    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! …
