C'est Un Monsieur Très Distingué
Édith Piaf
He's a Very Distinguished Man
He checks into the fancy hotels
He's got a lot of staff
He's also got a lot of cash
That's why he's my lover
He's a very distinguished man
He's a man who's married
His kids will be well-mannered
As it should be, his wife's blonde
His wife was born into high society
He's a man in high demand
Everyone listens to him speak
He's from the upper crust
That's what you call a worldly man
He's also got a little dog
They say he does a lot of good
His wife, me, and the dog
We're all part of his possessions
He's a very distinguished man
He's a man who's married
His kids will be well-mannered
As it should be, I'm not blonde
I wasn't born into high society
This man can buy anything
Even the illusion of being loved
He's from the upper crust
That's what you call a worldly man
I know that one day will come
When softly, he'll tell me
"Dear friend, I'm sorry
Our relationship must end"
He's a very distinguished man
He's a man who's married
His kids will be well-mannered
As it should be, his wife's blonde
His wife was born into high society
I'll be left alone to cry
My love will be well-compensated
That's how it is in high society
That's what you call the people of the world
