Toujours contents
Papa et Maman Barbapapa
Et leurs enfants
Les p'tits et les grands
Se transformant à volonté
Ronds ou carrés
Plus rose qu'une rose rose
Barbamama est plus noire
Plus noire qu'une rose noire
Barbibulle est jaune, jaune
Barbalala verte comme une pomme
Barbotine, cet ange
A la couleur des oranges
Barbouille est noir comme un corbeau
Et chaque fois qu'il prend ses pinceaux
Il se couvre de tâches de bas en haut
Barbabelle est violette
Barbidou est tout bleu
Barbidur est un athlète aussi rouge que le feu
Et tout ce petit monde est heureux
{partie musicale}
Voici venir les Barbapapa
On fait les fous
Dans la famille des Barbapapa
Viens avec nous chez Barbapapa
Ils se transforment à volonté
Courts, longs, carrés
{Minces, gros ou ronds}
Viens avec nous chez Barbapapa!
{Il y a Barbapapa,
Barbamama,
Barbidou,
Barbouille,
Barbabelle et Barbidur,
Barbotine et Barbibulle et Barbalala!}
Viens avec nous chez Barbapapa!
