  *++Lyrics:|\\
I just got here from 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 a long the Bois Boolong 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 that broke the bank at Monte Carlo.\\
\\
I stay indoors till after lunch and then my daily walk\\
To the great Triumphal Arch is one grand triumphal march.\\
Observ'd by each observer with the keenness of a hawk\\
I'm a mass of money, linen, silk and starch\\
Yes, I'm a mass of money, linen, silk and starch.\\
\\
I patronized the table at the Monte Carlo hell\\
Till they hadn'y got a sou 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.\\
\\
