Verse 1
Countess, you're my (C major) pal.
Hey, we gotta celebrate. What? Yeah, first the Montmartre,

the Follies -Bergeres.
Not at all. Horace,
you need somebody to guide you,
to guard you here in Paris.
Uh, not Montmartre?

A Montmartre (G major) lady drops her (C major) hanky
and (G major) slyly winks her (C major) eye,

Only (C major) for Americans
The Frenchmen on the (B major) boulevards
Don't (G major) buy those (B flat major) dirty
(A major) postal cards
(D minor) They're only for Americans
The little holes for peeping through
To (G major) see what naughty people (C major) do

the (E minor) French, (C major) hoo, hoo. (E flatdim)

(E minor) from the (G major) USA. (C major)
We buy your (G major) worn out mink and (C major) sables
and fix them (G major) up like (C major) new.
