Lyrics and translation
Original
I know of a groovy place, where every girl of every race, age and bra size and IQ, goes when she feels broke or blue.
It's a place more women stay, than the YWCA.
Go there once, you get the key, so every girl's been there but me.
Where the minx get minx to wear?
Why, my husband's pied-à-terre! Into drinks you think she'll care?
That's my husband's pied-à-terre.
Every alley cat in town, knows my husband's latin town.
Better get your derriere, to my husband's pied-à-terre.
Love is in the very air, of my husband's pied-à-terre.
I understand the latest fad, is my husband's bachelor pad.
All the classes mingle there, at my husband's pied-à-terre.
There is not one single chair, in my husband's pied-à-terre.
When I find this loony bin, I am going to do him in!
