[FRENCH SOLDIERS]
Garçon, s'il vous plaît
Encore Chevrolet coupé
Papah, pooh, pooh, pooh!
A vous tout dir vay à vous?
Garçon, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Tra la, Maurice Chevalier!
J'adore crêpes Suzette
Et aussi Lafayette!

And now we give the meaning of this song
We're six of the fifty million and we can't be wrong

[FRENCH SOLDIERS & SECRETARIES]
We're six of the fifty million and we can't be wrong

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
I am the Ambassador of France
And I've come here to see
A grievous wrong righted
My country, huh huh, she is deeply hurt
Not since the days of Louis the Sеventh
The Eighth, the Ninth, thе Tenth
And, and possibly the Eleventh
Has such a thing happened
[WINTERGREEN]
What's troubling you?

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
You have done a great injustice
To a French descendent
A lovely girl
Whose rights have been trampled in the dust

[WINTERGREEN & SECRETARIES]
Who is she? What's her name?

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
Her name is Diana Devereaux

[SECRETARIES]
Diana Devereaux! Diana Devereaux!
Since when is she of French descent?

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
I've been looking up her family tree
And I have found a most important pedigree

She's the illegitimate daughter
Of an illegitimate son
Of an illegitimate nephew
Of Napoleon
[SECRETARIES]
Napoleon?

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
She offers aristocracy
To this bizarre democracy
Where naught is sacred but the old simoleon!
I must know why
You crucify
My native country
With this effrontery
To the illegitimate daughter
Of an illegitimate son
Of an illegitimate nephew
Of Napoleon!

[SECRETARIES]
To the illegitimate daughter
Of an illegitimate son
Of an illegitimate nephew
Of Napoleon

You so-and-so!
We didn't know
She had a tie-up
So very high up!
She's the illegitimate daughter
Of an illegitimate son
Of an illegitimate nephew
Of Napoleon
[DEVEREAUX]
Ah!
I was the most beautiful blossom
In all the Southland

[MARY & WINTERGREEN]
We know all that

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
You know all that
But you don't know the misery
Of this poor little girl who has suffered
Because—

[SECRETARIES]
Because?

[MARY & WINTERGREEN]
Because?

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
Because—

[DEVEREAUX]
Because, because, because, because
I won the competition
But I got no recognition
And because he broke my heart

Because, because, because, because
The man who ought to love me
Tried to make a monkey of me
Double-crossing from the start

I might have been First Lady
But now my past is shady
Oh, pity this poor maidie

[DEVEREAUX & FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
And there's the man who ought to pay!

[SECRETARIES]
Because, because, because, because
She won the prize for beauty
But he didn't do his duty
He has broken her poor heart!

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
You see how this poor girl has suffered
And so, on behalf of France
I demand that your marriage be annulled
And that you marry Diana

[WINTERGREEN]
Never, never!

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR]
Then you will arouse the anger of France
And you must be prepared to face the consequences!

[FRENCH AMBASSADOR, spoken]
Alors!

[FRENCH SOLDIERS]
Garçon, s'il vous plaît
Encore Chevrolet coupé
Papah, pooh, pooh, pooh!
À vous tout dir vay à vous?

[FULTON, spoken]
Jack, you've got to do something about this

[WINTERGREEN, spoken]
Leave Mary? Never!

[FULTON]
We are all in this together
We are birdies of a feather
And if you don't change your thesis
Then our party goes to pieces

[LYONS]
All our jobs you'll be destroying
With your attitude annoying

[GILHOOLEY]
You will get us all in trouble
And in spades, sir, which is double

[WINTERGREEN]
I will never leave my Mary

[LYONS]
Since he's acting so contrary
Send him off on a vacation

[GILHOOLEY]
I suggest his resignation

[WINTERGREEN]
Resignation?

[SECRETARIES]
Resignation?

[FULTON]
You've got to face it—This is a crisis!
To leave your Mary you may decline
But to save us, my good advice is
You resign!

[SECRETARIES]
Yes, resign!

[WINTERGREEN]
I assure you—though it's a crisis
To leave my Mary I must decline
And I don't care what your advice is
I decline to resign

[MARY]
We decline to resign

[LYONS & GILHOOLEY]
He is stubborn—We must teach him
I'm afraid we must impeach him

[SECRETARIES]
He is stubborn—We must teach him
He has forced us to impeach him!

[COMMITTEE]
You decline to resign
So we'll teach you
We'll impeach you

[SECRETARIES]
You decline to resign
We don't envy you at all

[COMMITTEE]
You decline to resign
So we'll teach you
We'll impeach you
You decline to resign
Humpty Dumpty has to fall
