Paroles
Well, well, well
«Let's have a drink on it»
As me father used to say
When the truth is nobly spoken
Its respect you got to pay
So fill your cup and lift it up
and clink, here’s how
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have a drink on it now!
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have a drink on it now!!!
(Angie gets the idea to leave Philadelphia and join the foreign legion.)
Well, well, well
«Let's have a drink on it»
to the fightin' legionaries!
To their outposts in the desert
and their gorgeous Croix de Guerres
To sailing for Bengasi
on a rusty scow!
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have a drink on it now!
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have a drink on it now!!!
(Angie leaves to go to Bengasi.)
(spoken) I can’t let him get away! We’ll never get things patched up!
(Screams) Sir! A moment of your time Sir! Just a moment!
What do you do when the water’s gone
And there’s no turning back?
You’re four days from the fort
The Arab renegades attack!
And the blistering sun keeps burning
Reinforcement can’t come through
What do you do about it?
What do you do about it?!
(Spoken) Do you blister easily?
(Spoken) Yes, as a matter of fact.
(Spoken) Ah, the foreign legion is not for you. Drink up.
(Angie gets the idea to renounce his name and fortune and become a regular
person.)
Well, well, well
«Let's have a drink on it»
To the simple average life!
To wages every Friday
That you bring home to the wife!
To the sweat of honest labor
On your average brow
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have a drink on it now!
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have a drink on it now!!!
(Spoken) Hey! Set 'em up Clancy!
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have a drink on it now!
(Angie goes out to make a new name for himself.)
What do you do when you loose your job?
The rent is overdue?
The Landlord throws you in the street
The Wife, the kiddies, too!
And the sleet and snow are falling
And you got no place to go?
(Man starts crying)
(Spoken) Will you shut your face?! Can’t you see I’m talking to the gentleman?!
What do you do about it?
What do you do about it?!
(Spoken) The simple, average life, sir. No.
(Angie decides to go off to China and make a fortune in the pearl trade.)
Well, well, well
«Let's have a drink on it»
Here’s to China 'cross the bay
To them darling little oysters
And the pearls they give away!
A man could make his fortune there
I will somehow!
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
I’m off to China now!
No shilly shallying
No dillydallying
He’s off to China now!!!
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have another one, Sir!!!
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying!
(Musical Interlude)
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
I’m off to China now!
Well, well, well,
One last drink on it
Then you’re on your merry way!
What do you do when your sampan springs a leak in China Bay?
When the truth is nobly spoken
It’s respect you got to pay
Them Oriental Pirates come and take your pearls away!
So fill your cup and lift it up
And clink, here’s how
(Spoken) Do you eat fish heads?
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have a drink on it now!
(Spoken) Are you immune to yellow fever?
No shilly shallying
No dilly dallying
Let’s have a drink on it now!!!
(Spoken during the singing) Bubonic Plague! Monsoons! Locusts! The Screaming
abdabs! Oh the shame of it all!
(The song ends with a giant bar fight.)
Traduction des paroles
Le Propriétaire vous jette dans la rue
La Femme, les gosses, trop!
Et le grésil et la neige tombent
Et vous avez pas d'endroit où aller?
(L'homme se met à pleurer)
(Parlé) allez-vous fermer votre visage?! Vous ne voyez pas que je parle au monsieur?!
Que voulez-vous faire à ce sujet?
Que voulez-vous faire à ce sujet?!
La vie simple et moyenne, Monsieur. Aucun.
(Angie décide de partir en Chine et de faire fortune dans le commerce des perles.)
Bien, bien, bien
«Nous allons prendre un verre sur elle»
À la Chine de traverser la baie
Pour eux les petites huîtres chéries
Et les perles qu'ils donnent!
Un homme pourrait y faire fortune
Je vais en quelque sorte!
Pas de valse hésitation
Pas de dilly dallying
Je pars en Chine maintenant!
Pas de valse hésitation
Pas dillydallying
Il est hors de Chine maintenant!!!
Pas de valse hésitation
Pas de dilly dallying
Nous allons avoir un autre, Monsieur!!!
Pas de valse hésitation
Pas de tergiversations dallying!
(Intermède Musical)
Pas de valse hésitation
Pas de dilly dallying
Je pars en Chine maintenant!
Bien, bien, bien,
Un dernier verre sur elle
Alors vous êtes sur votre chemin joyeux!
Que faites-vous lorsque votre sampan provoque une fuite dans China Bay?
Quand la vérité est noblement dite
C'est du respect que tu dois payer
Les Pirates orientaux viennent et prennent vos perles loin!
Alors remplissez votre tasse et soulevez la
Et clink, voici comment
(Parlé) - vous manger des têtes de poisson?
Pas de valse hésitation
Pas de dilly dallying
Nous allons prendre un verre sur elle maintenant!
Êtes-vous immunisé contre la fièvre jaune?
Pas de valse hésitation
Pas de dilly dallying
Nous allons prendre un verre sur elle maintenant!!!
(Parlé pendant le chant) Peste Bubonique! La mousson! Les criquets! crier
abdabs! Oh la honte de tout ça!
(La chanson se termine par un combat de bar géant.)
