We were a king once Can we be king twice? We were bathing in milk Played for diamonds and silk Once But we want it twice My show was a magnet for the crowd No one could resist Volpe's crown Now the little ones Now the married ones Prefer Garbo, Gardel, Valentino, la voce di Caruso, jazz on the radio You were the kings once Mon Dieu, was it nice You were knights of the night Full of glory and might Once So let's get it twice We need an ace, a prince, a hero With no fear, no tears, no shame Who can take us around il mondo Back to success and fame Believe in you, believe in me, believe in you We were a king once We can be king twice We lit big fat dunhills With hundred Dollar bills Once Can we do it twice? From Monte Carlo to Paris In my silver blue Bugatti We need an actor You need not a bore Listen to me, mes amis, I am the Paganini Believe it, believe in me ♪ Believe in you (we were the kings once) Believe in me Believe in me
