anyone help translate this?

Un petit d’un petit
S’étonne aux Halles
Un petit d’un petit
Ah! degrés te fallent

Indolent qui ne sort cesse
Indolent qui ne se mène
Qu’importe un petit d’un petit

Think: Humpty Dumpty... [read it out loud]

It is almost impossible to exaggerate the complete unimportance of almost everything.

The book has annotations for each line - a lot of love went into such frivolity
