Edgar, détective cambrioleur
Liliane Davis
Arsène, Detective Cat Burglar
A noise in the depths of the night
A shadow on the carpet
A key turns silently
A safe cracks open in silence
A gloved hand in black
Takes bundles of dollars
And the jewels and Renoirs
Say goodbye
Arsène, Arsène
Prince of sneak thievery
Arsène, Arsène
A gentleman, a milord
Has slipped again into the shadows
Out to the other side of the world
To break hearts and crack safes and vaults
Yet, Arsène, Arsène
Has only one word
Arsène, Arsène
Knows well that the only treasure
Is in the hearts of belles
Their eyes and their lace
Are worth much more than a mountain of gold
Cuddled up in my bed
I dream of seeing again
The one who, on my white coat
Pinned a rose
But he has already gone
Far out to other lands
To seek gold and love, his paradise
Arsène, Arsène
Prince of sneak thievery
Arsène, Arsène

Yet, Arsène, Arsène

Arsène, Arsène
Knows well that the only treasure
Is in the hearts of belles
Their eyes and their lace
Are worth much more than a mountain of gold
Is in the hearts of belles
Their eyes and their lace
Are worth much more than a mountain of gold
