups de barre de guindeau
Ali ali, ali alo, Ali alo
Il mange la viande, nous laisse les os
Ali alo
Il boit du vin et nous de l'eau
Ali ali, ali alo, Ali alo
Et son second, qui est un salaud
Ali alo
Il fume le cigare et nous laisse les mégots
Ali ali, ali alo, Ali alo
Il a trois filles qui font la peau
Ali alo
À Nantes, au Havre et à Frisco
Ali ali, ali alo, Ali alo
À la manœuvre le bosco
Ali alo
Te dresse à coups de cabillot!
Ali ali, ali alo, Ali alo
Le lieutenant t'envoie là-haut
Ali alo
À coups de bottes dans le dos
Ali ali, ali alo, Ali alo
Et le second qui est le plus beau
Ali alo
Si tu groumes, te fout à l’eau
Ali ali, ali alo, Ali alo
