Chorus:
|
D7 |
As I |
walk along the Bois Boolong |
|

with an |
independent air, |
|
D7 |
You can |
hear the girls declare, |
|
G |
"He must |
be a millionaire." |
E7 |

You can |
hear them sigh, and |
wish to die, |
|
G |

you can |
see them |
wink the other |
eye |
|
A7 |
D7 |
G |
At the |
man who broke the |
bank at Monte Car |
lo. |
I stay indoors till after lunch, and then my daily walk
To the great Triumphal Arch is one great
triumphal march.
Observed by each observer with the keenness of a hawk,
I'm a mass of money, linen, silk, and starch.
I'm a mass of money, linen, silk, and starch.
I patronized the tables at the Monte Carlo hell
Till they hadn't got a sou for a Christian or a Jew,
So I quickly went to Paris for the charms
of mad'moiselle,
Who's the loadstone of my heart what can I do,
When with the twenty tongues she swears
that she'll be true?
