- L'hotel Particulier LyricsAu cinquante-six, sept, huit, peu importe
De la rue X, si vous frappez à la porte
D'abord un coup, puis trois autres, on vous laisse entrer
Seul et parfois même accompagné.
Une servante, sans vous dire un mot, vous précède
Des escaliers, dess couloirs sans fin se succèdent
Décorés de bronzes baroques, d'anges dorés,
D'aphrodites et de Salomés.
S'il est libre, dites que vous voulez le quarante-quatre
C'est la chambre qu'ils appellent ici de Cléopâtre
Dont les colonnes du lit de style rococo
Sont des nègres portant des flambeaux.
Entre ces esclaves nus taillés dans l'ébène
Qui seront les témoins muets de cette scène
Tandis que là-haut un miroir nous réfléchit,
Lentement j'enlace Melody.
