When my uncle Léon died
I inherited his accordion
I put all my ardor into it
Alas I was more in tune with the times
I missed the boat
That's what's ugly
My fiancée was pretty
She tells me eleven o'clock at the town hall
When I arrived at the midday train
She introduced me to her husband
I missed the mark once again
I missed the boat, knock on wood
I found a big wallet
At the Grand Hôtel Dieu what a welcome!
When I showed up to pay
The tickets were expired
I missed the boat
That's what's ugly
Like a thief I was judged
Basically I wasn't complaining about anything
A prisoner eats well
It was complete, I was acquitted
Some talents are attributed to me
I went to find Paris
To communicate my prices to him
Alas Paris was absent
I missed the boat
That's what's ugly
I had my pockets full of hope
Now it's ugly I see everything black
Leave Gavroche all his glory
You're just a puppet, you're just a fool
As I know myself I think well
That it will last all my life
It's my nature, I can't do anything about it
I'm missing the boat, it comes from the family
(…)
That's what's ugly
That's what's ugly
That's what's ugly
