Down To The Folies Bergere 1911

Why do they rave about beautiful France,
where the wine flows and the maidens entrance,
why go to Berlin, Vienna or Rome,
we can enjoy all their joys here at home.
In old New York up at Long Acre Square,
turn 'round the corner you'll find yourself there;
millions of miles from all trouble and care,
two doors from Heaven the Folies Bergere.

Down, down, down, down,
down to the Folies Bergere.
Order a taxi a cab or a car,
go where the girlies sing
Ou, la, la.
Girls, boys, joys, noise,
laughter and music are there,
ask me where? where? where?
Down to the Folies Bergere.

Why do they sing of the Rathskellers joys,
why go to places just meant for the boys,
we'll get the girls and we'll bring them along,
down to the Follies they'll see nothing wrong.
Bring down your sweetheart and give her a treat;
if your wife's there get a gallery seat;
then if your wife and your sweetheart should meet,
thirty two exits lead out to the street.

Down, down, down, down,
down to the Folies Bergere.
Order a taxi a cab or a car,
go where the girlies sing
Ou, la, la.
Girls, boys, joys, noise,
laughter and music are there,
ask me where? where? where?
Down to the Folies Bergere.
