fred gilbert - the man who broke the bank at monte carlo lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i’ve just got here through paris
from the sunny southern sh0r-;
i to monte carlo went
just to raise my winter’s rent
dame fortune smiled upon me
as she’d never done before
and i’ve now such lots of money, i’m a gent
yes, i’ve now such lots of money, i’m a gent

[chorus]
as i walk along the bois de boulogne
with an independent air
you can hear the girls declare
“he must be a millionaire.”
you can hear them sigh and wish to die
you can see them wink the other eye
at the man who broke the bank at monte carlo

[verse 2]
i stay indoors till after lunch
and then my daily walk
to the great triumphal arch
is one grand triumphal march
observed by each observer
with the keenness of a hawk
i’m a m-ss of money, linen, silk and starch
i’m a m-ss of money, linen, silk and starch

[chorus]

[verse 3]
i patronised the tables
at the monte carlo h-ll
’til they hadn’t got a sou
for a christian or a jew;
so i quickly went to paris
for the charms of mademoiselle
who’s the lodestone of my heart – what can i do
when with twenty tongues she swears that she’ll be true?

[chorus]
