The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo

by Animaniacs

on Live And Loud (2019)

[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 1: Tweenies]
Bella: I've just got here, to Paris, from the sunny southern shore;
Jake: I to Monte Carlo went, just to raise my winter's rent
Fizz: Dame Fortune smiled upon me as she'd never done before
Milo: And I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent
[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 2: Tweenies]
Bella: I stay indoors till after lunch, and then my daily walk
Milo: To the great Triumphal Arch is one grand triumphal march
Fizz: Observed by each observer with the keenness of a hawk
Jake: I've got lots of money, linen, silk and starch
[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 3: Tweenies]
Jake: I patronised the tables at the Monte Carlo Casino
Milo: 'Til they hadn't got a sou for a Christian or a Jew;
Fizz: So I quickly went to Paris for the charms of mad'moiselle
Bella: Who's the lodestone of my heart - what can I do
All: When with twenty tongues she swears that she'll be true?

[French Chorus]
Comme je marche le long de la Bois de Boulogne, avec un air indépendant
Vous pouvez entendre les filles déclarer: "Il doit être un millionnaire."
Vous pouvez les entendre soupirer et souhaiter mourir
Vous pouvez les voir cligner de l'oeil
Chez l'homme qui a cassé la banque à Monte Carlo

[Closing 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, with an independent air, one must be a Millionaire
The man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo
