1. Fumée

Saute à travers les anneaux.

2. Fête de Bordeaux
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Le manège à vapeur regarde s'en aller 
Interminablement le paquebot "Touraine" 
Il donnerait tout l'or de sa gloire foraine 
Pour défaire sur l'eau son voyage enroulé.

3. Fête de Montmartre
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Ne vous balancez pas si fort 
Le ciel est à tout le monde 
Marin d'eau douce la nuit profonde 
Se moque de vos ancres d'or 
Et boit debout en silence 
Comme du papier buvard 
Votre dos bleu qui encense 
Puissamment le boulevard.
