Bohemia (Kern and Smith)



[Verse]
 * In folly and flirtation,
 * I've a reputation,
 * Ev'rybody knows Praline,
 * in all the gay cafe's I'm seen,
 * Among the students I'm a queen!


 * I am a fav'rite daughter,
 * Of the Latin Quarter;
 * Where good fellows laugh at care,


 * The Tabarin entrancing,
 * Knows me for my dancing,
 * Ev'ry night you'll find me there,


 * In that Bohemia, the people praise
 * in novels and in plays.

[Refrain]
 * Oh it's a very jolly place,
 * if you can stand the pace,
 * Bohemia Bohemia


 * While you have a lot of money
 * you have lots of fun, You can have a lot of fun!
 * If you will answer to a touch,
 * You'll like it very much,
 * Bohemia Bohemia


 * And the motto there is,
 * "All for one, and I'm that one!"

[Verse]
 * Bohemians who borrow,
 * Say they'll pay tomorrow,
 * But tomorrow never comes,
 * So you may sit and twirl your thumbs,
 * While waiting for those little sums,


 * The friends who gaily toast you,
 * Turn around and roast you!
 * Soon as you are out of view,


 * There no-one's ever jealous,
 * So the novels tell us,
 * But I havn't found it true,


 * Oh that Bohemia, is just a trap
 * it is not on the map.

[Refrain]
 * Oh it's a very jolly place,
 * if you can stand the pace,
 * Bohemia Bohemia


 * While you have a lot of money
 * you have lots of fun, You can have a lot of fun!
 * If you will answer to a touch,
 * You'll like it very much,
 * Bohemia Bohemia


 * And the motto there is,
 * "All for one, and I'm that one!"
