Belleville rendezvous

I won't finish my life in Timbuktu

Cheeks so tight my lips are turning blue

I'd like to be wrinkly Utterly wrinkly

Wrinkled like a Triplet from Belleville

Don't want to wind my days in Acapulco

Stiff as a board dancing tango-tango

I'd love to be twisted Utterly twisted

Twisted like a Triplet from Belleville

(Come on Girls!)

Refrain

Swinging Belleville rendez-vous

Marathon dancing doop dee doop

Voodoo Cancan balais taboo

Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous

I won't be an old man in Singapore

Playing scrabble and eating petits-fours

I want to be wicked, Utterly wicked,

Wicked like the Triplets from Belleville

I don't want to end my life in Honolulu

Singing like a bird in an ormolu

I want to be as rough Every bit as rough

Rough, rough as a Triplet from Belleville

Refrain

I won't finish my days in Miami Beach

Sweating my heart stalking like an old bitch

I'd like to be flying (Hop!) Utterly flying (Hop! Hop!)

Flying like a Triplet from Belleville

Don't mind ending my life in Katmandu

Signing with a sitar and a guru

But I'd prefer to be Much prefer to be

Swinging with the Triplets from Belleville

(Come on Girls!)
