Pas la peine de discuter j'ai reçu des instructions
Cherchez pas à m'embrouiller Content pas content, pareil
1 point c'est tout ! 2 points c'estt tout!
Je veux pas savoir tout ça c'est pas mes histoires
Est z'aviez qu'à prévoir à moi on me la fait pas
Jouez pas au plus fin Vous êtes pas sur l'bon terrain
{Refrain:}
René est con comme Un balai comme un balai, en moins poilu et plus épais
René est con comme Un balai comme un balai, en moins poilu et plus épais
Faites pas vos malins m'prenez pas pour un crétin allez jouer plus loin
Ou sinon je lache les chiens Laissez moi bosser Arrêtez d'tergiverser
5 points c'est tout! 6 points c'est tout!
Avec vos mots vous croyez m'intimider

Manquez pas d'air mais j'suis pas né d'hier
Vos belles idées vous pouvez vous les garder
{au Refrain}
Fallait pas, fallait pas, fallait pas me chercher
Fallait pas, fallait pas, fallait pas me trouver
The lyrics to Marcel et son orchestre's song Comme un Balai express a sense of frustration and impatience towards an individual, René, who is portrayed as foolish and stubborn. The singer begins by stating that there is nothing to understand about the situation, and that they have received instructions that should not be questioned. They tell René not to try and confuse them, as they are satisfied with the way things are, regardless of his opinion. The mention of "1 point c'est tout! 2 points c'est tout!" highlights the singer's dismissive and uncompromising attitude towards René's objections.
The singer goes on to state that they do not want to hear any more of René's stories or excuses, and that he should have predicted the outcome. They warn René not to try and outsmart them, as he is not on the right track, and again uses the phrase "3 points c'est tout! 4 points c'est tout!" to emphasize their unwillingness to negotiate. The repetition of this phrase reinforces the singer's rigid and inflexible mindset, as well as their disdain for René.
The chorus consists of the repeated phrase "René est con comme un balai", which loosely translates in English to "René is as dumb as a broom" - a humorous insult that further underscores the singer's frustration with René's perceived lack of intelligence. The use of the word "balai" (broom) is likely a play on words, as it is also a homophone for "ballet", which could be interpreted as René being awkward and clumsy.
The tone of the song is sarcastic and mocking throughout, as the singer dismisses René's objections and portrays him as a simple-minded and foolish individual. The repeated use of "c'est tout!" emphasizes the singer's unwillingness to engage in further discussion, and highlights their position of power and authority in the situation.
