lyrics:
At Lindenwirtin there’s a lady who was born in Timbuktu
I often pay her a visit whenever I’m feeling blue
She looks at me from her barstool, blows smoke from her cigar
then she gets up on her feet and smiles like a shooting star
Her name is Ephelia and has captivating brown eyes
They are so expressive and sparkling and the perfect size
Her skin is brown as coffee with a shade of milk
and her short hair is black and soft as finest silk
She loves to dance and she’s doing it oh so well.
She’s been doing it since her earliest years, as you all can tell
Whenever she is dancing she forgets her sorrows and fears
Whenever she moves her body there are no signs of her tears
She likes to tease her friends by showing off her agile moves
and everyone who enjoys true beauty of course approves
She sat me down in an armchair and then got very close
and in that special situation, you know anything goes.
I bet you can’t do the moves I do, monsieur Bleu!
I bet you can’t do the moves I do!
I bet you can’t do the moves I do, monsieur Bleu!
I bet you can’t do the moves I do!
Her smooth French accent feels exotic for the Berlin men
when she whispers secrets in their ears every now and then
Elegance like Josephine Baker but a tongue just like Mae West
but her eyes and her moves are the bits I like the best
But when I hear her teasing whispers, I suddenly feel so old
My soul may be lead but my memories are gold
and if I try to follow her moves, If I follow her track
I know that the end will be that I will break my back
I bet you can’t do the moves I do, monsieur Bleu! …
