Prelude

Bon soir! Bon soir!

What pleasure it gives me to say bon soir!

Here we are at the pride of Saint Tropez

The envy of the cabaret world, the jewel of the Riviera!

But legend has told and rumor from it

We shall do our utmost to deliver

Ah, so many old friends

And so many new faces

And so many old friends with new faces

But, we can linger no longer

The inevitable is upon us!

Ladies and gentlemen, and you

Open your eyes

You have arrived at La Cage aux Folles!
