À La Carte - Wanted (Jean Le Voleur) Lyrics

Confusion and excitement at the Sûreté
Cause someone notified a Bulgary this day
It’s not the first one
(Oh quel malheur malheur)
The Chief Inspector nearly loses patience now
He shouts we have to catch him anyhow
The king of thieves
(Jean le voleur voleur)
He makes a fool of la Parisienne police
Cause he steals all the golden chains and rings he sees
He’s got the super brain
He never works in vain
And the lower world is laughing in its sleeves

Wanted
Urgently wanted
Jean le voleur
The king of thieves
Is on his secret way by night and day
He’s wanted
Urgently wanted
Le commissaire Monsieur Dupont can’t get a wink of sleep

Two o’clock in the morning in the grand hotel
The bareness is sleeping everything is well
And then it happened
(Oh quel malheur malheur)
She feels an icy hand at her pretty mouth
Her blood runs cold
There is no time to cry out loud
And someone whispered
(Jean le voleur voleur)
Pardon Madame don’t be afraid
Vous-êtes gentille
All I want
Please give me all your jewelry
Kissing away her tears he quietly disappears
And the lower world is laughing in their sleeves

Wanted
Urgently wanted
Jean le voleur
The king of thieves
Is on his secret way by night and day
He’s wanted
Urgently wanted
Le commissaire Monsieur Dupont can’t get a wink of sleep
No wink of sleep

You never can imagine
How this story ends
One day he met Ninette
That’s how it began
He fell in love so deeply
And swore on his knees
To take her for his wife
Change his former life
And then they disappear

Wanted
Urgently wanted
Jean le voleur
The king of thieves
Is on his secret way by night and day
He’s wanted
Urgently wanted
Le commissaire Monsieur Dupont can’t get a wink of sleep
Wanted
Urgently wanted
Jean le voleur
The king of thieves
Is on his secret way by night and day
He’s wanted
