Come one! Come all!
Hurry, hurry here's your chance! See the mystery and romance.
Come one! Come all!
See the finest girl in France make an entrance to entrance!
Dance, my Esmeralda, dance!
Hey, soldier boy, I see how you stare.
Hey, butcher man, I see you admire.
Come gather 'round,
Hey, Jaques and Pierre!
Come see me dance to the rhythm of the tambourine.
Flash of ankle,
Flip of a skirt,
Feel them excite, enflame and inspire.
Come see me dance, hey, what can it hurt?
It's just a dance to the rhythm of the tambourine
This girl who is she? (This girl who is she?)
She dances like the devil himself (She dances like an angel) (An angel!)
But with such fire (Such fire)
Who is she?
Men of Paris,
Before we get old,
Come feel the heat, come taste the desire!
Feel them within you, crimson and gold!
Gold like the coins you will toss into my tambourine.
When I dance to the rhythm of the tambourine!
