Nanette in New York 🎬

Verse 1

I arrive wiz my va-leez, so elegant, so chic — so very me

Ze building, she is... how they say that? ... not like Paris, you see

Six girls, one bathroom, and ze mirror she is small

"Bonjour" I say — and nobody, no answer at all

Ze Russian girl, she look at me like zis, like zat

Ze Brazilian, she take my rouge — imagine zat

(c'est pas possible, c'est pas possible)

(mon dieu, mon dieu)

Chorus

Nanette in New York, c'est pas possible!

Ze dream so big, ze room so small

Ze six girls, one mirror — New York, she stand tall

Nanette in New York — not easy but she give it her all

Verse 2

Ze subway, she and I... we 'ave ze disagreement

I take ze wrong train — now I'm in ze wrong arrondissement

Ze casting, she start at nine, it is now ze ten

Ze agent, she look at me — "where have you been?"

"I was... how you say... lost in ze underground"

"In Paris we 'ave ze metro — a little different mais ze same sound!"

(c'est pas possible, c'est pas possible)

(mon dieu, mon dieu)

Chorus

Nanette in New York, c'est pas possible!

Ze dream so big, ze room so small

Ze six girls, one mirror — New York, she stand tall

Nanette in New York — not easy but she give it her all

Bridge

She call her papa from ze street corner, crying just a little bit

"Papa... ze city, she is big... and ze bathroom, she is... shared, so zat is it"

"Mon petit lapin — you are strong, you are brave"

"Oui papa... mais ze carrot, she is complicated also — and ze carrot, she behave"

(petit lapin, petit lapin)

(sois courageuse, soisourageuse)

Verse 3

Ze fancy dinner wiz ze "influential" man, he smile wiz his plan

She smile back, so très... polite? — yes, zat is zan

He smile wiz his teeth — "I can help you, I 'ave ze way"

"Merci monsieur — but I must leave — I zink — today"

Ze party after, everyone so tall

Her English, she is... limited... but she work ze room, ze hall

"I am Nanette — I am from... you know ze place"

"Oh how exotic!" — zey all want ze chase

(c'est pas possible, c'est pas possible)

(mon dieu, mon dieu)

Chorus

Nanette in New York, c'est pas possible!

Ze dream so big, ze room so small

Ze six girls, one mirror — New York, she stand tall

Nanette in New York — not easy but she give it her all

Outro

Ze carrot, she finish

Ze dream, she not

Nanette in New York — not easy but she give it her all she got

(c'est la vie, c'est la vie)

(bien sûr, bien sûr, bien sûr)
