Lyrics of La chambre separee

Contessa, of tridessa
Frequented clubs of bad taste
In disguise she mimed the hunter
Only to play with her prey

Her husband at home without a notion
Led a dull, secluded life
Till the night he discovered
Now he hunts her night and day

Trivialities and fate, with a pinch of spice and vice
Has changed the lives of small and great

La chambre separee, that lusty hideaway
Has many little secrets who tell of yesterday
Some trivial, some trite, some oo-la-la's in white
Some rendezvous made history or ended in a fight

Napolean bonaparte
Was fooled, went out on a spree
Girls amused him in the chamber
There was no way he could flee

His generals, _mon dieu_, conspired
France was ready for a little break
They dethroned their ruler
Locked in the boudoir ???? (a fait? of fate?)

Trivialities and fate, with a pinch of spice and vice
Has changed the lives of small and great

La chambre separee, that lusty hideaway
Has many little secrets who tell of yesterday
Some trivial, some trite, some oo-la-la's in white
Some rendezvous made history or ended in a fight
