| Countess, you’re my pal. |
| Hey, we gotta celebrate!
|
| What?
|
| Yeah, first to Montmartre!
|
| Then the Moulin Rouge!
|
| The Folies Bergere!
|
| Not at all…
|
| Not Montmartre?
|
| No.
|
| Not the Moulin Rouge?
|
| No.
|
| Not the Folies Bergere?!
|
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. |
| They are
|
| Only for Americans
|
| The midnight life in gay Paree
|
| The Frenchman he would never see
|
| It’s only for Americans
|
| The prices in the smart cafe
|
| The Frenchman he would never pay
|
| The price that’s more is only for
|
| Americans from the U.S.A.
|
| A Montmartre lady drops her hanky
|
| And slyly winks her eye
|
| That’s only for the Yankee
|
| The Frenchman wouldn’t buy
|
| Only for Americans
|
| The Frenchmen on the boulevards
|
| Don’t buy those dirty postal cards
|
| They’re only for Americans
|
| The little holes for peeping through
|
| To see what naughty people do The French would bore, they’re only for
|
| Americans from the U.S.A.
|
| Only for Americans
|
| The shops with many real antiques
|
| Antiques as old as seven weeks
|
| They’re only for Americans
|
| The bed on which a king made love
|
| Which there are sev’ral dozen of The French pooh pooh, we sell them to Americans from the U.S.A.
|
| Those old Napoleon brandy labels
|
| That recently were made
|
| They’re not for Frenchmen’s tables
|
| They’re for the Yankee trade
|
| Only for Americans
|
| The Frenchman gets his kisses free
|
| But those for which there is a fee
|
| Are only for Americans
|
| You’ll find two prices on a dress
|
| One that is extremely less
|
| The price that’s more is only for
|
| Americans from the U.S.A.
|
| Only for Americans
|
| A Frenchman’s food is very plain
|
| Those fancy sauces with ptomaine
|
| Are only for Americans
|
| A Frenchman seldom eats the snails
|
| With little ulcers on their tails
|
| And all that cheese was made to please
|
| Americans from the U.S.A.
|
| While the American carouses
|
| Where crimson shadows creep
|
| The French avoid those houses
|
| They go to bed to sleep
|
| Only for Americans
|
| A Frenchman wouldn’t be impressed
|
| To see a show with girls undressed
|
| That’s only for Americans
|
| The French don’t go to naked shows
|
| They’ve seen what’s underneath the clothes
|
| And each encore is only for
|
| Americans from the U.S.A.
|
| Only for Americans
|
| The Frenchmen don’t keep company
|
| With south of France society
|
| That’s only for Americans
|
| The Frenchman hasn’t large amounts
|
| To pay for Barons, Dukes and Counts
|
| That you adore, they’re only for
|
| Americans from the U.S.A.
|
| We like to keep the good relations
|
| That nothing must upset
|
| We give you decorations
|
| That Frenchmen seldom get
|
| Only for Americans
|
| Our finest art is in the Louvre
|
| The ones the experts don’t approve
|
| Are only for Americans
|
| We keep an artist by the gate
|
| To sign the paintings while you wait
|
| Before they’re dry, they’re purchased by Americans from the U.S.A.
|
| We buy your worn out mink and sables
|
| And fix them up like new
|
| Then simply change the labels
|
| And sell them back to you
|
| Only for Americans
|
| The season starts, they come to town
|
| They turn the city upside down
|
| We use their Yankee Doodle dough
|
| To clean up Paris when they go But we can’t do without them
|
| We’re simply mad about them
|
| The Americans
|
| The Americans
|
| The Americans from the U.S.A. |
