There's nothing like pomp
Marble, a big bell
There's nothing like pomp
Purple, mountain, throne
There's nothing like pomp
Fanfares, no magic, oh no
No, no, no

There's nothing like pomp
Annual waterside ball
There's nothing like pomp
Hollywood salons
There's nothing like pomp
Grande valse and fashion revue - the eighth wonder
Hey, hey, hey

Ladies and Gentlemen, the white of corsets
Tails and counts, the aim of courtship
Champagne and juniper, nightingale's trill
I love the grand scale
And La Scala and the ball

There's nothing like pomp
Necklines a la carte
There's nothing like pomp
"Sweetie, it was a joke"
There's nothing like pomp
Crazy lips and the charm of the night
The charm of the night!

Tipu, tipu, tipu tai
Give me tulips here
Cormorants, give me, give me, give me!
Tipu, tipu, tipu tai
Give me tulips here
Water lilies, give me, give me, give me!

Good people tell me
"Lady, oh, why do you need this? Make compotes!"
But I desire, even incognito
To show style, to be everywhere
To be everywhere, boom, boom, boom, boom!

A rustic cottage wrapped in smoke
"The Leper" by my bedside
You can't help it, I love to drink
And a simple viewer - that's not me!
"Lady, oh, why do you need this?"
Oh, why do I need it, that's just how it is, it is

Tipu, tipu, tipu tai
Give me tulips here
Crocodile, give me, give me, give me!
Tipu, tipu, tipu tai
I won't give anything, but you give me Bryll's smile
Give me, give me, give me!

Good people tell me
"Lady, oh, why do you need this? Make compotes!"
But I desire, even incognito
To show style, to be everywhere
To be everywhere, boom, boom, boom, boom!

A rustic cottage wrapped in smoke
"The Leper" by my bedside
You can't help it, I love to drink
And a simple viewer - that's not me!
"Lady, oh, why do you need this?"
Oh, why do I need it, that's just how it is, it is

There's nothing like pomp!
There's nothing like pomp!
There's nothing like pomp!
There's nothing like pomp!
