The Street Fair

The night is turned into day!

And on the avenue

Miladies and Milords so gay

Are decked in ev'ry hue!

Merry-go-rounds with dancing pigs!

And prancing horses too!

While “Lady Claire” with flaming hair

Does a wonderful dance for you!

“

Holà! là-bas!

”

“

Laisse-nous passer!

”

“

Ma belle Fifi!

”

“

Holà! T'es bien mignonne, chérie!”

Lovers dancing in the street,

Confetti fill the air!

The drums keep time with prancing feet!

'Tis chaos ev'rywhere!

Giants and dwarfs are there!

The man who swallows fire!

While in green a daring queen

Balances on a wire!
