| We drink fine wine and eat rare meats
|
| On carousel and gambling stake
|
| Our fortunes speed, and dissipate.
|
| It’s candlelight and chandelier,
|
| It’s silver plate and crystal clear.
|
| The nights we stay at hotel grand
|
| Tonight we dine at hotel ritz.
|
| (a golden dish with every wish).
|
| It’s mirrored walls, and velvet drapes,
|
| Dry champagne, and bursting grapes.
|
| Dover sole, and oeufs mornay,
|
| Profiteroles and peach flambe,
|
| The waiters dance on fingertips
|
| The nights we dine at hotel ritz
|
| One more toast to greet the morn
|
| The wine and dine have danced till dawn
|
| Where’s my continental bride?
|
| We’ll continental slip and slide
|
| Early morning pinch and bite —
|
| (these french girls always like to fight)
|
| It’s serenade and sarabande,
|
| The nights we stay at hotel grand
|
| Les nuits qu’on passe l’hotel grande. |
