Alain Boublil - Let The World Turn Lyrics

[WOMAN [spoken]]
War? What war?

[MAN [spoken]]
I haven't noticed a war!

[WOMAN [spoken]]
Life goes on exactly as before!

[MAN [spoken]]
War is for other people, not for us!

[MMAN]
If you're careful

[WOMAN]
If you're clever

[BOTH]
Play your cards right
Keep your nose clean
Know the score

[MAN]
Life continues
Same as ever
All the heydays
[ALL]
All the pay-days like before!
Let the world turn
Let the world burn
What do we care?
We'll get our share
We will thrive
Let the bombs drop
Let the world stop
Let them drop, sir
Stay on top, sir
Stay alive!

[WOMEN]
As for Coco Chanel
What that woman won't do!
Living high in the Ritz
With a German general too!
Well, you know, Marguerite
If it's good for Chanel
Gotta have one as well!

[MAN]
Need some gas, sir?

[MEN]
Have a tank-full!
[MAN]
Need a truck, sir?

[MEN]
You're in luck, sir!
Knock on wood!

[ALL]
Let's be grateful!
Let's be thankful!
It's an ill wind doesn't bring you something good

[MAN]
Screw this war!

[MAN]
It isn't our war to fight!

[MAN]
Sweet surrender gave us a second chance!

[MAN]
Germany is putting our country right!

[MEN]
Germany is giving us back our France!
[WOMEN]
Out with the Reds!

[MEN]
Out with the Jews!

[ALL]
Take them away!
Let the sky fall!
Let the guns roar!
Life gets tougher
Some will suffer
Some will quit
These are good times!
It's a good war!
Serving foie gras
Serving soufflés
Serving shit

[MARGUERITE [spoken]]
Georges! Stockings from [???]!
Look everyone!

[Sung]
Isn't it bliss?
Most women would kill me for this!
Some women would tear out my hair
Just for a pair
Ça c'est la guerre!

[WOMEN]
Women out there

[WOMAN]
What's stopping 'em getting their share?

[WOMAN ]
You've got to be up with the times
Move with the times

[WOMEN]
Oui, c'est la guerre!
Lovely stockings!
Light as feathers!

[WOMAN]
I've worn plenty

[WOMAN]
I've torn plenty in my time!

[MEN]
Lovely legs, dear!
Smooth and milky!
Were there ever
Silks so silky
So sublime!

[ALL]
Let the world turn!
Let the world burn!
Where's the party?
Join the party!
Party time!

[Laughter]

[MARGUERITE [spoken]]
Otto!

[MAN]
General Von Stadt!

[GEORGES [spoken]]
It's just a little French game, General

[OTTO [spoken]]
Oh, I see. Perhaps it loses something in translation. Happy birthday, my dear

[MARGUERITE [spoken]]
Look what my adorable Otto has given me!

[GEORGES [spoken]]
Impeccable taste, General!

[Sung]
It's the real thing for sure
You deserve it, my dear!
May our race stay as pure
May our blood flow just as clear!
Let me offer a toast
With a noble French wine
To our friends 'cross the Reine!
General, we drink to harmony
We sons of France and Germany!
Brotherhood in arms
We're making history!

[MEN]
Warum denn warten wir?

[ALL]
General, we drink to victory
We sons of France and Germany!
Brotherhood in arms
We share a destiny
Warum denn warten wir?

[MARGUERITE [spoken]]
Oh, we're all so serious! It's my birthday, remember?
Georges, you promised me a band! Where are they?

[ALL]
Let the world turn!
Let the world burn!
Let the sky fall!
Let the guns roar!
All around you
Times are changing
Time will tell!
Time will tell!
Let the world stop!
Let the bombs drop!
Let them drop, sir!
Stay on top, sir!
It's a good time!
It's a good war!
All is well!
