Aristocrat

In the palace of Versailles, before the fall We were wild, we were so debauched Extravagance was practically a law If we ever got bored, we said "Let's throw a ball" And you'd chase me naked through the palace garden Before we dove into a sparkling champagne fountain Eating cake with a little golden butter They never even knew that I got here from the gutter [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I dance like an aristocrat Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that Show me that you understand Come on and do it like only a poor kid can [Chorus] Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat [Verse 2] In the middle of the night The ladies of the court Would catfight tryna be the king's consort I'm sorry B, he's hot for me La Comtesse du Poverty Me and Marie dressed head to toe in diamonds With an orchestra to drown out all the violence And the gossip cut like a handcrafted stiletto But they never figured out that I got here from the ghetto [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I dance like an aristocrat Hold your head up high, yeah, just like that Show me that you understand Come on and do it like only a poor kid can [Chorus] Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat [Bridge] Out of the fire Out of the fire Courante, Bourrée, Allemande if you want Courante, Bourrée, Allemande if you want [Chorus] Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat Oh, aristocrat Oh, dance like an aristocrat
