REFRAIN 1
PISTACHE:
Though I have not a single sou
In my stocking or my shoe,
I shall positively pay you next Monday.
Though not a centime I possess
In the bodice of my dress,
I shall positively pay you next Monday.
If but look you will
At my empty till,
Ev'ry eye will fill with tears,
So run along and take a stroll,
Though I have to sell my soul,
I shall positively pay you next Monday.
REFRAIN 2
BOYS:
Though she has not a single bean, m-m-m,
In her garden once so green, m-m-m,
PISTACHE:
I shall positively pay you next monday.
BOYS:
Though she has nothing left to eat, m-m-m,
But an old petite marmite, m-m-m,
PISTACHE:
I shall positively pay you next Monday.
Though to smile I try,
From starvation, I
Am about to die, my dears.
BOYS:
So go away and please behave,
Though she may be in her grave, m-m-m,
PISTACHE:
I shall positively pay you next Monday,
Or Tuesday,
BOYS:
Or Wednesdav,
Or Thursday,
PISTACHE:
Or one day,
BOYS:
May be Doomsday
PISTACHE:
One of these years,
BOYS:
One of these years.
