Say you're fond of fancy things

Diamond clips and emerald rings

And you want your man to come through

Give him the ooh-la-la

When your car is asked to stop

By a handsome traffic cop

'less you want a ticket or two

Give him the ooh-la-la

If Napoleon at Waterloo-la-la

Had an army of debutantes

To give the British the well-known ooh-la-la

He'd have changed the history of France

When your favorite Romeo
Grabs his hat and starts to go

Don't reveal the fact that you're blue

Don't break down and start to boo hoo

There's just one thing for you, la la

To, la la, do, la la

Like Tallula just give him the ooh-la-la

If Napoleon at Waterloo-la-la

Had an army of debutantes

To give the British the well-known ooh-la-la

He'd have changed the history of France

When your favorite Romeo

Grabs his hat and starts to go

Don't reveal the fact that you're blue
Don't break down and start to boo hoo

There's just one thing for you, la la

To, la la, do, la la

Like Tallula just give him the ooh-la-la

The ooh-la-la, The ooh-la-la

You'd better be like Tellula

Don't be a fool-a

Give him the ooh-la-la
