Le cinema today is in a crisis
Directors are so existentialistes.
The movies are not worth their entrance prices
If no one sings a love song when he's kissed.
Love cannot be love without "le singing,"
A string, a clarinet, a saxophone
Take a lesson from this old parisienne
And the finest entertainment she has known.
Folies Bergère
What a showing of color, costume, and dancing!
Not a moment in life could be more entrancing
Than an evening you spend aux Folies Bergère.
Folies Bergère,
Not a soul in the world could be in despair
When he is glancing
At the fabulous stage des Folies Bergère
Folies Bergère
La musique la danse,
Le Son, la lumiere!
Les petits jolies seins
Des belles bouquetieres
Sur la belle passarelle
Des Folies Bergère,
Pas de mysteres
Le spectacle est tout a fait decouvert.
"Et pas trop cher"
Viens ce soir avec moi
Aux Folies Bergère
Folies Bergère
The music, the lights, and the laughter,
The answer to what you are after
Each night at the Folies Bergère.
Folies Bergère
By the heavens above, you will swear
There's nothing rarer!
Than the Folies Bergère
Folies bergère
The stage overflowing, and giving
A musical reason for living
Each night at the Folies Bergère.
Folies Bergère...
To your modern ideas i compare
One derriere!
At the Folies Bergère!
The answer to what you are after,
The music, the lights, and the laughter
Of the Folies Bergère!
