The ballrooms of Versailles
Like dragons riding high
We dance the nights away
Life is glam and gayFountains cry Tokai
At ballrooms of VersaillesThe gardens where we play
(Gardens where we play)
The queen has gone astray
Salute Czar NicolaiThe night the party died
At ballrooms of VersaillesHail Knight in shining armor
The emperor's decree
The clock strikes midnight hour
Arrive from gay ParisA world of games and duels
And secret go-betweens
Throw marks or pounds or rubels
Pay life to share the sceneThe ballrooms of Versailles
Like dragons riding high
(Dragons riding high)
We dance the nights away
Life is glam and gayFountains cry Tokai
At ballrooms of VersaillesThe gardens where we play
(Gardens where we play)
The queen has gone astray
Salute Czar NicolaiThe night the party died
At ballrooms of VersaillesA court of fallen angels
Below the guillotine
Betrayed by nightly rangers
Doomed unforgiven sinThe struggle of the classes
The birth of bourgeoisie
Beheaded by the masses
By God that queen was meThe ballrooms of Versailles
Like dragons riding high
(Dragons riding high)
We dance the nights away
Life is glam and gayFountains cry Tokai
At ballrooms of VersaillesThe ballrooms of Versailles
Like dragons riding high
(Dragons riding high)
We dance the nights away
Life is glam and gayFountains cry Tokai
At ballrooms of VersaillesThe gardens where we play
(Gardens where we play)
The queen has gone astray
Salute Czar NicolaiThe night the party died
At ballrooms of VersaillesBallrooms of Versailles
Ballrooms of Versailles
Ballrooms of Versailles
