the lady from reims

She's at your door: a six foot fleur de lis
She's the lady from riems
And you know what that means 

Every homme 
From pontoise to marseilles
Sees her chalet
Every day in his dreams 

Quarante franc 
A glass of blanc
And a soft "bon soir" 

"q'avait vous dit?"
"q'avait vous dit?"
"amusez vous bien!"

She'll take your hand
At first au contre couer
But she's on the floor
Before you've opened the door

What's that you say?
You cannot pay?
A plus tard!
Je suis desolé! 

Eau de vis!
Fluer de lis!
All hail the lady from riems! 

On the square in montpellier
She's gracious and demure
But off the set, tête a tête
She's the belle du jour 

Que plaisir! Que peu de mésange!
Que fille! Que fête!
Maintenant, s'il vous plait!
