1952 STAGE VERSION:
[GIRLS, Sung]
We're awaiting the arrival
Of a brand new face from France
A figure of romance
Who has us in a trance
We hope that he'll be pleased to see us
Waiting on the shore
To see us waiting for
The man that we adore
The gangplank comes in view
Our senses start to reel
Mon Dieu and sacreé bleu!
Here is our ideal!
[LUCKY PIERRE]
Bonsoir
Bonsoir!
I'm sorry that I'm late
But I've been signing autographs
Since quarter after eight
Chéri
Chérie!
Ah, je vous aime beaucoup
In case you don't speak French
That simply means that I love you
I love you all, amour encore
If I was tall, I'd love you more
But since I'm not
Accept me as I am
And who can tell chère mademoiselle
You may be my madam!
[GIRL, Spoken]
Call me Madam!
[MORNING STAR REPORTER, Sung]
Pardon me Monsieur
I'm from the Morning Star
It's evident that you're a man of fame
It's also very clear
I should know who you are
But somehow I just can't recall your name
[LUCKY PIERRE, Spoken]
What?! You don't know who I am?
No, who is he?
[LUCKY PIERRE, Spoken]
Shall I tell him?
[GIRLS, Spoken]
Yes!
[LUCKY PIERRE, Sung]
I'm the man of the hour
I'm the man of the year
I'm the fellow who is known from here
To here, to here, to here
I'm the meaning of debonair
Who am I?
I'm Lucky Pierre!
I'm the man of the century
The man of the age
Why, my name will be in history
On every single page
I'm the man who is always there
Who am I?
I'm Lucky Pierre!
I'm the boy
Mais oui oui!
What a joy
To be me!
If you think that I brag
And if you think that I boast
Just be quiet and you'll hear them
Shout my name from coast to coast
And the echo rings out in the air!
Laissez-faire for Lucky Pierre!
[GIRLS, Sung]
Though he's not very handsome
And he's not very strong
In a cabin, in a blizzard
He's the one you bring along
He's the kick in a maiden's prayer
Who is he?
He's Lucky Pierre!
[LUCKY PIERRE, Sung]
From the banks of the Hudson
To the banks of the Nile
Just repeat my name and voilà!
You'll be serviced with a smile
From Trafalgar to Herald Square
None compare with Lucky Pierre
-Instrumental-
[GIRLS, Spoken]
Pierre! Pierre!
[GIRLS, Sung]
He's the bee
We're the flower
[LUCKY PIERRE, Sung]
Busy bee!
[GIRLS, Sung]
Lucky flower!
[LUCKY PIERRE, Sung]
I'm the man of the hour
I'm the man of the year
I'm the man that every living husband
Has the right to fear!
In [French] [?] madame
In Seville or Siam
Where she is
There I am
Vive la chère
Chez la femme
C'est la vie mes amis!
C'est la guerre!
[GIRLS, Spoken]
La guerre!
[LUCKY PIERRE, Sung]
Who am I?
I'm Lucky Pierre!
[GIRLS, Spoken]
Pierre!
1954 MOVIE VERSION:
[GIRLS, Sung]
We're awaiting the arrival
Of a brand new face from France
A figure of romance
Who has us in a trance
We hope that he'll be pleased to see us
Waiting by the door
To see us waiting for
The man whom we adore
His shadow comes in view
Our senses start to reel
Voilà and sacré bleu!
Here is our ideal!
