You who have one foot in the grave
Be careful where you put your hand
If it slips, if you fall
On a cowhide it's not smart

Young women and old gentlemen
If they don't have love, what does it matter?
Young women and old gentlemen
They have enough love for two

If you don't have a hair on your head
What do you need to hit yourself for?
You'll get your hair back
When you go to mess it up

Young women and old gentlemen
If they don't have hair, what does it matter?
Young women and old gentlemen
They have enough hair for two

You who walk down Pigalle street
Watch your diet
When you go back up to the Halles
The thread of the onion soup

Young women and old gentlemen
If they're on a diet, what does it matter?
Young women and old gentlemen
They have enough appetite for two

But before wrinkling her lace
By laying her on the couch
You'll need to be good with her
Lay her on your will

Young women and old gentlemen
If they're broke, what does it matter?
Young women and old gentlemen
They have enough money for two

When she tells you she loves you
Be careful with your heart
If she lives on the fourth floor
And there's an elevator breakdown

Young women and old gentlemen
At this age it doesn't matter anymore
Young women and old gentlemen
They can wait a day or two
