The Lyrics
The title refers to Luis Buñel's 1968 film starring Catherine Deneuve.
They call her Belle de Jour,
And she looks fine.
Diurnally, hot as a four*,
But at night time--
Yikes! It's like-ice time.
Her life. . .couldn't stand it. . .
Was runnin' her down.
Now on sugar daddies
She's dandled, on wrong-tracks side of town.
She is called Belle de Jour. . .
A trade malign--
On spine.
Belle de Jour
Needed cure. . .
Hubby dour
Bourgeois boor, so she now
Works in a lair
Of likeminded filles
de joie and wows
(Costs dearly)
Her client's. . .bêle par jour.**
Night's quiet time.
[fade on sounds of feigned ecstasy]
*oven
**bleats during the day
And she looks fine.
Diurnally, hot as a four*,
But at night time--
Yikes! It's like-ice time.
Her life. . .couldn't stand it. . .
Was runnin' her down.
Now on sugar daddies
She's dandled, on wrong-tracks side of town.
She is called Belle de Jour. . .
A trade malign--
On spine.
Belle de Jour
Needed cure. . .
Hubby dour
Bourgeois boor, so she now
Works in a lair
Of likeminded filles
de joie and wows
(Costs dearly)
Her client's. . .bêle par jour.**
Night's quiet time.
[fade on sounds of feigned ecstasy]
*oven
**bleats during the day
