Rhythm of the Tambourine

Come one! Come all!

Hurry, hurry here's your chance! See the mystery and romance

Come one! Come all!

See the finest girl in France make an entrance to entrance!
Dance, La Esmeralda, dance!

Hey, soldier boy, I see how you stare
Hey, butcher man, I see you admire
Come gather 'round
Hey, Jaques and Pierre!
Come see me dance to the rhythm of the tambourine

Flash of ankle
Flip of a skirt
Feel them excite, enflame and inspire
Come see me dance, hey, what can it hurt?
It's just a dance to the rhythm of the tambourine

This girl who is she? (This girl who is she?)

She dances like the devil himself (She dances like an angel) (An angel!)

But with such fire (Such fire)

Who is she?

Men of Paris
Before we get old
Come feel the heat, come taste the desire!
Feel them within you, crimson and gold!
Gold like the coins you will toss into my tambourine
When I dance to the rhythm of the tambourine!
