| In the Palace of Versailles, before the fall
|
| We were wild, we were so debauched
|
| Extravagance was practically a law
|
| If we ever got bored, we’d say, «Let's throw a ball»
|
| You’d chase me naked through the palace garden
|
| Before we dove into a sparkling champagne fountain
|
| Eating cake with a little golden butter
|
| They never even knew that I got here from the gutter
|
| 'Cause I dance like an aristocrat
|
| Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that
|
| Show me that you understand
|
| Come on and do it like only a poor kid can
|
| Oh, aristocrat
|
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
|
| Oh, aristocrat
|
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
|
| In the middle of the night, the ladies of the court
|
| Would catfight tryna be the king’s consort
|
| I’m sorry, B, he’s hot for me
|
| La Comtesse du Poverty
|
| Me and Marie dressed head to toe in diamonds
|
| With an orchestra to drown out all the violence
|
| And the gossip cut like a handcrafted stiletto
|
| But they never figured out that I got here from the ghetto
|
| 'Cause I dance like an aristocrat
|
| Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that
|
| Show me that you understand
|
| Come on and do it like only a poor kid can
|
| Oh, aristocrat
|
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
|
| Oh, aristocrat
|
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
|
| Out of the fire
|
| Out of the fire
|
| Courante, bourrée, allemande if you want
|
| Courante, bourrée, allemande if you want
|
| Oh, aristocrat
|
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
|
| Oh, aristocrat
|
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat |
