Would you like to dance, Marquise Would you like to dance the minuet It most certainly will please you Will you give me your hand s’il vous plait Ah, ah, ah, ah, shall we go dancing
It is so entrancing Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah The minuet is the royal polka
While the marquis sit there so dozy I’d like to taste of your lovely allure To kiss your lips so soft and rosy And show you, dear, about L’amour
Ah. Ah, ah, ah, shall we go dancing It’s so entrancing Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah The minuet is the royal polka
I’ll take off your fine dress and laces And gently loosen up your corselet She was a big one ! What you call in Paris: a great dame
Now is the moment for embraces But please let go off your lorgnette
Ah, ah, ah, ah, shall we go dancing It’s so entrancing Ah, ah, eh, eh The minuet is the royal polka
O sweet emotion, passions fire It is a blissful moment so divine When I fulfill my great desire For darling, now at last I love you, I love you Ah, ah, ah, ah Shall we go dancing
But what is wrong, you are hot to handle You seem no more, no more in my embrace
Why you are melting like a candle Explain, Marquise, what’s taking place?
