This one has been driving me crazy for the past week. I can't remember the 2nd verse to save my life. It's from 1946-7, and the artist was Bourvil. If anyone knows the complete lyrics, I'd be forever indebted.

This song, by Jacques Bertin, 1947, has been removed from the texts at www.paroles.net (the great French lyrics site) at the request of the copyright holders, Paul Beuscher Editions, who requested that it be removed from the internet on 01/07/2003.

I hope that you can find someone who copied the text before that date or who has the recording.

A little messed up by overprint, but I think you will be able to copy them at this Yves Montand site: Bicyclette

Ceaseless thanks, Q. The version I remember is a little different, but the Montand site jump-started the brain.
