So as I stand here, so I am, yes sir! Beauty is not given to me just like that, no, sir! The thousands of small piquant anecdotes that are quietly flustered, the hushed rumors that are told at the alcove are not imputed to me for nothing because even a bad reputation obliges.
(Chorus)
And when I must finish my earthly guest performance, yes, sir! You shall not turn in indifference from me, no, sir! I have loved and I have kissed because love was invented for just that, like everyone here did it for a thousand years, but oh my God beware – no one may find out about it.
(Chorus)
They call me Miss Vain, famous, notorious, yes sir! The one that's not very popular with uncles and aunts, no, sir! One fears I could meet the sheltered nephews in a gambling saloon or a canopy bed, I could seduce them with a thousand artifices to something that they might not know yet. Chorous: Yes, sir! Yes, sir! That way I am myself all over and that’s the way I am and that’s the way I stay. Yes, sir!
