He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up (hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister)
That boy drank all that magnolia wine (hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister)
On her black satin sheets where he started to freak

For the gallery
It’s peanuts and lager
But for the aristocracy
It’s quail eggs and caviar
Ladies and gentlemen
May I introduce
The Duke du Monroth

[ENSEMBLE]
Who do you think you are?
Ain't nobody dope as me I'm dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)
Don't you think I'm so sexy I'm dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)


The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
I got money
(That’s what I want)
That’s what I want
(That’s what I want)
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
(That’s what I want)
That’s what I want
(That’s what I want)

Your love give me such a thrill
But your love don't pay my bills
Money don't get everything it's true
But what it don't get, I can't use
I got money
(That's what I want)
That's right money
(That's what I want)
I got money
(That's what I want)

Why must I live this way?
(Hey, must be the money)

[ZIDLER, spoken]
But there is another Paris, yes?
These are the rats of the latin quarter
The starving artists and thieves of Montmartre
Our own
Beloved
Bohemians!

[BOHEMIANS]
Watch out you might get what you're after
Rouge, baby
Strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

My house! Out of the ordinary
That's right! Don't wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag
Time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

Let’s dance
Let’s sway
Let’s dance
Let’s sway

[ZIDLER]
And now it’s time for the breakdown

[BOHEMIANS]
Watch out you might get what you're after
Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight
Hold tight wait till the party's over
Burning down the house (burnin’)
Burning down the house (burnin’)
Burning down the house (burnin’)
Burning down the house (burnin’)

[ZIDLER, spoken]
This is where all your dreams come true
You are the Moulin Rouge!

Creole lady marmalade
