Prelude

Bon soir, bon soir!

What pleasure it gives me to say

Bon soir!

Here we are at the pride of St. Tropez

The envy of the cabaret world

The jewel of the Riviera

What legend has told and rumor promised

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!
