| 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’d say, «Let's throw a ball»
 | 
| 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
 | 
| '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
 | 
| Oh, aristocrat
 | 
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
 | 
| Oh, aristocrat
 | 
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
 | 
| 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
 | 
| '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
 | 
| Oh, aristocrat
 | 
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
 | 
| Oh, aristocrat
 | 
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
 | 
| Out of the fire
 | 
| Out of the fire
 | 
| Courante, bourrée, allemande if you want
 | 
| Courante, bourrée, allemande if you want
 | 
| Oh, aristocrat
 | 
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat
 | 
| Oh, aristocrat
 | 
| Oh, dance like an aristocrat |
