"Allez-Vous-En" is a popular song. It was written by Cole Porter and was published in 1953.

The song was featured in the musical Can-Can when it was introduced by the French actress Lilo.[1]

A recording by Kay Starr was the biggest hit. This recording was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 2464. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on June 27, 1953, and lasted nine weeks on the chart, peaking at number 13.[2] This was one side of a two-sided hit; the flip side was "Half a Photograph," an even bigger hit.

Other versions[edit]

Phrase meaning[edit]

The phrase Allez-vous-en is a French phrase meaning Go away directed to one or more persons with whom one is not familiar. Its more familiar translation is va t´en (informal). The phrases are formed using the reflexive conjugated form of the verb aller which means to go, and the object pronoun en.
