FmC'était vraiment un employé modèle BbmMonsieur William
Toujours exact et toujours plein de zèle FmMonsieur William
(Fm)
Il arriva jusqu'à la quarantaine sans fredaine
(Fm)
Sans le moindre petit drame
mais un beau soir du mois D#d'août,
il faisait si beau il faiC#sait si doux
Que Monsieur William s'en allCa
flâner droit devant lui au hasard et voila!
FmMonsieur William vous manCquez de tenue,
C#qu'alliez-vous faire dans la treizième avenuFme
Il rencontra une fille bien jeunette Monsieur William
Il lui paya un bouquet de violettes Monsieur William
Il l'entraîna à l'hôtel de la pègre mais un nègre
a voulu prendre la femme
Monsieur William.hors de lui,
lui a donné des coups de parapluie
Oui mais le nègre dans le noir
lui a coupé le cou en deux coups de rasoir
Monsieur William vous manquez de tenue
qu'alliez-vous faire dans la treizième avenue
Il a senti que c'est irrémédiable Monsieur William
Il entendit déjà crier le diable Monsieur William
Aux alentours il n'y avait personne qu'un trombone
Chantant la peine des âmes
un aveugle en gémissant
Sans le savoir a marché dans le sang
puis dans la nuit a disparu
C'était p't'être le destin qui marchait dans les rues
Monsieur William vous manquez de tenue!
Vous êtes mort dans la treizième avenue.
