Autograph manuscript of the song "Elegy for a cellar rat". 2 pp. in-folio. On the back, printed header "Georges Brassens 42 rue Santos-Dumont [...]"
Rare manuscript of this song written in memory of the wife of the actor and jazz musician Moustache. "Elegy for a cellar ratNo one would have believed this cellar Prophetizing by misfortune My poor little cellar rat You'd disembark before your time You weren't the kind to turn Aboard and we all knew it The kind to leave the ship And you're the first one who did itNow granny's got you sequesteredIn the bosom of heaven I disguise myself as an orchestra singerFor your beauties eyes When I left Grandma, I assure you, you've made us all black inside, even though we didn't put pancakes on our fucking binious. I've never seen you, you have to write it down. It's a first-timer, make a beef with crunchy notes. It's in your honor...» Moustache (1929-1987) was a French jazz actor and drummer. In 1978, he created the group "Les Petits français" which recorded, among other things, jazz covers of Georges Brassens songs. "Élégie pour un rat de cave" is a song from the album Georges Brassens joue avec Moustache et les Petits Français recorded in 1978 and released in January 1979 (Philipps/Phonogram).
