L'alouette et le vieux hibou

À la jeune et vive l'alouette
Ainsi parlait un vieux hibou:
Je viens de perdre ma chouette;
Hou-ou! hou-ou!

Veux-tu devenir mon amante?
Je t'offre ma patte et mon trou,
J'ai l'oeil tendre et la voix charmante;
Hou-ou! hou-ou!

Nous aurons d'un hymen prospère,
Ce que nous prédit le coucou,
Des enfants gais comme leur père,
Hou-ou! hou-ou!
