Lyrics
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?
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 may be dancing with a girl who needs a shave
Where both the riff-raff and the royalty
Are patrons at La Cage Aux Folles
La Cage Aux Folles
The maรฎtre d' is dashing
Cage Aux Folles
The hat check girl is flashing
We import the drinks that you buy
So your 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 mad 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
Or you'll get glamour and romance an
Indigestion at La Cage Aux Folles
La Cage Aux Folles
A Saint 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'll meet your mistress, and your boyfriend, 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-la
La-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
LA CA-SE!
Yes!
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 want to
Spend the winter at La Cage Aux Folles
La Cage Aux Folles
A Saint 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-la
La-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
You go alone to 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
You cross the threshold and your gravies have been burned
The bar is cheering for the duchess has returned
The mood's contagious, you can rave your whole outrageous self around
Keep on increasing as the dresses
Get decreasing at La Cage Aux Folles
