- THE ILLEGITIMATE DAUGHTER Lyrics
FRENCH AMBASSADOR:
She's the illegitimate daughter
Of an illegitimate son
Of an illegitimate nephew
Of Napoléon.
SENATORS:
Napoléon?
FRENCH AMBASSADOR:
She's contemplating suicide
Because that man, he threw aside
A lady with the blue blood of Napoléon.
What sort of man
Is this who can
Insult my country
With his effront'ry
SENATORS:
To the illegitimate daughter
Of an illegitimate son
Of an illegitimate nephew
Of Napoléon.
FRENCH AMBASSADOR:
The Atlantic City witness!
