Can Can
London Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love and you won't regret it
Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It's nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it, won't you tell me how?"
The lyrics of London Philharmonic Orchestra's song "Can Can" talks about the true meaning of work and life. It starts by questioning the worth of living only for material desires and fame, as these things do not necessarily bring joy or guarantee a lasting legacy. The song then asserts that the only kind of work that gives true enjoyment is the one that is connected to love – the kind of work that is meant for both girls and boys.
The song then describes the beauty of falling in love and holding hands at midnight under a starry sky as an example of this real work, using it as a metaphor for the kind of work that truly matters in life. The chorus of the song reiterates that finding love is indeed nice and valuable work, and encourages listeners to try their luck in this endeavor. The second verse of the song further emphasizes the importance of love, depicting an idyllic scene of two hearts becoming one and taking a vow to love and cherish each other forever.
Overall, the lyrics of "Can Can" are a reminder that true joy and fulfillment in life can only be found in the heartfelt connections we make with others, particularly in the context of romantic love.

Phosphorus, then Sulfur, Chlorine and Argon
Potassium, and Calcium so you'll grow strong
Scandium, Titanium, Vanadium and Chromium and Manganese

This is the Periodic Table
Noble gas is stable
Halogens and Alkali react aggressively
Each period will see new outer shells
While electrons are added moving to the right

J'aime beaucoup Offenbach. C'est festif. En ce moment on en a bien besoin. Même le chef d'orchestre respire la joie de vivre. Je ne me lasserai jamais de ce morceau.

Fun Fact: The dude on the triangle at the start was only supposed to hit it once but miss-read the musical sheet and kept hitting it, and Offenbach liked it so much he kept it!
