So
a
slick
little
chick
answered,
"that's
for
me"
Alors
une
petite
fille
futée
a
répondu:
"c'est
pour
moi"
To
the
ad
he
had
placed
in
variety
À
l'annonce
qu'il
avait
placée
dans

When
she
saw
his
expanse,
she
could
tell
at
a
glance
Quand
elle
a
vu
son
étendue,
elle
a
pu
dire
en
un
coup
d'œil
That
he'd
never
learn
how
to
do
the
rumba.
Qu'il
n'apprendrait
jamais
à
faire
la
rumba.
He
had
his
wealth,
he
had
his
health
Il
avait
sa
richesse,
il
avait
sa
santé
So
he
looked
in
her
eyes
and
said:
Alors
il
l'a
regardée
dans
les
yeux
et
a
dit:
Ah
hahahahahahahahahha
Ah
hahahahahahahahahha
Take
my
rubies
and
take
my
pearls

mes
rubis
et
prenez
mes
perles

maharajah
of

maharadjah

Ah

He
was
anxious
to
learn,
so
she
taught
him
right
Il
était
impatient
d'apprendre,
alors
elle
l'a
enseigné
correctement
But
she
taught
him
the
thrill
of
a
moonlight
night.
Mais
elle
lui
a
appris
le
frisson
d'une
nuit
de
lune.
He
discovered
the
bliss
of
a
half
promised
kiss
Il
a
découvert
le
bonheur
d'un
baiser
à
moitié
promis
But
he
never
learned
how
to
do
the
rumba.
Mais
il
n'a
jamais
appris
à
faire
la
rumba.
And
on
the
day...
she
went
away
Et
le
jour...
elle
est
partie
You
could
hear
all
the
people
say:
Tu
pouvais
entendre
tout
le
monde
dire:
She
took
his
rubies
and
took
his
pearls
Elle
a
pris
ses
rubis
et
pris
ses
perles
Took
his
camels
and
all
his
girls
Pris
ses
chameaux
et
toutes
ses
filles
Took
his
money
and
what
is
more
Pris
son
argent
et
qui
plus
est
She
made
the
rich
maharajah
the
poor
maharajah
of

a
fait
du
riche
maharadjah
le
pauvre
maharadjah
de
Magador.
Ah
