Belleville Rendez-vous

(Timbuktu)
Skin pulled tight by nail machines
I wanna be wrinkled, triply wrinkled
Wrinkled like a triplet from Belleville

I don’t wanna end my life in Acapulco
(Acapulco)
Dancing all stiff with gigolos
I wanna be twisted, triply twisted
Swinging like a triplet from Belleville

(Come on girls, let’s...)
Swinging Belleville rendezvous
Marathon dancing doo-dah
Voodoo Cancan, broomstick taboo
At the Belleville swinging rendezvous

I don’t wanna end my life in Singapore
(Singapore)
Playing Scrabble, eating hors d'oeuvres
I wanna be dumb, triply dumb
Warped like a triplet from Belleville

I don’t wanna end my life in Honolulu
(Honolulu)
Singing like a bird just ain’t done
I want my voice broken, triply broken
Swinging like a triplet from Belleville

Swinging Belleville rendezvous
Marathon dancing doo-dah
Voodoo Cancan, broomstick taboo
At the Belleville swinging rendezvous

I’d like to end my life in Kathmandu
(Kathmandu)
It’s way sweeter to rhyme with “oo”
But I wanna be crazy, triply crazy
Swinging like the triplets from Belleville

(Come on girls...)
Swinging Belleville rendezvous
Marathon dancing doo-dah
Voodoo Cancan, broomstick taboo
At the Belleville swinging rendezvous

Swinging Belleville rendezvous
Marathon dancing doo-dah
Voodoo Cancan, broomstick taboo
At the Belleville swinging rendezvous
