Thursday Dance Party: La Jeté – La Cage Aux Folles

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 40s and a little bit New Wave
You might be dancing with a girl who needs a shave
Where both the riff-raff and the royalty are the patrons at La Cage Aux Folles.

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

Here at La Cage we live life…how shall I put it?
On an angle.
Take a deep breath, a sip of champagne
And open your eyes
What do you see?

You'll be 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 want want to spend the winter at La Cage Aux Folles.

It's bad and beautiful, 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

Cage Aux Folles
The maitre d' is smashing
Cage Aux Folles
The Hat Check girl is flashing
We import the drinkts that you buy
So your Perrier is really Canada Dry.

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