Belleville Rendez-Vous

I don't wanna end my days in Tombouctou
Skin pulled by nail machines
I wanna be wrinkled
Triply wrinkled
Wrinkled like a trio from Belleville

I don't wanna end my life in Acapulco
Dance all stiff with gigolos
I wanna be twisted
Triply twisted
Thrown like a trio from Belleville

Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
Marathon dancing doop-dee-doop
Voodoo Cancan broom taboo
At the Belleville swinging rendez-vous

I don't wanna end my life in Singapore
Play bingo, eat petit fours
I wanna be silly
Triply silly
Rocked like a trio from Belleville

I don't wanna end my life in Honolulu
Singing like a bird, it's not done anymore
I want my voice broken
Triply broken
Swing like a trio from Belleville

Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
Marathon dancing doop-dee-doop
Voodoo Cancan broom taboo
At the Belleville swinging rendez-vous

I could end my life in Katmandu
It's much sweeter to rhyme with "ou"
But I wanna be crazy
Completely crazy
And swing like the trios from Belleville

Come on, girls

Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
Marathon dancing doop-dee-doop
Voodoo Cancan broom taboo
At the Belleville swinging rendez-vous
