Roger Wilmut's Homepage - Music Hall Recordings from the 19th century. The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo
Charles Coburn
I've just got here, thro' Paris, from the sunny southern shore;
I to Monte Carlo went, just to raise my winter's rent.
Dame Fortune smil'd upon me as she'd never done before,
And I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent.
Yes, I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent.
I stay indoors till after lunch, and then my daily walk
To the great Triumphal Arch is one grand Triumphal march,
Observ'd by each observer with the keenness of a hawk,
I'm mass of money, linen, silk and starch.
I'm mass of money, linen, silk and starch.
I patronized the tables at the Monte Carlo hell
Till they hadn't got a sou for a Christian or a Jew;
So I quickly went to Parie for the charms of mad'moiselle,
Who's the load-stone of my heart. What can I do?
When with twenty tongues she swears that she'll be true?
Chorus
As I walk along the Bois Boulong
With an independent air,
You can hear the girls declare
'He must be a millionaire'!
You can hear them sigh and wish to die,
You can see them wink the other eye
At the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo!
