Viens au bal aux ballots
Come to the ballroom
C'est très rigolo
It's very funny
C'est la cage aux singes
It's the monkey cage
Viens au bal aux ballots
Come to the ballroom
Y a du populo
There's some populo
Et y a du beau linge
And there's some nice linen
De nice à saint-malo
From nice to saint-malo
Y a pas des kilos
There's not pounds
De bals sympathiques
Friendly balls
Viens on fait pas d'philo
Come on, we're not doing a philo
Ni d'mathématiques
Nor mathematics
Au bal aux ballots
At the ballroom
Viens au bal aux ballots
Come to the ballroom
Danser en solo
Dancing solo
Ça vous ravigote
It's a delight for you
Viens si t'as du culot
Come if you have the nerve
T'es un peu pâlot
You're a little pale
Faut que tu gigotes
You've got to jiggle
Viens au bal aux ballots
Come to the ballroom
Casser le goulot
Breaking the bottleneck
De quelques bouteilles
A few bottles
Viens piquer des galops
Come and take gallops
C'est ça qui réveille
That's what wakes you up
Au bal aux ballots
At the ballroom
Y a des bals pour les pompiers
There are balls for firefighters
Et les joyeux militaires
And the merry military
Y en a pour les vieux notaires
There's some for the old notaries
Et les sombres charcutiers
And the dark butchers
Y a des bals spécialisés
There are specialized balls
Pour différentes espèces
For different species
Mais çui-là vend son bizenèce
But here's selling his bizenèce
Aux clients du monde entier
To customers around the world
Viens au bal aux ballots
Come to the ballroom
C'est pas waterloo
It's not waterloo
Mais on s'y bouscule
But we're scrambling to do it
Viens mais vas-y molo
Come on, but go molo
Et fais pas d'mélo
And don't make a melodrama
Ça s'rait ridicule
It would be ridiculous
Viens n'aie pas les ballots
Come don't have the bundles
Coiffe ton calot
Hair your cap
Et tu pourras dire
And you can say
Que t'as gagné l'gros lot
That you won the jackpot
Ce soir tu transpires
Tonight you're sweating
Au bal aux ballots
At the ballroom
Viens au bal aux ballots
Come to the ballroom
Où guinche othello
Where othello guinea pig
Avec desdémone
With desdemona
La vénus de milo
The venus de milo
Serre un matelot
Squeeze a sailor
Au son du trombone
To the sound of the trombone
Viens au bal aux ballots
Come to the ballroom
Tu verras l'boulot
You'll see the job
Et faudra t'y faire
And you'll have to get used to it
Car du saint au salaud
For from the saint to the bastard
Casquette ou halo
Cap or halo
Diablesses, angelots
Devils, angels
Y a la terre entière
There's the whole earth
Au bal aux ballots!
At the ballroom!
