 D
Les boys do cabaret
               G
Les boys are glad to be gay

               D
They're not afraid now
D
Disco bar in Germany
               G
Les boys are glad to be
        D
Upon parade now

D
Les boys got leather straps
                 G
Les boys got SS caps
                 D
But they got no gun now
D
Get dressed up get a little risque
                              G
Got to do a little S&M these days
          D
It's all in fun now

Chorus:
G
Les boys come on again
For the high class whores
And the businessmen
      C               E7
Who drive in their Mercedes Benz
      A7
To a disco bar in old Munchen

They get the jokes that the DJ makes
They get nervous and they make mistakes
They're bad for business
Some tourists take a photograph
Les boys don't get one laugh
He says they're useless

Chorus

G
Late at night when they've gone away
Les boys dream of Jean Genet
 C                     E7
High heel shoes and a black berret
         A7
And the posters on the wall that say

             D
Les boys do cabaret
               G
Les boys are glad to be gay
D
Les boys do cabaret
                         G
Les boys are glad to be gay
 D
Les boys do cabaret
                         G
Les boys are glad to be gay
 D
Les boys do cabaret
                         G
Les boys are glad to be gay
D
Les boys do cabaret
                         G
Les boys are glad to be gay
