On her black satin sheets where he started to freak

In the flesh!
Welcome...
To the Moulin Rouge!

ZIDLER: (ENSEMBLE:)

Ari-ari-ari-ah

ZIDLER: (spoken)
For the gallery
It’s peanuts and lager
But for the aristocracy
It’s quail eggs and caviar

Ladies and gentleman
May I introduce
The Duke du Monroth

THE DUKE: (ENSEMBLE:)
(Who do you think you are?)
Ain't nobody dope as me I'm dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)
Don't you think I'm so sexy I'm dressed so fresh so clean
(So fresh and so clean clean)

The best things in life are free
But you can keep them for the birds and bees
I got money
(That’s what I want)
That’s what I want
(That’s what I want)
That’s what I want
That’s what I want
(That’s what I want)
That’s what I want
(That’s what I want)

Your love is such a thrill
But your love won't pay my bills
Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get, I can't use
I got money
(That's what I want)
I got money
(That's what I want)
I got money
(That's what I want)

Why must I live this way?
(Hey, must be the money)

ZIDLER: (spoken)
But there is another Paris, yes?
These are the rats of the latin quarter
The starving artists and thieves of Montmartre
Our own
Beloved
Bohemians!

BOHEMIANS:
Watch out you might get what you're after
Rouge, baby
Strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

My house! out of the ordinary
That's right! Don't wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag
Time for jumpin' overboard
Transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

Let’s dance
Let’s sway
Let’s dance
Let’s sway

ZIDLER:
And now it’s time for the breakdown

BOHEMIANS:
Watch out you might get what you're after
Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight
Hold tight wait till the party's over
Burning down the house (burnin’)
Burning down the house (burnin’)
Burning down the house (burnin’)
Burning down the house (burnin’)

ZIDLER: (spoken)
This is where all your dreams come true
You are the Moulin Rouge!

WOMEN:
Marmalade
Lady marmalade
Marmalade
Hey, hey, hey

WOMEN:
Itchi gitchi ya ya da da

MEN:
You spin my head right round, right round

WOMEN:
Itchi gitchi ya ya here

MEN:
When you go down, when you go down, down

WOMEN:
Mocha-choca-lata ya ya
Creole lady marmalade
Ah, Ah
Creole lady marmalade

Whooo!
