How should I put it? On an angle
Just take a deep breath, a sip of champagne
Open your eyes and what do you see?

It's rather gaudy but it's also rather grand
And while the waiter pads your check, he'll kiss your hand
The clever gigolos romance the wealthy matrons
At La Cage Aux Folles

It's slightly forties and a little bit new wave
You may be dancing with a girl who needs a shave
Where both the riffraff and the royalty are patrons
At La Cage Aux Folles

La Cage Aux Folles
The Maitre d' is dashing
Cage Aux Folles
The hat check girl is flashing
We import the drinks that you buy
So your Dom Perrier is Canada Dry

Eccentric couples always punctuate the scene
A pair of eunuchs and a nun with a marine
To feel alive you get a Limousine to drive you
To La Cage Aux Folles

It's bad and beautiful, it's bawdy and bizarre
I know a Duchess who got pregnant at the bar
Just who is who and what is what
Is quite a question at La Cage Aux Folles

Go for the mystery, the magic and the mood
Avoid the hustlers and the men's room and the food
For you get glamor and romance and indigestion
At La Cage Aux Folles

La Cage Aux Folles
A San Tropez tradition
Cage Aux Folles
You'll lose each inhibition
All week long we're wondering who
Left a green Givenchy gown in the loo

You go alone to have the evening of your life
You meet your mistress
And your boy-friend and your wife
It's a bonanza, it's a mad extravaganza
At La Cage Aux Folles

La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la

You'll be so dazzled by the ambiance you're in
You'll never notice that there's water in the gin
Come for a drink and you may wanna spend the winter
At La Cage Aux Folles

La Cage Aux Folles, a San Tropez tradition
Cage Aux Folles, you'll lose each inhibition
We indulge each change in your mood
Come and sip your Dubonnet in the nude

La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la

You go alone to have the evening of your life
You meet your mistress
And your boyfriend and your wife
It's a bonanza, it's a mad extravaganza
At La Cage Aux Folles

You cross the threshold
And your bridges have been burned
The bar is cheering
For the Duchess has returned

The mood's contagious
You can bring your whole
Outrageous entourage
Outrageous entourage

It's hot and hectic
Effervescent and eclectic
At La Cage Aux Folles

How should I put it? On an angle
Just take a deep breath, a sip of champagne
