• Folies Bergeres

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 Bergères
What a showing of color, costume, and dancing!
Not a moment in life could be more entrancing
Than an evening you spend aux Folies Bergères.
Folies Bergères,
Not a soul in the world could be in despair when he
is glancing
At the fabulous stage des Folies Bergères.
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 Bergères
La musique et la danse, le son, la lumière!
Les petits jolis seins des belles bouquetières
Sur la belle passerelle des Folies Bergères.
Pas de mystère
Le spectacle est tout a fait découvert.
Necrophorus The trouble with Contini, he’s the king of
mediocrities,
A second-rate director who believes that he is
Socrates.
He never makes a “movie” or a “picture” or a “flick”
He makes a “film”-get it? -a “film”.
A typical Italian with his auto and biography,
A mixture of Catholicism, pasta, and pornography,
A superficial, womanizing, moderately charming Latin
fraud.
Guido Grazie!
Necrophorus Prego!
And what are his movies about?
Just beauty, truth, death, youth, love, life,
anguish, angst.
Thanks to him we have boredom at the movies.
Guido Grazie!
Necrophorus Prego!
La Fleur (reclaiming spotlight) Darlings!

La Fleur
Folies Bergères

La musique et la danse,
le son, la lumière!

Les petits jolis seins
des belles bouquetières

Sur la belle passerelle
des Folies Bergères.

Pas de mystère
Le spectacle est tout a
fait découvert.
Et pas trop cher
Viens ce soir avec moi
aux Follies Bergères!

Viens ce soir avec moi aux Follies Bergères!
La Fleur I love it! (the dances with the boa, rapping
herself in it. A waltz, then all join in a can-can.)
All Follies Bergères
The music, the lights, and the laughter,
The answer to what you are after
Each night at the Follies Bergères.
Follies Bergères -
La Fleur (to Guido) To your modern ideas I simply
compare one derriere
All At the Follies Bergères!
The answer to what you are after,
The music, the lights, and the laughter
Of the Follies Bergères!
