Bought me a box of French cigars, bought me a black beret
Get my French from a girl next door, teaching me night & day
Got me thinking `bout the south of France, vis-a-vis vous
Pack my suitcase, take a chance -- got nothing to lose

Gimme the sound of the rolling dice
Gimme a whiskey, don't think twice
Deal me the card that takes my blues away
Take me away to Marseilles

Fast train, jet plane, money to burn, don't ask the reason why
Drinkin' champagne, playin' cool, don't even have to try
Got me thinking `bout the south of France, vis-a-vis vous
Pack my suitcase, take a chance -- got nothing to lose

Gimme the sound of the rolling dice
Gimme the whiskey, don't think twice
Deal me the card that takes my blues away
Take me away to Marseilles

Fast train, jet plane, money to burn, don't ask the reason why
Drinkin' champagne, playin' cool, don't even have to try hey!

Gimme the sound of the rolling dice
Gimme the whiskey, don't think twice
Deal me the card that takes my blues away
Take me away to Marseilles

Marseilles
Take me away to Marseilles
Marseilles
