<br>
[Horace:] Countess, you're my pal. Hey, we gotta celebrate!<br>
[Countess:] What?<br>
[Horace:] Yeah, first to Montmartre!<br>
Then the Moulin Rouge!<br>
The Folies Bergere!<br>
[Countess:] Not at all....<br>
[Horace:] Not Montmartre?<br>
[Countess:] No.<br>
[Horace:] Not the Moulin Rouge?<br>
[Countess:] No.<br>
[Horace:] Not the Folies Bergere?!<br>
[Countess:] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. They are<br>
<br>
Only for Americans<br>
The midnight life in gay Paree<br>
The Frenchman he would never see<br>
It's only for Americans<br>
The prices in the smart cafe<br>
The Frenchman he would never pay<br>
The price that's more is only for<br>
Americans from the U.S.A.<br>
<br>
A Montmartre lady drops her hanky<br>
And slyly winks her eye<br>
That's only for the Yankee<br>
The Frenchman wouldn't buy<br>
<br>
Only for Americans<br>
The Frenchmen on the boulevards<br>
Don't buy those dirty postal cards<br>
They're only for Americans<br>
The little holes for peeping through<br>
To see what naughty people do<br>
The French would bore, they're only for<br>
Americans from the U.S.A.<br>
<br>
[2]<br>
Only for Americans<br>
The shops with many real antiques<br>
Antiques as old as seven weeks<br>
They're only for Americans<br>
The bed on which a king made love<br>
Which there are sev'ral dozen of<br>
The French pooh pooh, we sell them to<br>
Americans from the U.S.A.<br>
<br>
Those old Napoleon brandy labels<br>
That recently were made<br>
They're not for Frenchmen's tables<br>
They're for the Yankee trade<br>
<br>
Only for Americans<br>
The Frenchman gets his kisses free<br>
But those for which there is a fee<br>
Are only for Americans<br>
You'll find two prices on a dress<br>
One that is extremely less<br>
The price that's more is only for<br>
Americans from the U.S.A.<br>
<br>
[3]<br>
Only for Americans<br>
A Frenchman's food is very plain<br>
Those fancy sauces with ptomaine<br>
Are only for Americans<br>
A Frenchman seldom eats the snails<br>
With little ulcers on their tails<br>
And all that cheese was made to please<br>
Americans from the U.S.A.<br>
<br>
While the American carouses<br>
Where crimson shadows creep<br>
The French avoid those houses<br>
They go to bed to sleep<br>
<br>
Only for Americans<br>
A Frenchman wouldn't be impressed<br>
To see a show with girls undressed<br>
That's only for Americans<br>
The French don't go to naked shows<br>
They've seen what's underneath the clothes<br>
And each encore is only for<br>
Americans from the U.S.A.<br>
<br>
[4]<br>
Only for Americans<br>
The Frenchmen don't keep company<br>
With south of France society<br>
That's only for Americans<br>
The Frenchman hasn't large amounts<br>
To pay for Barons, Dukes and Counts<br>
That you adore, they're only for<br>
Americans from the U.S.A.<br>
<br>
We like to keep the good relations<br>
That nothing must upset<br>
We give you decorations<br>
That Frenchmen seldom get<br>
<br>
Only for Americans<br>
Our finest art is in the Louvre<br>
The ones the experts don't approve<br>
Are only for Americans<br>
We keep an artist by the gate<br>
To sign the paintings while you wait<br>
Before they're dry, they're purchased by<br>
Americans from the U.S.A.<br>
<br>
[alternate bridge in 2nd chorus:]<br>
We buy your worn out mink and sables<br>
And fix them up like new<br>
Then simply change the labels<br>
And sell them back to you<br>
<br>
[alternate ending:]<br>
Only for Americans<br>
The season starts, they come to town<br>
They turn the city upside down<br>
We use their Yankee Doodle dough<br>
To clean up Paris when they go<br>
<br>
But we can't do without them<br>
We're simply mad about them<br>
The Americans<br>
The Americans<br>
The Americans from the U.S.A.<br>
<br>
