Y´en a qui élèvent des gosses au fond des hlm Y´en a qui roulent leurs bosses du Brésil en Ukraine Y´en a qui font la noce du côté d´Angoulême Et y´en a même qui militent dans la rue avec tracts et banderoles Et y´en a qui en peuvent plus de jouer les sex symbols Y´en a qui vendent l´amour au fond de leur bagnole Mademoiselle chante le blues Soyez pas trop jalouses Mademoiselle boit du rouge Mademoiselle chante le blues Y´en a huit heures par jour qui tapent sur des machines Y´en a qui font la cour masculine féminine Y´en a qui lèchent les bottes comme on lèche des vitrines Et y´en a même qui font du cinéma, qu´on appellent Marilyn Mais Marilyn Dubois s´ra jamais Norma Jean Faut pas croire que l´talent c´est tout c´qu´on s´imagine Elle a du gospel dans la voix et elle y croit Y´en a qui s´font bonne sœur, avocat, pharmacienne Y´en a qui ont tout dit quand elles ont dit je t´aime Y´en a qui sont vieilles filles du côté d´Angoulême Y´en a même qui jouent femmes libérées Petit joint et gardénal qui mélangent vie en rose et image d´Epinal Qui veulent se faire du bien sans jamais s´faire du mal
