1 I am the dolphin of Place Dauphine
And Place Blanche looks bad
The trucks are full of milk
The street sweepers are full of brooms
R It's 5 o'clock, Paris is waking up, Paris is waking up
2 The transvestites are going to shave
The strippers are dressed again
The bolsters are crushed
The lovers are tired
3 The coffee is in the cups
The cafes clean their ice
And on Boulevard Montparnasse
The station is nothing more than a carcass
4 The commuters are in the stations
At La Villette we cut the bacon
Paris by night returns to the coaches
The bakers make bastards
5 The Eiffel Tower has cold feet
The Arc de Triomphe is revived
And the Obelisk is well erected
Between night and day
6 The newspapers are printed
The workers are depressed
The people are getting up they are being bullied
It's time I'm going to bed
R It's 5 o'clock Paris is getting up
It's 5 o'clock I'm not sleepy
