A letra:
Les
boys do cabaret
Les boys are glad to be gay
They're not afraid
now
A disco bar in Germany
Les boys are glad to be
Upon
parade now
Les boys got leather straps
Les boys
got SS caps
But they got no gun now
Get dressed up get a little
risqué
Got to do a little s & m these days
It's all in fun
now
Les boys come on again
For the high
class whores
And the businessmen
Who drive in their Mercedes
Benz
To a disco bar in old München
Well now they get the jokes that the
d.j. makes
They get so nervous and they make mistakes
They're
bad for business
Some tourist take a photograph (take a
photograph)
Les boys don't get one laugh
He says they're
useless
Les boys come on again
For the high
class whores
And the businessmen
Who drive in their Mercedes
Benz
To a disco bar in old München
Late at night when they've gone
away
Les boys dream of Jean Genet
High heel shoes and a black
beret
And the posters on the wall that say
Les boys do
cabaret
Les boys are glad to be gay
Les boys do cabaret
Les boys are
glad to be gay
Les boys do cabaret
Les boys are glad to be
gay
Les boys do cabaret
Les boys are glad to be gay
Les boys
do cabaret
Les boys are glad to be gay
Les boys do cabaret
Les
boys are glad to be gay
Les boys do cabaret
Les boys do cabaret
