they called her rita
but she had another name
she danced the luca
and the boys she´d entertain
with just one look at you
you´re under her spell all night, all night

and as the curtains opened
rita hit the floor
a smile so wild that all the boys would ask for more
she opened up her arms
and welcomed everyone inside, inside

club c´est la vie
the place to be
where you can live your fantasy
the energy will get you high
the kicks are free
at club c´est la vie
club c´est la vie

as rita danced the place would lift up off it´s feet
and all the crashers would be left out on the street
for just one look at her
they´d stand in a line all day, they say, uh

i stared across the floor
and then i caught her eye
she moved towards me
and i started to see why
everybody came for miles just to
see her show, you know

club c´est la vie
the place to be
where you can live your fantasy
the energy will get you high
the kicks are free
at club c´est la vie
club c´est la vie

club c´est la vie

as the light comes up
and night turns into day
rita disappears still dancing all the way
and all boys will tell you
she´s in their hearts tonight, tonight

club c´est la vie
the place to be
where you can live your fantasy
the energy will get you high
the kicks are free
at club c´est la vie
club c´est la vie
club c´est la vie
club c´est la vie
club c´est la vie
