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.
Contini! I want a musical!
Love cannot be love without 'le singing',
A string, a clarinet, a saxophone.
Take a lesson from this old Parisian
And the finest entertainment she/he has known.

Folies Bergeres
What a showing of color, costume, and dancing!
Not a moment in life could be more entrancing
Than an evening you spend aux Folies Bergeres.

Folies Bergeres,
Not a soul in the world could be in despair when he
Is glancing
At the fabulous stage des Folies Bergeres.
Think of the footlights bright and gleaming,
Le strip-tease, le can-can we all adore.
Life is too short without dreaming,
And dreams are what le cinema is for.

Folies Bergeres
La musique et la danse, le son, la lumiere!
Les petits jolis seins des belles bouquetieres
Sur la belle passerelle des Folies cBergeres.
Pas de mystere
Le spectacle est tout a fait decouvert.
