  Gm               Eb7    D7    Gm
I won't finish my life in Timbuktu
   Gm               Eb7     D7  Eb7  A7  D7
Cheeks so tight my lips are turning blue
     Gm            D7  Gm          D7
I'd like to be wrinkly Utterly wrinkly
 Gm              Eb7    D7          Gm
Wrinkled like a Triplet from Belleville

Don't want to wind my days in Acapulco
Stiff as a board dancing tango-tango
I'd love to be twisted  Utterly twisted
Twisted like a Triplet from Belleville
(Come on Girls!)

Refrain:
Swinging Belleville rendez-vous
Marathon dancing doop dee doop
Voodoo Cancan balais taboo
Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous

I won't be an old man in Singapore
Playing scrabble and eating petits-fours
I want to be wicked,  Utterly wicked,
Wicked like the Triplets from Belleville

I don't want to end my life in Honolulu
Singing like a bird in an ormolu
I want to be as rough  Every bit as rough
Rough, rough as a Triplet from Belleville

Refrain
I won't finish my days in Miami Beach
Sweating my heart stalking like an old bitch
I'd like to be flying (Hop!)  Utterly flying (Hop! Hop!)
Flying like a Triplet from Belleville

Don't mind ending my life in Katmandu
Signing with a sitar and a guru
But I'd prefer to be  Much prefer to be
Swinging with the Triplets from Belleville
(Come on Girls!)
