1. I've just got here, through Paris
From the sunny southern shore
I to Monte Carlo went
Just to raise my winter's rent
Dame Fortune smiled upon me
As she'd never done before
And I've now such lots of money I'm a gent
Yes, I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent

Chorus:
As I walk along the Bois Boo-long
With an independent air
You can hear the girls declare
"He must be a Millionaire"
You can hear them sigh, and wish to die
You can see them wink the other eye
At the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo

2. I stay indoors till after lunch
And then my daily walk
To the great Triumphal Arch
Is one grand triumphal march
Observed by each observer
With the keenness of a hawk
I'm a mass of money, linen, silk, and starch
I'm a mass of money, linen, silk, and starch

3. I patronized the tables
At the Monte Carlo hell
Till they hadn't got a son
For a Christian or a Jew
So I quickly went to Paris
For the charms of mad'moiselle
Who's the loadstone of my heart, what can I do
When with twenty tongues
She swears that she'll be true?
