Si toutes les filles du monde voulaient s'donner la main, tout autour de la mer elles pourraient faire une ronde. Si tous les gars du monde voulaient bien êtr' marins, ils f'raient avec leurs barques un joli pont sur l'onde. Alors on pourrait faire une ronde autour du monde, si tous les gens du monde voulaient s'donner la main.
